Dark Energy Survey Year 1 results: Validation of weak lensing cluster member contamination estimates from P(z) decomposition
T. N. Varga, J. DeRose, D. Gruen +68
Weak lensing source galaxy catalogs used in estimating the masses of galaxy clusters can be heavily contaminated by cluster members, prohibiting accurate mass calibration. In this…
Superluminous Supernovae from the Dark Energy Survey
C. R. Angus, M. Smith, M. Sullivan +72
We present a sample of 21 hydrogen-free superluminous supernovae (SLSNe-I), and one hydrogen-rich SLSN (SLSN-II) detected during the five-year Dark Energy Survey (DES). These SNe,…
Dark Energy Survey Year 1 results: Detection of Intra-cluster Light at Redshift 0.25
Y. Zhang, B. Yanny, A. Palmese +69
Using data collected by the Dark Energy Survey (DES), we report the detection of intracluster light (ICL) with galaxy clusters in the redshift range of 0.2-0.3. We design…
A Search for Optical Emission from Binary-Black-Hole Merger GW170814 with the Dark Energy Camera
Z. Doctor, R. Kessler, K. Herner +96
Binary black hole (BBH) mergers found by the LIGO and Virgo detectors are of immense scientific interest to the astrophysics community, but are considered unlikely to be sources of…
Chemical Abundance Analysis of Tucana III, the Second -process Enhanced Ultra-Faint Dwarf Galaxy
J. L. Marshall, T. Hansen, J. D. Simon +56
We present a chemical abundance analysis of four additional confirmed member stars of Tucana III, a Milky Way satellite galaxy candidate in the process of being tidally disrupted a…
Candidate Massive Galaxies at in the Dark Energy Survey
Pierandrea Guarnieri, Claudia Maraston, Daniel Thomas +52
Using stellar population models, we predicted that the Dark Energy Survey (DES) - due to its special combination of area (5000 deg. sq.) and depth () - would be in the po…
