The LSST Data Management System
Mario Jurić, Jeffrey Kantor, K-T Lim +62
The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) is a large-aperture, wide-field, ground-based survey system that will image the sky in six optical bands from 320 to 1050 nm, uniformly c…
Crowdsourcing quality control for Dark Energy Survey images
P. Melchior, E. Sheldon, A. Drlica-Wagner +47
We have developed a crowdsourcing web application for image quality control employed by the Dark Energy Survey. Dubbed the "DES exposure checker", it renders science-grade images d…
redMaGiC: Selecting Luminous Red Galaxies from the DES Science Verification Data
E. Rozo, E. S. Rykoff, A. Abate +84
We introduce redMaGiC, an automated algorithm for selecting Luminous Red Galaxies (LRGs). The algorithm was specifically developed to minimize photometric redshift uncertainties in…
The DES Science Verification Weak Lensing Shear Catalogues
M. Jarvis, E. Sheldon, J. Zuntz +92
We present weak lensing shear catalogues for 139 square degrees of data taken during the Science Verification (SV) time for the new Dark Energy Camera (DECam) being used for the Da…
