Dark Energy Survey Year 1 Results: Cosmological Constraints from Galaxy Clustering and Weak Lensing

DES Collaboration, T. M. C. Abbott, F. B. Abdalla +197

We present cosmological results from a combined analysis of galaxy clustering and weak gravitational lensing, using 1321 deg of imaging data from the first year of the D…

Cosmology from Cosmic Shear with DES Science Verification Data

The Dark Energy Survey Collaboration, T. Abbott, F. B. Abdalla +126

We present the first constraints on cosmology from the Dark Energy Survey (DES), using weak lensing measurements from the preliminary Science Verification (SV) data. We use 139 squ…

DES J0454-4448: Discovery of the First Luminous z > 6 Quasar from the Dark Energy Survey

S. L. Reed, R. G. McMahon, M. Banerji +59

We present the first results of a survey for high redshift, z 6, quasars using izY multi-colour photometric observations from the Dark Energy Survey (DES). Here we report the…

Wide-Field Lensing Mass Maps from DES Science Verification Data: Methodology and Detailed Analysis

V. Vikram, C. Chang, B. Jain +91

Weak gravitational lensing allows one to reconstruct the spatial distribution of the projected mass density across the sky. These "mass maps" provide a powerful tool for studying c…

The spectral energy distribution of the redshift 7.1 quasar ULAS J1120+0641

R. Barnett, S. J. Warren, M. Banerji +7

We present new observations of the highest-redshift quasar known, ULAS J1120+0641, redshift , obtained in the optical, at near-, mid-, and far-infrared wavelengths, and in…

Detecting Massive Galaxies at High Redshift using the Dark Energy Survey

L. J. M. Davies, C. Maraston, D. Thomas +10

The Dark Energy Survey (DES) will be unprecedented in its ability to probe exceptionally large cosmic volumes to relatively faint optical limits. Primarily designed for the study o…

The Galaxy Luminosity Function from M_R = -25 to M_R = -9

Neil Trentham, Leda Sampson, Manda Banerji

Redshift surveys like the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) have given a very precise measurement of the galaxy luminosity function down to about M_R = -17 (~ M_B = -16). Fainter abs…
