Ultra-Faint Milky Way Satellites Discovered in Carina, Phoenix, and Telescopium with DELVE Data Release 3
C. Y. Tan, W. Cerny, A. B. Pace +76
We report the discovery of three Milky Way satellite candidates: Carina IV, Phoenix III, and DELVE 7, in the third data release of the DECam Local Volume Exploration survey (DELVE)…
Discovering Strong Gravitational Lenses in the Dark Energy Survey with Interactive Machine Learning and Crowd-sourced Inspection with Space Warps
J. Gonzalez, P. Holloway, T. Collett +70
We conduct a search for strong gravitational lenses in the Dark Energy Survey (DES) Year 6 imaging data. We implement a pre-trained Vision Transformer (ViT) for our machine learnin…
The Hierarchical Growth of Bright Central Galaxies and Intracluster Light as Traced by the Magnitude Gap
Jesse B. Golden-Marx, Y. Zhang, R. L. C. Ogando +48
Using a sample of 2800 galaxy clusters identified in the Dark Energy Survey across the redshift range , we characterize the hierarchical assembly of Bright Central…
Weak Gravitational Lensing around Low Surface Brightness Galaxies in the DES Year 3 Data
N. Chicoine, J. Prat, G. Zacharegkas +102
We present galaxy-galaxy lensing measurements using a sample of low surface brightness galaxies (LSBGs) drawn from the Dark Energy Survey Year 3 (Y3) data as lenses. LSBGs are diff…
Environmental Quenching of Low Surface Brightness Galaxies near Milky Way mass Hosts
J. Bhattacharyya, A. H. G. Peter, P. Martini +48
Low Surface Brightness Galaxies (LSBGs) are excellent probes of quenching and other environmental processes near massive galaxies. We study an extensive sample of LSBGs near massiv…
The Large Magellanic Cloud stellar content with SMASH: I. Assessing the stability of the Magellanic spiral arms
T. Ruiz-Lara, C. Gallart, M. Monelli +23
The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is the closest and most studied example of an irregular galaxy. Among its principal defining morphological features, its off-centred bar and single…
The Host Galaxies of Rapidly Evolving Transients in the Dark Energy Survey
P. Wiseman, M. Pursiainen, M. Childress +72
Rapidly evolving transients (RETs), also termed fast blue optical transients (FBOTs), are a distinct class of astrophysical event. They are characterised by lightcurves that declin…
Supernova Siblings: Assessing the Consistency of Properties of Type Ia Supernovae that Share the Same Parent Galaxies
D. Scolnic, M. Smith, A. Massiah +82
While many studies have shown a correlation between properties of the light curves of Type Ia SN (SNe Ia) and properties of their host galaxies, it remains unclear what is driving…
Exploring the Very Extended Low Surface Brightness Stellar Populations of the Large Magellanic Cloud with SMASH
David L. Nidever, Knut Olsen, Yumi Choi +23
We present the detection of very extended stellar populations around the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) out to R~21 degrees, or ~18.5 kpc at the LMC distance of 50 kpc, as detected i…
DES15E2mlf: A Spectroscopically Confirmed Superluminous Supernova that Exploded 3.5 Gyr After the Big Bang
Y. -C. Pan, R. J. Foley, M. Smith +63
We present the Dark Energy Survey (DES) discovery of DES15E2mlf, the most distant superluminous supernova (SLSN) spectroscopically confirmed to date. The light curves and Gemini sp…
OzDES multi-fibre spectroscopy for the Dark Energy Survey: first-year operation and results
Fang Yuan, C. Lidman, T. M. Davis +99
OzDES is a five-year, 100-night, spectroscopic survey on the Anglo-Australian Telescope, whose primary aim is to measure redshifts of approximately 2,500 Type Ia supernovae host ga…
DES J0454-4448: Discovery of the First Luminous z > 6 Quasar from the Dark Energy Survey
S. L. Reed, R. G. McMahon, M. Banerji +59
We present the first results of a survey for high redshift, z 6, quasars using izY multi-colour photometric observations from the Dark Energy Survey (DES). Here we report the…
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…
The LMC geometry and outer stellar populations from early DES data
Eduardo Balbinot, B. X. Santiago, L. Girardi +50
The Dark Energy Camera has captured a large set of images as part of Science Verification (SV) for the Dark Energy Survey. The SV footprint covers a lar ge portion of the outer Lar…
