The Difference Imaging Pipeline for the Transient Search in the Dark Energy Survey
R. Kessler, J. Marriner, M. Childress +60
We describe the difference imaging pipeline (DiffImg) used to detect transients in deep images from the Dark Energy Survey Supernova program (DES-SN) in its first observing season…
Weak lensing by galaxy troughs in DES Science Verification data
D. Gruen, O. Friedrich, A. Amara +89
We measure the weak lensing shear around galaxy troughs, i.e. the radial alignment of background galaxies relative to underdensities in projections of the foreground galaxy field o…
Constraints on the Richness-Mass Relation and the Optical-SZE Positional Offset Distribution for SZE-Selected Clusters
A. Saro, S. Bocquet, E. Rozo +99
We cross-match galaxy cluster candidates selected via their Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect (SZE) signatures in 129.1 deg of the South Pole Telescope 2500d SPT-SZ survey with optical…
