Dark Energy Survey Year 1 Results: galaxy mock catalogues for BAO

S. Avila, M. Crocce, A. J. Ross +51

Mock catalogues are a crucial tool in the analysis of galaxy surveys data, both for the accurate computation of covariance matrices, and for the optimisation of analysis methodolog…

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…

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…

Optimized Clustering Estimators for BAO Measurements Accounting for Significant Redshift Uncertainty

Ashley J. Ross, Nilanjan Banik, Santiago Avila +8

We determine an optimized clustering statistic to be used for galaxy samples with significant redshift uncertainty, such as those that rely on photometric redshifts. To do so, we s…

New astrophysical bounds on ultralight axionlike particles

Nilanjan Banik, Adam J. Christopherson, Pierre Sikivie +1

Motivated by tension between the predictions of ordinary cold dark matter (CDM) and observations at galactic scales, ultralight axionlike particles (ULALPs) with mass of the order…
