    Abstract

    The Dark Energy Survey (DES) is using four probes to investigate the dynamics of the expansion of the Universe. The DES Supernova Program (DES-SN) is observing 27 square degrees with a 6-day cadence to obtain a large sample of type Ia supernovae for cosmology. In collaboration with DES, the Australian Dark Energy Survey (OzDES) is using the AAT to obtain redshifts and classifications for objects in the DES fields. While probing dark energy using type Ia supernovae is the primary aim of the supernova survey, the observing strategy enables us to conduct a number of other investigations, such as AGN reverberation mapping and galactic evolution studies. We present preliminary cosmological constraints from the first 3-years of the DES-SN survey. The sample contains 206 spectroscopically confirmed Type Ia Supernovae (0.02 < z < 0.9) discovered during the first 3 years of the DES-SN. The photometric calibration, scene modeling photometric pipeline, additional low-z supernovae samples (z < 0.1), as well as the cosmological results and systematics analysis are discussed.
