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…
Eight New Milky Way Companions Discovered in First-Year Dark Energy Survey Data
The DES Collaboration, K. Bechtol, A. Drlica-Wagner +91
We report the discovery of eight new Milky Way companions in ~1,800 deg^2 of optical imaging data collected during the first year of the Dark Energy Survey (DES). Each system is id…
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…
