Main belt asteroids taxonomical information from Dark Energy Survey data
Valerio Carruba, Júlio I. B. Camargo, Safwan Aljbaae +2
While proper orbital elements are currently available for more than 1 million asteroids, taxonomical information is still lagging behind. Surveys like SDSS-MOC4 provided preliminar…
Chemical Analysis of the Brightest Star of the Cetus II Ultra-Faint Dwarf Galaxy Candidate
K. B. Webber, T. T. Hansen, J. L. Marshall +42
We present a detailed chemical abundance analysis of the brightest star in the ultra-faint dwarf (UFD) galaxy candidate Cetus II from high-resolution Magellan/MIKE spectra. For thi…
A search for faint resolved galaxies beyond the Milky Way in DES Year 6: A new faint, diffuse dwarf satellite of NGC 55
M. McNanna, K. Bechtol, S. Mau +63
We report results from a systematic wide-area search for faint dwarf galaxies at heliocentric distances from 0.3 to 2 Mpc using the full six years of data from the Dark Energy Surv…
The Dark Energy Survey Six-Year Calibration Star Catalog
E. S. Rykoff, D. L. Tucker, D. L. Burke +64
This Technical Note presents a catalog of calibrated reference stars that was generated by the Forward Calibration Method (FGCM) pipeline (arXiv:1706.01542) as part of the FGCM pho…
Ultracool dwarfs candidates based on six years of the Dark Energy Survey data
M. dal Ponte, B. Santiago, A. Carnero Rosell +57
We present a sample of 19,583 ultracool dwarf candidates brighter than z selected from the Dark Energy Survey DR2 coadd data matched to VHS DR6, VIKING DR5 and AllWISE co…
Designing an Optimal Kilonova Search using DECam for Gravitational Wave Events
C. R. Bom, J. Annis, A. Garcia +67
We address the problem of optimally identifying all kilonovae detected via gravitational wave emission in the upcoming LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA Collaboration observing run, O4, which is ex…
Timing the r-Process Enrichment of the Ultra-Faint Dwarf Galaxy Reticulum II
Joshua D. Simon, Thomas M. Brown, Burçin Mutlu-Pakdil +65
The ultra-faint dwarf galaxy Reticulum II (Ret II) exhibits a unique chemical evolution history, with 72 +10/-12% of its stars strongly enhanced in r-process elements. We present d…
The DECam Local Volume Exploration Survey Data Release 2
A. Drlica-Wagner, P. S. Ferguson, M. Adamów +121
We present the second public data release (DR2) from the DECam Local Volume Exploration survey (DELVE). DELVE DR2 combines new DECam observations with archival DECam data from the…
A Deeper Look at DES Dwarf Galaxy Candidates: Grus I and Indus II
Sarah A. Cantu, Andrew B. Pace, Jennifer Marshall +11
We present deep - and -band Magellan/Megacam photometry of two dwarf galaxy candidates discovered in the Dark Energy Survey (DES), Grus I and Indus II (DES J2038-4609). For t…
Search for RR Lyrae stars in DES ultra-faint systems: Grus I, Kim 2, Phoenix II, and Grus II
C. E. Martínez-Vázquez, A. K. Vivas, M. Foucoin +57
This work presents the first search for RR Lyrae stars (RRLs) in four of the ultra-faint systems imaged by the Dark Energy Survey (DES) using SOAR/Goodman and Blanco/DECam imagers.…
DES Science Portal: Creating Science-Ready Catalogs
Angelo Fausti Neto, Luiz da Costa, Aurelio Carnero Rosell +55
We present a novel approach for creating science-ready catalogs through a software infrastructure developed for the Dark Energy Survey (DES). We integrate the data products release…
Searching for Dark Matter Annihilation in Recently Discovered Milky Way Satellites with Fermi-LAT
The Fermi-LAT, DES Collaborations, A. Albert +70
We search for excess gamma-ray emission coincident with the positions of confirmed and candidate Milky Way satellite galaxies using 6 years of data from the Fermi Large Area Telesc…
Discovery of a z=0.65 Post-Starburst BAL Quasar in the DES Supernova Fields
Dale Mudd, Paul Martini, Suk Sien Tie +55
We present the discovery of a z=0.65 low-ionization broad absorption line (LoBAL) quasar in a post-starburst galaxy in data from the Dark Energy Survey (DES) and spectroscopy from…
Eight Ultra-faint Galaxy Candidates Discovered in Year Two of the Dark Energy Survey
The DES Collaboration, A. Drlica-Wagner, K. Bechtol +74
We report the discovery of eight new ultra-faint dwarf galaxy candidates in the second year of optical imaging data from the Dark Energy Survey (DES). Six of these candidates are d…

Search for Gamma-Ray Emission from DES Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy Candidates with Fermi-LAT Data
LAT Collaboration, The DES Collaboration, A. Drlica-Wagner +123
Due to their proximity, high dark-matter content, and apparent absence of non-thermal processes, Milky Way dwarf spheroidal satellite galaxies (dSphs) are excellent targets for the…
