Optical follow-up of gravitational wave triggers with DECam during the first two LIGO/VIRGO observing runs
K. Herner, J. Annis, D. Brout +82
Gravitational wave (GW) events detectable by LIGO and Virgo have several possible progenitors, including black hole mergers, neutron star mergers, black hole--neutron star mergers,…
Forward Global Photometric Calibration of the Dark Energy Survey
D. Burke, E. S. Rykoff, S. Allam +56
Many scientific goals for the Dark Energy Survey (DES) require calibration of optical/NIR broadband photometry that is stable in time and uniform over the celestial sky…
Assessment of Systematic Chromatic Errors that Impact Sub-1% Photometric Precision in Large-Area Sky Surveys
T. S. Li, D. L. DePoy, J. L. Marshall +69
Meeting the science goals for many current and future ground-based optical large-area sky surveys requires that the calibrated broadband photometry is stable in time and uniform ov…
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…
The Difference Imaging Pipeline for the Transient Search in the Dark Energy Survey
R. Kessler, J. Marriner, M. Childress +60
We describe the difference imaging pipeline (DiffImg) used to detect transients in deep images from the Dark Energy Survey Supernova program (DES-SN) in its first observing season…
Automated Transient Identification in the Dark Energy Survey
D. A. Goldstein, C. B. D'Andrea, J. A. Fischer +64
We describe an algorithm for identifying point-source transients and moving objects on reference-subtracted optical images containing artifacts of processing and instrumentation. T…
