We present a description of the Australian Dark Energy Survey (OzDES) and summarize the results from its 6 years of operations. Using the 2dF fibre positioner and AAOmega spectrograph on the 3.9-m Anglo-Australian Telescope, OzDES has monitored 771 active galactic nuclei, classified hundreds of supernovae, and obtained redshifts for thousands of galaxies that hosted a transient within the 10 deep fields of the Dark Energy Survey. We also present the second OzDES data release, containing the redshifts of almost 30 000 sources, some as faint as r(AB) = 24 mag, and 375 000 individual spectra. These data, in combination with the time-series photometry from the Dark Energy Survey, will be used to measure the expansion history of the Universe out to z similar to 1.2 and the masses of hundreds of black holes out to z similar to 4. OzDES is a template for future surveys that combine simultaneous monitoring of targets with wide-field imaging cameras and wide-field multi-object spectrographs.

Summary: Cosmological analyses with type Ia supernovae often overlook the varying dust properties in host galaxies, resulting in inaccurate conclusions. In this study, we use advanced modeling to characterize the dust parameters of 1100 Dark Energy Survey SN host galaxies and find that host dust has important impacts on SN cosmology, including a wide range of dust law slope R-V, lower R-V in high-stellar mass hosts compared to low-mass hosts, and a significant correlation between the Hubble diagram residuals of red SNe Ia and host R-V. These findings confirm recent predictions based on dust and provide insights into the "mass step" and intrinsic scatter in SN Ia analyses.

Summary: Gravitationally lensed supernovae are difficult to find but important for studying cosmic expansion. In this study, the DeepZipper approach, a deep learning architecture trained on simulations of lensed supernovae, was used to search for these systems in the Dark Energy Survey data. The method achieved a recall of 61.13% and a false-positive rate of 0.02% and identified three candidate lensed supernovae in the survey fields.

Summary: We present early observations and analysis of the double-peaked Type IIb supernova SN 2021zby. The inferred properties of its progenitor are consistent with a red supergiant or yellow supergiant, similar to other SNe IIb with a double-peaked feature. This study validates the importance of high cadence and early coverage in resolving the shock-cooling light curve shape, and the necessity of multiband observations to fully constrain the progenitor properties.

Varga

Summary: We present the luminosity functions and host galaxy properties of the Dark Energy Survey (DES) core-collapse supernova (CCSN) sample, consisting of 69 Type II and 50 Type Ibc spectroscopically and photometrically confirmed supernovae over a redshift range 0.045 < z < 0.25. Comparing luminosity functions, the DES and ZTF samples of SNe II are brighter than that of LOSS with significances of 3.0 sigma and 2.5 sigma, respectively. We find that the host galaxies of SNe II in DES are on average bluer than in ZTF, despite having consistent stellar mass distributions.

Summary: A detailed visual inspection of the optical spectroscopic data is crucial for the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) survey validation. This paper presents the results of the quasar survey using deep coadded SV spectra, showing that the majority of the main-survey targets are confirmed as quasars. A modified pipeline is introduced to increase the quasar yield by recovering misidentified quasars. Both the standard and modified pipelines achieve high redshift purity and demonstrate good redshift precision and accuracy.

Summary: SN 2018aoz is a Type Ia SN with unique light curves, and the nature and origin of the SN are constrained by the distribution of iron-peak elements and spectroscopic features. The possible origin and explosion mechanisms are related to the interaction between the binary companion and circumstellar material.

Modelling galaxy cluster triaxiality in stacked cluster weak lensing analyses

Zhuowen Zhang, Hao-Yi Wu, Yuanyuan Zhang, Joshua Frieman, Chun-Hao To, Joseph DeRose, Matteo Costanzi, Risa H. Wechsler, Susmita Adhikari, Eli Rykoff, Tesla Jeltema, August Evrard, Eduardo Rozo

Summary: Counts of galaxy clusters provide precise insight into cosmology, with control of systematic errors being crucial for accurate measurements. Using simulations, this study analyzes the triaxiality distribution of clusters identified by the redMaPPer algorithm, revealing a bias towards clusters aligned with the line of sight. Additionally, the study uncovers a bottleneck-shaped profile in the weak lensing shear measurement of cluster-associated dark haloes. The findings highlight the importance of triaxiality bias in cluster cosmology, but also indicate that it does not entirely resolve the tension between different probes in low-richness measurements.

Summary: We present optical and NIR observations of SN Icn 2022ann, revealing its unique characteristics such as slow outflow interaction and the presence of helium in the CSM. The spectra of SN 2022ann do not show broad features from SN ejecta. It has a low luminosity and evolves slowly, with the bolometric light curve well-modeled by SN ejecta interacting with CSM.

Summary: In the early universe, sources of ultraviolet photons played a crucial role in ionizing intergalactic hydrogen, making the universe transparent to UV radiation. Fainter galaxies that are surrounded by neutral gas were believed to dominate the photon budget. By using the James Webb Space Telescope and gravitational lensing, the ultra-faint galaxy JD1 was spectroscopically confirmed at a redshift of z = 9.79, showing a compact and complex morphology with low stellar mass and subsolar metallicity.

Massive Galaxy Clusters Like El Gordo Hint at Primordial Quantum Diffusion

Jose Maria Ezquiaga, Juan Garcia-Bellido, Vincent Vennin

Summary: It is commonly believed in the standard cosmological model that initial density perturbations follow a Gaussian distribution at all scales. However, primordial quantum diffusion inevitably leads to non-Gaussian, exponential tails in the distribution of inflationary perturbations. These exponential tails have direct implications for the formation of collapsed structures in the Universe, including the possibility of heavy clusters and large voids. Quantum diffusion increases the number of heavy clusters and reduces subhalos, an effect that cannot be accounted for by the famous fNL corrections. These late-Universe signatures could be evidence of quantum dynamics during inflation and should be considered in N-body simulations and compared with astrophysical observations.

Late-time Hubble Space Telescope Observations of AT 2018cow. II. Evolution of a UV-bright Underlying Source 2-4 Yr Post-discovery

Yuyang Chen, Maria R. Drout, Anthony L. Piro, Charles D. Kilpatrick, Ryan J. Foley, Cesar Rojas-Bravo, M. R. Magee

Summary: In this paper, the authors present a detailed analysis of three Hubble Space Telescope observations taken 2-4 years after the discovery of AT 2018cow. They found that the underlying UV-bright source showed stable optical brightness but fading in the near-UV after the fourth year. The observed spectral energy distributions can be described by an extremely hot but small blackbody, and the fading may be intrinsic or extrinsic. Based on the color and brightness, the authors ruled out significant contributions from stellar sources and dust formation. They also ruled out interaction with known radio-producing circumstellar material as a possible power source, but did not exclude the possibility of a denser circumstellar medium or a magnetar with a lower magnetic field. Finally, they suggest that a highly inclined precessing accretion disk could explain the color, brightness, and evolution of the underlying source, but further observations and theoretical works are needed to fully understand its nature.

Summary: Joint analyses of cross-correlations between galaxy measurements and lensing of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) provide powerful constraints on the large-scale structure of the Universe. In this article, we present an improved CMB lensing map in the SPT-SZ survey footprint and the analysis methodology to extract cosmological information. We find that the joint analysis of CMB lensing cross-correlations can provide constraints on the shear calibration amplitude at the 5% to 10% level.

Summary: Binary neutron star mergers and neutron star-black hole mergers can be detected through gravitational waves and electromagnetic radiation. Discovering kilonovae will provide valuable insights into element nucleosynthesis and nuclear matter. The unique features of the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope allow for the detection of gravitational wave counterparts missed by optical telescopes.
