Studying the Ultraviolet Spectrum of the First Spectroscopically Confirmed Supernova at redshift two

M. Smith, M. Sullivan, R. C. Nichol +87

We present observations of DES16C2nm, the first spectroscopically confirmed hydrogen-free superluminous supernova (SLSN-I) at redshift z~2. DES16C2nm was discovered by the Dark Ene…

Dark Energy Survey Year 1 Results: Calibration of redMaGiC Redshift Distributions in DES and SDSS from Cross-Correlations

R. Cawthon, C. Davis, M. Gatti +88

We present calibrations of the redshift distributions of redMaGiC galaxies in the Dark Energy Survey Year 1 (DES Y1) and Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) DR8 data. These results det…

Dark Energy Survey Year 1 Results: galaxy mock catalogues for BAO

S. Avila, M. Crocce, A. J. Ross +51

Mock catalogues are a crucial tool in the analysis of galaxy surveys data, both for the accurate computation of covariance matrices, and for the optimisation of analysis methodolog…

Dark Energy Survey Year 1 Results: Galaxy Sample for BAO Measurement

M. Crocce, A. J. Ross, I. Sevilla-Noarbe +84

We define and characterise a sample of 1.3 million galaxies extracted from the first year of Dark Energy Survey data, optimised to measure Baryon Acoustic Oscillations in the prese…

Dark Energy Survey Year 1 Results: Measurement of the Baryon Acoustic Oscillation scale in the distribution of galaxies to redshift 1

The Dark Energy Survey Collaboration, T. M. C. Abbott, F. B. Abdalla +109

We present angular diameter distance measurements obtained by locating the BAO scale in the distribution of galaxies selected from the first year of Dark Energy Survey data. We con…

Evidence for Dynamically Driven Formation of the GW170817 Neutron Star Binary in NGC 4993

A. Palmese, W. Hartley, F. Tarsitano +89

We present a study of NGC 4993, the host galaxy of the GW170817 gravitational wave event, the GRB170817A short gamma-ray burst (sGRB) and the AT2017gfo kilonova. We use Dark Energy…
