Weak lensing magnification in the Dark Energy Survey Science Verification Data
M. Garcia-Fernandez, E. Sánchez, I. Sevilla-Noarbe +68
In this paper the effect of weak lensing magnification on galaxy number counts is studied by cross-correlating the positions of two galaxy samples, separated by redshift, using dat…
A Search for Kilonovae in the Dark Energy Survey
Z. Doctor, R. Kessler, H. Y. Chen +68
The coalescence of a binary neutron star (BNS) pair is expected to produce gravitational waves (GW) and electromagnetic (EM) radiation, both of which may be detectable with current…
Farthest Neighbor: The Distant Milky Way Satellite Eridanus II
T. S. Li, J. D. Simon, A. Drlica-Wagner +56
We present Magellan/IMACS spectroscopy of the recently-discovered Milky Way satellite Eridanus II (Eri II). We identify 28 member stars in Eri II, from which we measure a systemic…
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…
Simultaneous Constraints on Cosmology and Photometric Redshift Bias from Weak Lensing and Galaxy Clustering
S Samuroff, MA Troxel, SL Bridle +5
We investigate the expected cosmological constraints from a combination of weak lensing and large-scale galaxy clustering using realistic redshift distributions. Introducing a syst…
Looking through the same lens: shear calibration for LSST, Euclid & WFIRST with stage 4 CMB lensing
Emmanuel Schaan, Elisabeth Krause, Tim Eifler +4
The next generation weak lensing surveys (i.e., LSST, Euclid and WFIRST) will require exquisite control over systematic effects. In this paper, we address shear calibration and pre…
