Dark Energy Survey year 1 results: Cosmological constraints from galaxy clustering and weak lensing

T. M. C. Abbott, +199 more
- 27 Aug 2018 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the cosmological results from a combined analysis of galaxy clustering and weak gravitational lensing, using 1321 deg2 of griz imaging data from the first year of the Dark Energy Survey (DES Y1), were presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Electromagnetic counterparts of compact object mergers powered by the radioactive decay of r‐process nuclei

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the first calculations of the optical transients from compact object mergers that self-consistently determine the radioactive heating by means of a nuclear reaction network; using this heating rate, they model the light curve with a one-dimensional Monte Carlo radiation transfer calculation.
Journal ArticleDOI

The zwicky transient facility: System overview, performance, and first results

Eric C. Bellm, +121 more
TL;DR: The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) as mentioned in this paper is a new optical time-domain survey that uses the Palomar 48 inch Schmidt telescope, which provides a 47 deg^2 field of view and 8 s readout time, yielding more than an order of magnitude improvement in survey speed relative to its predecessor survey.

The DESI Experiment Part I: Science,Targeting, and Survey Design

Amir Aghamousa, +291 more
TL;DR: DESI as discussed by the authors is a ground-based dark energy experiment that will study baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) and the growth of structure through redshift-space distortions with a wide-area galaxy and quasar redshift survey.
