TL;DR: In this paper, the discovery of a stellar stream in the Dark Energy Survey (DES) Year 1 (Y1A1) data was made through simple color-magnitude filters and visual inspection of the Y 1A1 data.
Journal ArticleDOI

J. Nordin,Linda Ostman,Ariel Goobar,Christophe Balland,Christophe Balland,H. Lampeitl,Robert C. Nichol,M. Sako,Donald P. Schneider,M. Smith,Jesper Sollerman,John C Wheeler +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the pseudo equivalent width of the Siii �4000 feature of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) in the redshift range 0.0024 � z � 0.634 was studied.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present strong evidence for the existence of a supercluster at a redshift of z = 054 in the direction of Selected Area 68 (SA68) from the distribution of galaxies with spectroscopic redshifts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photometric Supernova Cosmology with BEAMS and SDSS-II
Renée Hlozek,Martin Kunz,Bruce A. Bassett,M. Smith,James Newling,Melvin Varughese,Richard Kessler,Joe Bernstein,Heather Campbell,Ben Dilday,Bridget Falck,Joshua A. Frieman,Steve Kulhmann,Hubert Lampeitl,John Marriner,Robert C. Nichol,Adam G. Riess,Masao Sako,Donald P. Schneider +18 more
TL;DR: The Bayesian Estimation applied to multiple species (BEAMS) algorithm as mentioned in this paper is a Bayesian framework for using data from multiple species in statistical inference when one has the probability that each data point belongs to a given species, corresponding in this context to different types of supernovae with their probabilities derived from their multi-band lightcurves.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the measurements of the redshift-space three-point correlation function (3PCF) for z similar to 0.5 luminous red galaxies of the CMASS sample in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey Data Release 11.
