Milky Way Satellite Census. I. The Observational Selection Function for Milky Way Satellites in DES Y3 and Pan-STARRS DR1

A. Drlica-Wagner, K. Bechtol, S. Mau +55

We report the results of a systematic search for ultra-faint Milky Way satellite galaxies using data from the Dark Energy Survey (DES) and Pan-STARRS1 (PS1). Together, DES and PS1…

Dark Energy Survey Year 3 results: cosmology with moments of weak lensing mass maps -- validation on simulations

M. Gatti, C. Chang, O. Friedrich +69

We present a simulated cosmology analysis using the second and third moments of the weak lensing mass (convergence) maps. The analysis is geared towards the third year (Y3) data fr…

Observation and Confirmation of Nine Strong Lensing Systems in Dark Energy Survey Year 1 Data

B. Nord, E. Buckley-Geer, H. Lin +63

We describe the observation and confirmation of \nbconfirmtext\ new strong gravitational lenses discovered in Year 1 data from the Dark Energy Survey (DES). We created candidate li…

The Mystery of Photometric Twins DES17X1boj and DES16E2bjy

M. Pursiainen, C. Gutierrez, P. Wiseman +80

We present an analysis of DES17X1boj and DES16E2bjy, two peculiar transients discovered by the Dark Energy Survey (DES). They exhibit nearly identical double-peaked light curves wh…

Blinding multi-probe cosmological experiments

J. Muir, G. M. Bernstein, D. Huterer +62

The goal of blinding is to hide an experiment's critical results -- here the inferred cosmological parameters -- until all decisions affecting its analysis have been finalised. Thi…

STRIDES: a 3.9 per cent measurement of the Hubble constant from the strong lens system DES J0408-5354

A. J. Shajib, S. Birrer, T. Treu +88

We present a blind time-delay cosmographic analysis for the lens system DES J04085354. This system is extraordinary for the presence of two sets of multiple images at different…
