Brightest Cluster Galaxy ellipticity as proxy for halo shape: Orientation bias, assembly bias, and potential selection effects in SZ-selected clusters

Radhakrishnan Srinivasan, Tae-hyeon Shin, Anja von der Linden +93

The orientation of triaxial galaxy clusters with respect to the line-of-sight is expected to be one of the prime sources of scatter and potential bias in optical observables (e.g.,…

Weak Lensing Mass Calibration of the ACT DR5 Galaxy Clusters with the DES Year 3 Weak Lensing Data

T. Shin, E. J. Baxter, E. Lee +93

We use weak gravitational lensing measurements from Year 3 Dark Energy Survey data to calibrate the masses of 443 galaxy clusters selected via the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect from At…

The final WaZP galaxy cluster catalog of the Dark Energy Survey and comparison with SZE data

C. Benoist, M. Aguena, L. da Costa +43

In this work, we present and characterize the galaxy cluster catalog detected by the WaZP cluster finder, which is not based on red-sequence identification, on the full six years o…

The DES view of the Eridanus supervoid and the CMB Cold Spot

A. Kovács, N. Jeffrey, M. Gatti +119

The Cold Spot is a puzzling large-scale feature in the Cosmic Microwave Background temperature maps and its origin has been subject to active debate. As an important foreground str…

Dark Energy Survey Year 3 results: Cosmology with peaks using an emulator approach

D. Zürcher, J. Fluri, R. Sgier +119

We constrain the matter density and the amplitude of density fluctuations within the CDM cosmological model with shear peak statistics and angular converg…

The WaZP galaxy cluster sample of the Dark Energy Survey Year 1

M. Aguena, C. Benoist, L. N. da Costa +57

We present a new (2+1)D galaxy cluster finder based on photometric redshifts called Wavelet Z Photometric (WaZP) applied to DES first year (Y1A1) data. The results are compared to…

Dark Energy Survey Year 1 Results: Constraining Baryonic Physics in the Universe

Hung-Jin Huang, Tim Eifler, Rachel Mandelbaum +74

Measurements of large-scale structure are interpreted using theoretical predictions for the matter distribution, including potential impacts of baryonic physics. We constrain the f…

Dark Energy Survey Year 1 Results: Cosmological Constraints from Cluster Abundances and Weak Lensing

DES Collaboration, Tim Abbott, Michel Aguena +129

We perform a joint analysis of the counts and weak lensing signal of redMaPPer clusters selected from the Dark Energy Survey (DES) Year 1 dataset. Our analysis uses the same shear…

More out of less: an excess integrated Sachs-Wolfe signal from supervoids mapped out by the Dark Energy Survey

A. Kovács, C. Sánchez, J. García-Bellido +68

The largest structures in the cosmic web probe the dynamical nature of dark energy through their integrated Sachs-Wolfe imprints. In the strength of the signal, typical cosmic void…

Chandra Follow-Up of the SDSS DR8 redMaPPer Catalog Using the MATCha Pipeline

Devon L. Hollowood, Tesla Jeltema, Xinyi Chen +15

In order to place constraints on cosmology through optical surveys of galaxy clusters, one must first understand the properties of those clusters. To this end, we introduce the Mas…

Core or cusps: The central dark matter profile of a redshift one strong lensing cluster with a bright central image

Thomas E. Collett, Elizabeth Buckley-Geer, Huan Lin +58

We report on SPT-CLJ2011-5228, a giant system of arcs created by a cluster at . The arc system is notable for the presence of a bright central image. The source is a Lyman…

Cosmology from large scale galaxy clustering and galaxy-galaxy lensing with Dark Energy Survey Science Verification data

Juliana Kwan, Carles Sanchez, Joseph Clampitt +80

We present cosmological constraints from the Dark Energy Survey (DES) using a combined analysis of angular clustering of red galaxies and their cross-correlation with weak gravitat…

NTT and NOT spectroscopy of SDSS-II supernovae

L. Ostman, J. Nordin, A. Goobar +18

Context. The SDSS-II Supernova Survey, conducted between 2005 and 2007, was designed to detect a large number of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) around z~0.2, the redshift "gap" betwee…
