Dark Energy Survey Year 1 results: Validation of weak lensing cluster member contamination estimates from P(z) decomposition

T. N. Varga, J. DeRose, D. Gruen +68

Weak lensing source galaxy catalogs used in estimating the masses of galaxy clusters can be heavily contaminated by cluster members, prohibiting accurate mass calibration. In this…

Target of Opportunity Observations of Gravitational Wave Events with LSST

R. Margutti, P. Cowperthwaite, Z. Doctor +79

The discovery of the electromagnetic counterparts to the binary neutron star merger GW170817 has opened the era of GW+EM multi-messenger astronomy. Exploiting this breakthrough req…

A New RASS Galaxy Cluster Catalog with Low Contamination Extending to in the DES Overlap Region

Matthias Klein, Sebastian Grandis, Joseph Mohr +2

We present the MARD-Y3 catalog of between 1086 and 2171 galaxy clusters (52\% and 65\% new) produced using multi-component matched filter (MCMF) followup in 5000\,deg of DES-Y3…

Dark Energy Survey Year 1 results: Detection of Intra-cluster Light at Redshift 0.25

Y. Zhang, B. Yanny, A. Palmese +69

Using data collected by the Dark Energy Survey (DES), we report the detection of intracluster light (ICL) with galaxy clusters in the redshift range of 0.2-0.3. We design…

A Search for Optical Emission from Binary-Black-Hole Merger GW170814 with the Dark Energy Camera

Z. Doctor, R. Kessler, K. Herner +96

Binary black hole (BBH) mergers found by the LIGO and Virgo detectors are of immense scientific interest to the astrophysics community, but are considered unlikely to be sources of…

First Cosmology Results Using Type Ia Supernovae from the Dark Energy Survey: Effects of Chromatic Corrections to Supernova Photometry on Measurements of Cosmological Parameters

J. Lasker, R. Kessler, D. Scolnic +78

Calibration uncertainties have been the leading systematic uncertainty in recent analyses using type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) to measure cosmological parameters. To improve the calib…
