Proper Motions of Stellar Streams Discovered in the Dark Energy Survey

N. Shipp, T. S. Li, A. B. Pace +12

We cross-match high-precision astrometric data from Gaia DR2 with accurate multi-band photometry from the Dark Energy Survey (DES) DR1 to confidently measure proper motions for nin…

Identification of RR Lyrae stars in multiband, sparsely-sampled data from the Dark Energy Survey using template fitting and Random Forest classification

K. M. Stringer, J. P. Long, L. M. Macri +75

Many studies have shown that RR Lyrae variable stars (RRL) are powerful stellar tracers of Galactic halo structure and satellite galaxies. The Dark Energy Survey (DES), with its de…

Probing the Fundamental Nature of Dark Matter with the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope

Alex Drlica-Wagner, Yao-Yuan Mao, Susmita Adhikari +97

Astrophysical and cosmological observations currently provide the only robust, empirical measurements of dark matter. Future observations with Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST…
