      We report the discovery of eight new ultra-faint dwarf galaxy candidates in the second year of optical imaging data from the Dark Energy Survey (DES). Six of these candidates are detected at high confidence, while two ...
    • Identification of RR lyrae stars in multiband, sparsely sampled data from the dark energy survey using template fitting and random forest classification 

      Stringer, Katelyn M.; Santiago, Basilio Xavier; DES Collaboration (2019) [Artigo de periódico]
      Many studies have shown that RR Lyrae variable stars (RRL) are powerful stellar tracers of Galactic halo structure and satellite galaxies. The Dark Energy Survey (DES), with its deep and wide coverage (g ~ 23.5 mag in a ...
