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…
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…
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…
Chemical Abundance Analysis of Three -Poor, Metal-Poor Stars in the Ultra-Faint Dwarf Galaxy Horologium I
D. Q. Nagasawa, J. L. Marshall, J. D. Simon +68
We present chemical abundance measurements of three stars in the ultra-faint dwarf galaxy Horologium I, a Milky Way satellite discovered by the Dark Energy Survey. Using high resol…
DES15E2mlf: A Spectroscopically Confirmed Superluminous Supernova that Exploded 3.5 Gyr After the Big Bang
Y. -C. Pan, R. J. Foley, M. Smith +63
We present the Dark Energy Survey (DES) discovery of DES15E2mlf, the most distant superluminous supernova (SLSN) spectroscopically confirmed to date. The light curves and Gemini sp…
Astrometric calibration and performance of the Dark Energy Camera
G. M. Bernstein, R. Armstrong, A. A. Plazas +53
We characterize the ability of the Dark Energy Camera (DECam) to perform relative astrometry across its 500~Mpix, 3 deg^2 science field of view, and across 4 years of operation. Th…
