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…

Finding high-redshift strong lenses in DES using convolutional neural networks

C. Jacobs, T. Collett, K. Glazebrook +63

We search Dark Energy Survey (DES) Year 3 imaging data for galaxy-galaxy strong gravitational lenses using convolutional neural networks. We generate 250,000 simulated lenses at re…

Quasar Accretion Disk Sizes from Continuum Reverberation Mapping in the DES Standard Star Fields

Zhefu Yu, Paul Martini, T. M. Davis +72

Measurements of the physical properties of accretion disks in active galactic nuclei are important for better understanding the growth and evolution of supermassive black holes. We…

The morphology and structure of stellar populations in the Fornax dwarf spheroidal galaxy from Dark Energy Survey Data

Mei-Yu Wang, T. de Boer, A. Pieres +55

Using deep wide-field photometry three-year data (Y3) from the Dark Energy Survey (DES), we present a panoramic study of the Fornax dwarf spheroidal galaxy. The data presented here…

A catalogue of structural and morphological measurements for DES Y1

F. Tarsitano, W. G. Hartley, A. Amara +60

We present a structural and morphological catalogue for 45 million objects selected from the first year of data from the Dark Energy Survey (DES). Single Sersic fits and non-parame…

Is every strong lens model unhappy in its own way? Uniform modelling of a sample of 13 quadruply+ imaged quasars

A. J. Shajib, S. Birrer, T. Treu +70

Strong-gravitational lens systems with quadruply-imaged quasars (quads) are unique probes to address several fundamental problems in cosmology and astrophysics. Although they are i…

Transfer learning for galaxy morphology from one survey to another

H. Domínguez Sánchez, M. Huertas-Company, M. Bernardi +56

Deep Learning (DL) algorithms for morphological classification of galaxies have proven very successful, mimicking (or even improving) visual classifications. However, these algorit…

The STRong lensing Insights into the Dark Energy Survey (STRIDES) 2016 follow-up campaign. II. New quasar lenses from double component fitting

T. Anguita, P. L. Schechter, N. Kuropatkin +56

We report upon the follow up of 34 candidate lensed quasars found in the Dark Energy Survey using NTT-EFOSC, Magellan-IMACS, KECK-ESI and SOAR-SAMI. These candidates were selected…

Modelling the Tucana III stream - a close passage with the LMC

D. Erkal, T. S. Li, S. E. Koposov +67

We present results of the first dynamical stream fits to the recently discovered Tucana III stream. These fits assume a fixed Milky Way potential and give proper motion predictions…

The First Tidally Disrupted Ultra-Faint Dwarf Galaxy? - Spectroscopic Analysis of the Tucana III Stream

T. S. Li, J. D. Simon, K. Kuehn +68

We present a spectroscopic study of the tidal tails and core of the Milky Way satellite Tucana III, collectively referred to as the Tucana III stream, using the 2dF+AAOmega spectro…

UV-Luminous, Star-Forming Hosts of z~2 Reddened Quasars in the Dark Energy Survey

C. F. Wethers, M. Banerji, P. C. Hewett +55

We present the first rest-frame UV population study of 17 heavily reddened, high-luminosity (E(B-V) 0.5; L 10ergs) broad-line quasar…
