DES meets Gaia: discovery of strongly lensed quasars from a multiplet search

A. Agnello, H. Lin, N. Kuropatkin +69

We report the discovery, spectroscopic confirmation and first lens models of the first two, strongly lensed quasars from a combined search in WISE and Gaia over the DES footprint.…

Quasar Accretion Disk Sizes From Continuum Reverberation Mapping From the Dark Energy Survey

D. Mudd, P. Martini, Y. Zu +69

We present accretion disk size measurements for 15 luminous quasars at derived from light curves from the Dark Energy Survey. We measure the disk sizes…

Galaxies in X-ray Selected Clusters and Groups in Dark Energy Survey Data II: Hierarchical Bayesian Modeling of the Red-Sequence Galaxy Luminosity Function

Y. Zhang, C. J. Miller, P. Rooney +77

Using X-ray selected clusters in the Dark Energy Survey Science Verification data, we constrain the luminosity function (LF) of cluster red sequence galaxies as a functi…

Density split statistics: joint model of counts and lensing in cells

O. Friedrich, D. Gruen, J. DeRose +71

We present density split statistics, a framework that studies lensing and counts-in-cells as a function of foreground galaxy density, thereby providing a large-scale measurement of…

DES Science Portal: Creating Science-Ready Catalogs

Angelo Fausti Neto, Luiz da Costa, Aurelio Carnero Rosell +55

We present a novel approach for creating science-ready catalogs through a software infrastructure developed for the Dark Energy Survey (DES). We integrate the data products release…

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…

Dark Energy Survey Year 1 Results: Photometric Data Set for Cosmology

A. Drlica-Wagner, I. Sevilla-Noarbe, E. S. Rykoff +86

We describe the creation, content, and validation of the Dark Energy Survey (DES) internal year-one cosmology data set, Y1A1 GOLD, in support of upcoming cosmological analyses. The…

Dark Energy Survey Year 1 Results: Multi-Probe Methodology and Simulated Likelihood Analyses

E. Krause, T. F. Eifler, J. Zuntz +83

We present the methodology for and detail the implementation of the Dark Energy Survey (DES) 3x2pt DES Year 1 (Y1) analysis, which combines configuration-space two-point statistics…

Forward Global Photometric Calibration of the Dark Energy Survey

D. Burke, E. S. Rykoff, S. Allam +56

Many scientific goals for the Dark Energy Survey (DES) require calibration of optical/NIR broadband photometry that is stable in time and uniform over the celestial sky…

COSMOS2015 photometric redshifts probe the impact of filaments on galaxy properties

Clotilde Laigle, Christophe Pichon, Stephane Arnouts +12

The variations of galaxy stellar masses and colour-types with the distance to projected cosmic filaments are quantified using the precise photometric redshifts of the COSMOS2015 ca…

Eight new luminous z > 6 quasars selected via SED model fitting of VISTA, WISE and Dark Energy Survey Year 1 Observations

S. L. Reed, R. G. McMahon, P. Martini +60

We present the discovery and spectroscopic confirmation with the ESO NTT and Gemini South telescopes of eight new 6.0 < z < 6.5 quasars with z < 21.0. These quasars were pho…
