Dark Energy Survey Year 1 Results: Cross-Correlation Redshifts - Methods and Systematics Characterization
M. Gatti, P. Vielzeuf, C. Davis +104
We use numerical simulations to characterize the performance of a clustering-based method to calibrate photometric redshift biases. In particular, we cross-correlate the weak lensi…
Deja Vu All Over Again: The Reappearance of Supernova Refsdal
P. L. Kelly, S. A. Rodney, T. Treu +21
In Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging taken on 10 November 2014, four images of supernova (SN) "Refsdal" (redshift z=1.49) appeared in an Einstein-cross--like configuration (imag…
Spectroscopic Observations of SN 2012fr: A Luminous Normal Type Ia Supernova with Early High Velocity Features and Late Velocity Plateau
M. J. Childress, R. A. Scalzo, S. A. Sim +55
We present 65 optical spectra of the Type Ia supernova SN 2012fr, of which 33 were obtained before maximum light. At early times SN 2012fr shows clear evidence of a high-velocity f…
Testing the gravitational lensing explanation for the MgII problem in GRBs
Sharon Rapoport, Christopher A. Onken, Brian P. Schmidt +3
Sixty percent of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) reveal strong MgII absorbing systems, which is a factor of ~2 times the rate seen along lines-of-sight to quasars. The discrepancy in the c…
