Host Galaxy Identification for Supernova Surveys
Ravi R. Gupta, Steve Kuhlmann, Eve Kovacs +57
Host galaxy identification is a crucial step for modern supernova (SN) surveys such as the Dark Energy Survey (DES) and the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST), which will disco…
A Dark Energy Camera Search for Missing Supergiants in the LMC After the Advanced LIGO Gravitational Wave Event GW150914
J. Annis, M. Soares-Santos, E. Berger +104
The collapse of the core of a star is expected to produce gravitational radiation. While this process will usually produce a luminous supernova, the optical signatue could be sublu…
A Dark Energy Camera Search for an Optical Counterpart to the First Advanced LIGO Gravitational Wave Event GW150914
M. Soares-Santos, R. Kessler, E. Berger +112
We report initial results of a deep search for an optical counterpart to the gravitational wave event GW150914, the first trigger from the Advanced LIGO gravitational wave detector…
SDSS-II Supernova Survey: An Analysis of the Largest Sample of Type Ia Supernovae and Correlations with Host-Galaxy Spectral Properties
Rachel C. Wolf, Chris B. D'Andrea, Ravi R. Gupta +13
Using the largest single-survey sample of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) to date, we study the relationship between properties of SNe Ia and those of their host galaxies, focusing pri…
The Difference Imaging Pipeline for the Transient Search in the Dark Energy Survey
R. Kessler, J. Marriner, M. Childress +60
We describe the difference imaging pipeline (DiffImg) used to detect transients in deep images from the Dark Energy Survey Supernova program (DES-SN) in its first observing season…
Automated Transient Identification in the Dark Energy Survey
D. A. Goldstein, C. B. D'Andrea, J. A. Fischer +64
We describe an algorithm for identifying point-source transients and moving objects on reference-subtracted optical images containing artifacts of processing and instrumentation. T…
