Dark Energy Survey Year 1 Results: Tomographic cross-correlations between Dark Energy Survey galaxies and CMB lensing from South Pole Telescope plus Planck

Eduardo Sanchez, Jonathan Andrew Blazek

We measure the cross-correlation between REDMAGIC galaxies selected from the Dark Energy Survey (DES) year 1 data and gravitational lensing of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) reconstructed from South Pole Telescope (SPT) and Planck data over 1289 deg ...

Dark Energy Survey Year 1 results: constraints on intrinsic alignments and their colour dependence from galaxy clustering and weak lensing

Eduardo Sanchez, Jonathan Andrew Blazek

We perform a joint analysis of intrinsic alignments and cosmology using tomographic weak lensing, galaxy clustering, and galaxy-galaxy lensing measurements from Year 1 (Y1) of the Dark Energy Survey. We define early- and late-type subsamples, which are fou ...

Joint analysis of Dark Energy Survey Year 3 data and CMB lensing from SPT and Planck. I. Construction of CMB lensing maps and modeling choices

Jonathan Andrew Blazek

Joint analyses of cross-correlations between measurements of galaxy positions, galaxy lensing, and lensing of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) offer powerful constraints on the large-scale structure of the Universe. In a forthcoming analysis, we will ...

Probing gravity with the DES-CMASS sample and BOSS spectroscopy

Eduardo Sanchez, Jonathan Andrew Blazek

The DES-CMASS sample (DMASS) is designed to optimally combine the weak lensing measurements from the Dark Energy Survey (DES) and redshift-space distortions (RSD) probed by the CMASS galaxy sample from the Baryonic Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey. In this ...

Dark Energy Survey Year 3 results: Cosmology from cosmic shear and robustness to modeling uncertainty

Jonathan Andrew Blazek

This work and its companion paper, Amon et al. [Phys. Rev. D 105, 023514 (2022)], present cosmic shear measurements and cosmological constraints from over 100 million source galaxies in the Darki Energy Survey (DES) Year 3 data. We constrain the lensing am ...

Dark Energy Survey Year 1 results: Methodology and projections for joint analysis of galaxy clustering, galaxy lensing, and CMB lensing two-point functions

Eduardo Sanchez, César Octavio Domínguez Sánchez De La Blanca, Craig Matthew Smith, Augusto Martins Lima, Jonathan Andrew Blazek

Optical imaging surveys measure both the galaxy density and the gravitational lensing-induced shear fields across the sky. Recently, the Dark Energy Survey (DES) Collaboration used a joint fit to two-point correlations between these observables to place ti ...

Dark Energy Survey Year 3 results: Cosmological constraints from galaxy clustering and galaxy-galaxy lensing using the MAGLIM lens sample

Jonathan Andrew Blazek

The cosmological information extracted from photometric surveys is most robust when multiple probes of the large scale structure of the Universe are used. Two of the most sensitive probes are the clustering of galaxies and the tangential shear of backgroun ...

Cosmological constraints from the convergence 1-point probability distribution

Jonathan Andrew Blazek

We examine the cosmological information available from the 1-point probability density function (PDF) of the weak-lensing convergence field, utilizing fast L-PICOLA simulations and a Fisher analysis. We find competitive constraints in the Omega(m)-sigma(8) ...

Controlling and leveraging small-scale information in tomographic galaxy-galaxy lensing

Jonathan Andrew Blazek

The tangential shear signal receives contributions from physical scales in the galaxy-matter correlation function well below the transverse scale at which it is measured. Since small scales are difficult to model, this non-locality has generally required s ...

Perturbation theory for modeling galaxy bias: Validation with simulations of the Dark Energy Survey

Jonathan Andrew Blazek

We describe perturbation theory (PT) models of galaxy bias for applications to photometric galaxy surveys. We model the galaxy-galaxy and galaxy-matter correlation functions in configuration space and validate against measurements from mock catalogs design ...

Dark Energy Survey Year 1 Results: Cosmological Constraints from Cluster Abundances, Weak Lensing, and Galaxy Correlations

Jonathan Andrew Blazek

We present the first joint analysis of cluster abundances and auto or cross-correlations of three cosmic tracer fields: galaxy density, weak gravitational lensing shear, and cluster density split by optical richness. From a joint analysis (4 x 2pt + N) of ...

Detecting galaxy-filament alignments in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III

Jonathan Andrew Blazek

Previous studies have shown the filamentary structures in the cosmic web influence the alignments of nearby galaxies. We study this effect in the LOWZ sample of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey using the 'Cosmic Web Reconstruction' filament catalogue. We find ...

Dark Energy Survey Year 3 results: galaxy clustering and systematics treatment for lens galaxy samples

Jonathan Andrew Blazek

In this work, we present the galaxy clustering measurements of the two DES lens galaxy samples: a magnitude-limited sample optimized for the measurement of cosmological parameters, MAGLIM, and a sample of luminous red galaxies selected with the REDMAGIC al ...

Dark energy survey year 3 results: cosmological constraints from the analysis of cosmic shear in harmonic space

Jonathan Andrew Blazek

We present cosmological constraints from the analysis of angular power spectra of cosmic shear maps based on data from the first three years of observations by the Dark Energy Survey (DES Y3). Our measurements are based on the pseudo-Ct method and compleme ...

Constraining the baryonic feedback with cosmic shear using the DES Year-3 small-scale measurements

Eduardo Sanchez, Binglun Yin, Yi Zhang, Jonathan Andrew Blazek

We use the small scales of the Dark Energy Survey (DES) Year-3 cosmic shear measurements, which are excluded from the DES Year-3 cosmological analysis, to constrain the baryonic feedback. To model the baryonic feedback, we adopt a baryonic correction model ...

Assessing tension metrics with dark energy survey and Planck data

Eduardo Sanchez, Jonathan Andrew Blazek

Quantifying tensions - inconsistencies amongst measurements of cosmological parameters by different experiments - has emerged as a crucial part of modern cosmological data analysis. Statistically significant tensions between two experiments or cosmological ...
