Weak-lensing mass calibration of redMaPPer galaxy clusters in Dark Energy Survey Science Verification data

P. Melchior, D. Gruen, T. McClintock +78

We use weak-lensing shear measurements to determine the mean mass of optically selected galaxy clusters in Dark Energy Survey Science Verification data. In a blinded analysis, we s…

Galaxy bias from galaxy-galaxy lensing in the DES Science Verification Data

J. Prat, C. Sánchez, R. Miquel +68

We present a measurement of galaxy-galaxy lensing around a magnitude-limited () sample of galaxies from the Dark Energy Survey Science Verification (DES-SV) data. We…

Cosmic Voids and Void Lensing in the Dark Energy Survey Science Verification Data

C. Sánchez, J. Clampitt, A. Kovacs +69

Galaxies and their dark matter halos populate a complicated filamentary network around large, nearly empty regions known as cosmic voids. Cosmic voids are usually identified in spe…

Cosmology from large scale galaxy clustering and galaxy-galaxy lensing with Dark Energy Survey Science Verification data

Juliana Kwan, Carles Sanchez, Joseph Clampitt +80

We present cosmological constraints from the Dark Energy Survey (DES) using a combined analysis of angular clustering of red galaxies and their cross-correlation with weak gravitat…

Cosmology constraints from shear peak statistics in Dark Energy Survey Science Verification data

T. Kacprzak, D. Kirk, O. Friedrich +81

Shear peak statistics has gained a lot of attention recently as a practical alternative to the two point statistics for constraining cosmological parameters. We perform a shear pea…

Galaxy-Galaxy Lensing in the DES Science Verification Data

J. Clampitt, C. Sánchez, J. Kwan +73

We present galaxy-galaxy lensing results from 139 square degrees of Dark Energy Survey (DES) Science Verification (SV) data. Our lens sample consists of red galaxies, known as redM…

Galaxy bias from the Dark Energy Survey Science Verification data: combining galaxy density maps and weak lensing maps

C. Chang, A. Pujol, E. Gaztanaga +80

We measure the redshift evolution of galaxy bias for a magnitude-limited galaxy sample by combining the galaxy density maps and weak lensing shear maps for a 116 deg ar…
