Abstract

The DES (Flaugher 2005, Int. J. Mod. Phys. A, 20, 3121) is an international collaboration with a primary aim to study cosmic acceleration, and thereby constrain the nature of the mysterious dark energy that drives it. DES constructed the highly sensitive Dark Energy Camera (DECam, Flaugher et al. 2015), which has a 3deg2 field of view and is mounted on the 4m Victor M. Blanco telescope at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO) in Chile. For providing the camera, the DES collaboration was awarded 105 nights a year for 5yr, starting from August 2013. DES recently concluded its fifth observing year in February 2018. The DES main survey observes a wide area of about 5000deg2 (roughly 1/8 of the sky), and at the conclusion of its fourth year of observations DES has visited each 3deg2 field within this footprint at least six times.
