TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify, characterize, and mitigate the impact of sources of systematic uncertainty on large-scale clustering measurements, both for angular moments of the redshift-space correlation function and the spherically averaged power spectrum, in order to ensure that robust cosmological constraints will be obtained from these data.

TL;DR: In this article, the first 3 years of multiband optical imaging data from the Dark Energy Survey (DES) were used to perform a search for stellar streams around the Milky Way using a matched filter in color-magnitude space derived from a synthetic isochrone of an old, metal-poor stellar population.
