A stellar over-density associated with the Small Magellanic Cloud
A. Pieres, B. X. Santiago, A. Drlica-Wagner +64
We report the discovery of a stellar over-density 8 north of the center of the Small Magellanic Cloud (Small Magellanic Cloud Northern Over-Density; SMCNOD) using data fr…
A Study of Quasar Selection in the Dark Energy Survey Supernova fields
S. S. Tie, P. Martini, D. Mudd +75
We present a study of quasar selection using the DES supernova fields. We used a quasar catalog from an overlapping portion of the SDSS Stripe 82 region to quantify the completenes…
A Search for Kilonovae in the Dark Energy Survey
Z. Doctor, R. Kessler, H. Y. Chen +68
The coalescence of a binary neutron star (BNS) pair is expected to produce gravitational waves (GW) and electromagnetic (EM) radiation, both of which may be detectable with current…
Farthest Neighbor: The Distant Milky Way Satellite Eridanus II
T. S. Li, J. D. Simon, A. Drlica-Wagner +56
We present Magellan/IMACS spectroscopy of the recently-discovered Milky Way satellite Eridanus II (Eri II). We identify 28 member stars in Eri II, from which we measure a systemic…
Nearest Neighbor: The Low-Mass Milky Way Satellite Tucana III
J. D. Simon, T. S. Li, A. Drlica-Wagner +56
We present Magellan/IMACS spectroscopy of the recently discovered Milky Way satellite Tucana III (Tuc III). We identify 26 member stars in Tuc III, from which we measure a mean rad…
The Dark Energy Survey view of the Sagittarius stream: discovery of two faint stellar system candidates
E. Luque, A. Pieres, B. Santiago +63
We report the discovery of two new candidate stellar systems in the constellation of Cetus using the data from the first two years of the Dark Energy Survey (DES). The objects, DES…
Discovery of a z=0.65 Post-Starburst BAL Quasar in the DES Supernova Fields
Dale Mudd, Paul Martini, Suk Sien Tie +55
We present the discovery of a z=0.65 low-ionization broad absorption line (LoBAL) quasar in a post-starburst galaxy in data from the Dark Energy Survey (DES) and spectroscopy from…
The Evolution of Active Galactic Nuclei in Clusters of Galaxies from the Dark Energy Survey
E. Bufanda, D. Hollowood, T. E. Jeltema +53
The correlation between active galactic nuclei (AGN) and environment provides important clues to AGN fueling and the relationship of black hole growth to galaxy evolution. In this…
A DECam Search for an Optical Counterpart to the LIGO Gravitational Wave Event GW151226
P. S. Cowperthwaite, E. Berger, M. Soares-Santos +97
We report the results of a Dark Energy Camera (DECam) optical follow-up of the gravitational wave (GW) event GW151226, discovered by the Advanced LIGO detectors. Our observations c…
Optical-SZE Scaling Relations for DES Optically Selected Clusters within the SPT-SZ Survey
A. Saro, S. Bocquet, J. Mohr +68
We study the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect (SZE) signature in South Pole Telescope (SPT) data for an ensemble of 719 optically identified galaxy clusters selected from 124.6 deg of…
Galaxy Populations in Massive Galaxy Clusters to z=1.1: Color Distribution, Concentration, Halo Occupation Number and Red Sequence Fraction
C. Hennig, J. J. Mohr, A. Zenteno +70
We study the galaxy populations in 74 Sunyaev Zeldovich Effect (SZE) selected clusters from the South Pole Telescope (SPT) survey that have been imaged in the science verification…
Host Galaxy Identification for Supernova Surveys
Ravi R. Gupta, Steve Kuhlmann, Eve Kovacs +57
Host galaxy identification is a crucial step for modern supernova (SN) surveys such as the Dark Energy Survey (DES) and the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST), which will disco…
Detection of the kinematic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect with DES Year 1 and SPT
B. Soergel, S. Flender, K. T. Story +80
We detect the kinematic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (kSZ) effect with a statistical significance of by combining a cluster catalogue derived from the first year data of the Dark Ene…
A Dark Energy Camera Search for Missing Supergiants in the LMC After the Advanced LIGO Gravitational Wave Event GW150914
J. Annis, M. Soares-Santos, E. Berger +104
The collapse of the core of a star is expected to produce gravitational radiation. While this process will usually produce a luminous supernova, the optical signatue could be sublu…
Galaxy bias from the Dark Energy Survey Science Verification data: combining galaxy density maps and weak lensing maps
C. Chang, A. Pujol, E. Gaztanaga +80
We measure the redshift evolution of galaxy bias for a magnitude-limited galaxy sample by combining the galaxy density maps and weak lensing shear maps for a 116 deg ar…
