Photometric redshifts and clustering of emission line galaxies selected jointly by DES and eBOSS

S. Jouvel, T. Delubac, J. Comparat +65

We present the results of the first test plates of the extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey. This paper focuses on the emission line galaxies (ELG) population targetted…

Cosmology from Cosmic Shear with DES Science Verification Data

The Dark Energy Survey Collaboration, T. Abbott, F. B. Abdalla +126

We present the first constraints on cosmology from the Dark Energy Survey (DES), using weak lensing measurements from the preliminary Science Verification (SV) data. We use 139 squ…

Weak lensing by galaxy troughs in DES Science Verification data

D. Gruen, O. Friedrich, A. Amara +89

We measure the weak lensing shear around galaxy troughs, i.e. the radial alignment of background galaxies relative to underdensities in projections of the foreground galaxy field o…

Wide-Field Lensing Mass Maps from DES Science Verification Data: Methodology and Detailed Analysis

V. Vikram, C. Chang, B. Jain +91

Weak gravitational lensing allows one to reconstruct the spatial distribution of the projected mass density across the sky. These "mass maps" provide a powerful tool for studying c…

Stellar Kinematics and Metallicities in the Ultra-Faint Dwarf Galaxy Reticulum II

J. D. Simon, A. Drlica-Wagner, T. S. Li +69

We present Magellan/M2FS, VLT/GIRAFFE, and Gemini South/GMOS spectroscopy of the newly discovered Milky Way satellite Reticulum II. Based on the spectra of 25 Ret II member stars s…
