Journal ArticleDOI

The dark energy camera

B. Flaugher, +121 more
TL;DR: The Dark Energy Camera as mentioned in this paper was designed and constructed by the Dark Energy Survey Collaboration, and meets or exceeds the stringent requirements designed for the wide-field and supernova surveys for which the collaboration uses it.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cosmology constraints from shear peak statistics in Dark Energy Survey Science Verification data

T. Kacprzak, +100 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a shear peak statistics analysis of the Dark Energy Survey (DES) Science Verification (SV) data, using weak gravitational lensing measurements from a 139 deg² field, was performed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cosmic voids and void lensing in the Dark Energy Survey Science Verification data

C. Sánchez, +85 more
TL;DR: In this article, a new void finder for photometric surveys was proposed by projecting galaxies into 2D slices and finding voids in the smoothed 2D galaxy density field of the slice Fixing the line-of-sight size of the slices to be at least twice the photo-z scatter, the number of voids found in these projected slices of simulated spectroscopic and photometric galaxy catalogs is within 20% for all transverse void sizes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mass and galaxy distributions of four massive galaxy clusters from Dark Energy Survey Science Verification data

Peter Melchior, +102 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the weak-lensing masses and galaxy distributions of four massive galaxy clusters observed during the Science Verification phase of the Dark Energy Survey were measured using DECam.
Journal ArticleDOI

Joint measurement of lensing–galaxy correlations using SPT and DES SV data

Eric J. Baxter, +90 more
TL;DR: In this article, the correlation of galaxy lensing and cosmic microwave background lensing with a set of galaxies expected to trace the matter density field was measured using pre-survey Dark Energy Survey (DES) Science Verification optical imaging data and millimetre-wave data from the 2500 sq. deg. South Pole Telescope Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SPT-SZ) survey.
