Observation and Confirmation of Six Strong Lensing Systems in The Dark Energy Survey Science Verification Data
B. Nord, E. Buckley-Geer, H. Lin +89
We report the observation and confirmation of the first group- and cluster-scale strong gravitational lensing systems found in Dark Energy Survey (DES) data. Through visual inspect…
Physical properties of star clusters in the outer LMC as observed by the Dark Energy Survey
A. Pieres, B. Santiago, E. Balbinot +57
The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) harbors a rich and diverse system of star clusters, whose ages, chemical abundances, and positions provide information about the LMC history of sta…
Discovery of a Stellar Overdensity in Eridanus-Phoenix in the Dark Energy Survey
T. S. Li, E. Balbinot, N. Mondrik +56
We report the discovery of an excess of main sequence turn-off stars in the direction of the constellations of Eridanus and Phoenix from the first year data of the Dark Energy Surv…
The Phoenix stream: a cold stream in the Southern hemisphere
E. Balbinot, B. Yanny, T. S. Li +49
We report the discovery of a stellar stream in the Dark Energy Survey (DES) Year 1 (Y1A1) data. The discovery was made through simple color-magnitude filters and visual inspection…
Digging deeper into the Southern skies: a compact Milky-Way companion discovered in first-year Dark Energy Survey data
E. Luque, A. Queiroz, B. Santiago +61
The Dark Energy Survey (DES) is a 5000 sq. degree survey in the southern hemisphere, which is rapidly reducing the existing north-south asymmetry in the census of MW satellites and…
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…
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…
