The Dark Energy Survey and Operations: Years 1 to 3

Conference Diehl, H. - Proc.SPIE Int.Soc.Opt.Eng.

The Dark Energy Survey (DES) is an operating optical survey aimed at understanding the accelerating expansion of the universe using four complementary methods: weak gravitational lensing, galaxy cluster counts, baryon acoustic oscillations, and Type Ia supernovae. To perform the 5000 sq-degree wide field and 30 sq-degree supernova surveys, the DES Collaboration built the Dark Energy Camera (DECam), a 3 square-degree, 570-Megapixel CCD camera that was installed at the prime focus of the Blanco 4-meter telescope at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO). DES has completed its third observing season out of a nominal five. This paper describes DES “Year 1”more »« less

Preliminary cosmological constraints from the Dark Energy Survey Supernova Program using the 3 year Spectroscopic Sample

Conference Moller, A.

The Dark Energy Survey (DES) is using four probes to investigate the dynamics of the expansion of the Universe. The DES Supernova Program (DES-SN) is observing 27 square degrees with a 6-day cadence to obtain a large sample of type Ia supernovae for cosmology. In collaboration with DES, the Australian Dark Energy Survey (OzDES) is using the AAT to obtain redshifts and classications for objects in the DES elds. While probing dark energy using type Ia supernovae is the primary aim of the supernova survey, the observing strategy enables us to conduct a number of other investigations, such as AGNmore »« less

Dark Energy Survey Year 1 Results: Cross-correlation between Dark Energy Survey Y1 galaxy weak lensing and South Pole Telescope $+ P l a n c k$ CMB weak lensing

Journal Article Omori, Y.; Baxter, E.; Chang, C.; ... - Physical Review D

We cross-correlate galaxy weak lensing measurements from the Dark Energy Survey (DES) year-one data with a cosmic microwave background (CMB) weak lensing map derived from South Pole Telescope (SPT) and Planck data, with an effective overlapping area of 1289-deg². With the combined measurements from four source galaxy redshift bins, we obtain a detection significance of 5.8σ. We fit the amplitude of the correlation functions while fixing the cosmological parameters to a fiducial ΛCDM model, finding A=0.99±0.17. We also use the correlation function measurements to constrain shear calibration bias, obtaining constraints that are consistent with previous DES analyses. Lastly, when performingmore »« less

Dark Energy Survey Year 1 Results: Tomographic cross-correlations between Dark Energy Survey galaxies and CMB lensing from South Pole $Telescope + Planck$

Journal Article Omori, Y.; Giannantonio, T.; Porredon, A.; ... - Physical Review D

We analyze the cross-correlation between redMaGiC galaxies selected from the Dark Energy Survey (DES) year 1 data and gravitational lensing of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) reconstructed from South Pole Telescope (SPT) and Planck data over 1289 deg². When combining measurements across multiple galaxy redshift bins spanning the redshift range of 0.15 < z < 0.90, we reject the hypothesis of no correlation at 19.9σ significance. When removing small-scale data points where thermal Sunyaev-Zel’dovich signal and nonlinear galaxy bias could potentially bias our results, the detection significance is reduced to 9.9σ. We perform a joint analysis of galaxy-CMB lensing cross-correlationsmore »« less
