Dark Energy Survey Year 1 Results: Galaxy Sample for BAO Measurement

M. Crocce, A. J. Ross, I. Sevilla-Noarbe +84

We define and characterise a sample of 1.3 million galaxies extracted from the first year of Dark Energy Survey data, optimised to measure Baryon Acoustic Oscillations in the prese…

Dark Energy Survey Year 1 Results: Cross-Correlation Redshifts in the DES -- Calibration of the Weak Lensing Source Redshift Distributions

C. Davis, M. Gatti, P. Vielzeuf +81

We present the calibration of the Dark Energy Survey Year 1 (DES Y1) weak lensing source galaxy redshift distributions from clustering measurements. By cross-correlating the positi…
