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: 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…
The XXL Survey: XXIII. The Mass Scale of XXL Clusters from Ensemble Spectroscopy
A. Farahi, V. Guglielmo, A. E. Evrard +34
An X-ray survey with the XMM-Newton telescope, XMM-XXL, has identified hundreds of galaxy groups and clusters in two 25 deg fields. Combining spectroscopic and X-ray observatio…
Localized massive halo properties in Bahamas and Macsis simulations: scalings, log-normality, and covariance
Arya Farahi, August E. Evrard, Ian McCarthy +2
Using tens of thousands of halos realized in the BAHAMAS and MACSIS simulations produced with a consistent astrophysics treatment that includes AGN feedback, we validate a multi-pr…
Dark Energy Survey Year 1 Results: A Precise H0 Measurement from DES Y1, BAO, and D/H Data
DES Collaboration, T. M. C. Abbott, F. B. Abdalla +88
We combine Dark Energy Survey Year 1 clustering and weak lensing data with Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) and Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN) experiments to constrain the Hubble…
The cosmological analysis of X-ray cluster surveys: IV. Testing ASpiX with template-based cosmological simulations
A. Valotti, M. Pierre, A. Farahi +5
Following extensive tests on analytical toy-catalogues (paper III), we present the results of a more realistic study over a 711 deg2 template-based cosmological simulation. Dark ma…
Dark Energy Survey Year 1 Results: Cross-Correlation Redshifts - Methods and Systematics Characterization
M. Gatti, P. Vielzeuf, C. Davis +104
We use numerical simulations to characterize the performance of a clustering-based method to calibrate photometric redshift biases. In particular, we cross-correlate the weak lensi…
OzDES multifibre spectroscopy for the Dark Energy Survey: Three year results and first data release
M. J. Childress, C. Lidman, T. M. Davis +98
We present results for the first three years of OzDES, a six-year programme to obtain redshifts for objects in the Dark Energy Survey (DES) supernova fields using the 2dF fibre pos…
Dark Energy Survey Year 1 Results: Galaxy clustering for combined probes
J. Elvin-Poole, M. Crocce, A. J. Ross +123
We measure the clustering of DES Year 1 galaxies that are intended to be combined with weak lensing samples in order to produce precise cosmological constraints from the joint anal…
Dark Energy Survey Year 1 Results: Weak Lensing Shape Catalogues
J. Zuntz, E. Sheldon, S. Samuroff +104
We present two galaxy shape catalogues from the Dark Energy Survey Year 1 data set, covering 1500 square degrees with a median redshift of . The catalogues cover two main fie…
Dark Energy Survey Year 1 Results: Redshift distributions of the weak lensing source galaxies
B. Hoyle, D. Gruen, G. M. Bernstein +135
We describe the derivation and validation of redshift distribution estimates and their uncertainties for the galaxies used as weak lensing sources in the Dark Energy Survey (DES) Y…
