Quasar Accretion Disk Sizes From Continuum Reverberation Mapping From the Dark Energy Survey

D. Mudd, P. Martini, Y. Zu +69

We present accretion disk size measurements for 15 luminous quasars at derived from light curves from the Dark Energy Survey. We measure the disk sizes…

Deep SOAR follow-up photometry of two Milky Way outer-halo companions discovered with Dark Energy Survey

E. Luque, B. Santiago, A. Pieres +48

We report the discovery of a new star cluster, DES 3, in the constellation of Indus, and deeper observations of the previously identified satellite DES J0222.75217 (Eridanus III…

DES15E2mlf: A Spectroscopically Confirmed Superluminous Supernova that Exploded 3.5 Gyr After the Big Bang

Y. -C. Pan, R. J. Foley, M. Smith +63

We present the Dark Energy Survey (DES) discovery of DES15E2mlf, the most distant superluminous supernova (SLSN) spectroscopically confirmed to date. The light curves and Gemini sp…

Extreme variability quasars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and the Dark Energy Survey

Nick Rumbaugh, Yue Shen, Eric Morganson +49

We perform a systematic search for long-term extreme variability quasars (EVQs) in the overlapping Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and 3-Year Dark Energy Survey (DES) imaging, whic…

Environmental dependence of the galaxy stellar mass function in the Dark Energy Survey Science Verification Data

J. Etherington, D. Thomas, C. Maraston +61

Measurements of the galaxy stellar mass function are crucial to understand the formation of galaxies in the Universe. In a hierarchical clustering paradigm it is plausible that the…

Eight new luminous z > 6 quasars selected via SED model fitting of VISTA, WISE and Dark Energy Survey Year 1 Observations

S. L. Reed, R. G. McMahon, P. Martini +60

We present the discovery and spectroscopic confirmation with the ESO NTT and Gemini South telescopes of eight new 6.0 < z < 6.5 quasars with z < 21.0. These quasars were pho…
