Dark Energy Survey Year 1 Results: Measurement of the Baryon Acoustic Oscillation scale in the distribution of galaxies to redshift 1

The Dark Energy Survey Collaboration, T. M. C. Abbott, F. B. Abdalla +109

We present angular diameter distance measurements obtained by locating the BAO scale in the distribution of galaxies selected from the first year of Dark Energy Survey data. We con…

Dark Energy Survey Year 1 Results: Cosmological Constraints from Cosmic Shear

M. A. Troxel, N. MacCrann, J. Zuntz +132

We use 26 million galaxies from the Dark Energy Survey (DES) Year 1 shape catalogs over 1321 deg of the sky to produce the most significant measurement of cosmic shear in a gal…

Dark Energy Survey Year 1 Results: Curved-Sky Weak Lensing Mass Map

C. Chang, A. Pujol, B. Mawdsley +117

We construct the largest curved-sky galaxy weak lensing mass map to date from the DES first-year (DES Y1) data. The map, about 10 times larger than previous work, is constructed ov…
