Redshift distributions of galaxies in the DES Science Verification shear catalogue and implications for weak lensing

C. Bonnett, M. A. Troxel, W. Hartley +104

We present photometric redshift estimates for galaxies used in the weak lensing analysis of the Dark Energy Survey Science Verification (DES SV) data. Four model- or machine learni…

Mapping and simulating systematics due to spatially-varying observing conditions in DES Science Verification data

B. Leistedt, H. V. Peiris, F. Elsner +92

Spatially-varying depth and characteristics of observing conditions, such as seeing, airmass, or sky background, are major sources of systematic uncertainties in modern galaxy surv…

redMaGiC: Selecting Luminous Red Galaxies from the DES Science Verification Data

E. Rozo, E. S. Rykoff, A. Abate +84

We introduce redMaGiC, an automated algorithm for selecting Luminous Red Galaxies (LRGs). The algorithm was specifically developed to minimize photometric redshift uncertainties in…
