Dark Energy Survey Year 1 Results: Calibration of redMaGiC Redshift Distributions in DES and SDSS from Cross-Correlations
R. Cawthon, C. Davis, M. Gatti +88
We present calibrations of the redshift distributions of redMaGiC galaxies in the Dark Energy Survey Year 1 (DES Y1) and Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) DR8 data. These results det…
Dark Energy Survey Year 1 Results: Measurement of the Baryon Acoustic Oscillation scale in the distribution of galaxies to redshift 1
The Dark Energy Survey Collaboration, T. M. C. Abbott, F. B. Abdalla +109
We present angular diameter distance measurements obtained by locating the BAO scale in the distribution of galaxies selected from the first year of Dark Energy Survey data. We con…
Evidence for Dynamically Driven Formation of the GW170817 Neutron Star Binary in NGC 4993
A. Palmese, W. Hartley, F. Tarsitano +89
We present a study of NGC 4993, the host galaxy of the GW170817 gravitational wave event, the GRB170817A short gamma-ray burst (sGRB) and the AT2017gfo kilonova. We use Dark Energy…
Quasar Accretion Disk Sizes From Continuum Reverberation Mapping From the Dark Energy Survey
D. Mudd, P. Martini, Y. Zu +69
We present accretion disk size measurements for 15 luminous quasars at derived from light curves from the Dark Energy Survey. We measure the disk sizes…

M. Soares-Santos, D. E. Holz, J. Annis +142
We present the Dark Energy Camera (DECam) discovery of the optical counterpart of the first binary neutron star merger detected through gravitational wave emission, GW170817. Our o…
OzDES multifibre spectroscopy for the Dark Energy Survey: Three year results and first data release
M. J. Childress, C. Lidman, T. M. Davis +98
We present results for the first three years of OzDES, a six-year programme to obtain redshifts for objects in the Dark Energy Survey (DES) supernova fields using the 2dF fibre pos…
Large Synoptic Survey Telescope Galaxies Science Roadmap
Brant E. Robertson, Manda Banerji, Michael C. Cooper +47
The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) will enable revolutionary studies of galaxies, dark matter, and black holes over cosmic time. The LSST Galaxies Science Collaboration has…
Dark Energy Survey Year 1 Results: Photometric Data Set for Cosmology
A. Drlica-Wagner, I. Sevilla-Noarbe, E. S. Rykoff +86
We describe the creation, content, and validation of the Dark Energy Survey (DES) internal year-one cosmology data set, Y1A1 GOLD, in support of upcoming cosmological analyses. The…
