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…
Galaxy Populations in Massive Galaxy Clusters to z=1.1: Color Distribution, Concentration, Halo Occupation Number and Red Sequence Fraction
C. Hennig, J. J. Mohr, A. Zenteno +70
We study the galaxy populations in 74 Sunyaev Zeldovich Effect (SZE) selected clusters from the South Pole Telescope (SPT) survey that have been imaged in the science verification…
Cosmology constraints from shear peak statistics in Dark Energy Survey Science Verification data
T. Kacprzak, D. Kirk, O. Friedrich +81
Shear peak statistics has gained a lot of attention recently as a practical alternative to the two point statistics for constraining cosmological parameters. We perform a shear pea…
The redMaPPer Galaxy Cluster Catalog From DES Science Verification Data
E. S. Rykoff, E. Rozo, D. Hollowood +86
We describe updates to the \redmapper{} algorithm, a photometric red-sequence cluster finder specifically designed for large photometric surveys. The updated algorithm is applied t…
Comparing Dark Energy Survey and HST-CLASH observations of the galaxy cluster RXC J2248.7-4431: implications for stellar mass versus dark matter
A. Palmese, O. Lahav, M. Banerji +65
We derive the stellar mass fraction in the galaxy cluster RXC J2248.7-4431 observed with the Dark Energy Survey (DES) during the Science Verification period. We compare the stellar…
The Dark Energy Survey: more than dark energy - an overview
Dark Energy Survey Collaboration, T. Abbott, F. B. Abdalla +138
This overview article describes the legacy prospect and discovery potential of the Dark Energy Survey (DES) beyond cosmological studies, illustrating it with examples from the DES…
