Blinding multi-probe cosmological experiments
J. Muir, G. M. Bernstein, D. Huterer +62
The goal of blinding is to hide an experiment's critical results -- here the inferred cosmological parameters -- until all decisions affecting its analysis have been finalised. Thi…
STRIDES: a 3.9 per cent measurement of the Hubble constant from the strong lens system DES J0408-5354
A. J. Shajib, S. Birrer, T. Treu +88
We present a blind time-delay cosmographic analysis for the lens system DES J04085354. This system is extraordinary for the presence of two sets of multiple images at different…
Dark Energy Survey Year 1 Results: Wide field mass maps via forward fitting in harmonic space
B. Mawdsley, D. Bacon, C. Chang +63
We present new wide-field weak lensing mass maps for the Year 1 Dark Energy Survey data, generated via a forward fitting approach. This method of producing maps does not impose any…
Mass Variance from Archival X-ray Properties of Dark Energy Survey Year-1 Galaxy Clusters
A. Farahi, X. Chen, A. E. Evrard +76
Using archival X-ray observations and a log-normal population model, we estimate constraints on the intrinsic scatter in halo mass at fixed optical richness for a galaxy cluster sa…
Stellar mass as a galaxy cluster mass proxy: application to the Dark Energy Survey redMaPPer clusters
A. Palmese, J. Annis, J. Burgad +82
We introduce a galaxy cluster mass observable, , based on the stellar masses of cluster members, and we present results for the Dark Energy Survey (DES) Year 1 observation…
