TL;DR: In this paper, weak lensing shear catalogues for 139 square degrees of data taken during the Science Verification (SV) time for the new Dark Energy Camera (DECam) being used for the Dark Energy Survey (DES).
Journal ArticleDOI
Six Balmer-dominated supernova remnants
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the spectrum of six Balmer-dominated SNRs and derived a shock velocity for each SNR with broad H-alpha and a possible lower limit of the shock velocity in 0509-67.5.
