| Abstract: |
The Dark Energy Survey (DES) is a 5000 deg2 griz imaging survey to be conducted using a proposed 3 deg2 (2.°2-diameter) wide-field mosaic camera on the CTIO Blanco 4-m telescope. The primary scientific goal of the DES is to constrain dark energy cosmological parameters via four complementary methods: galaxy cluster counting, weak lensing, galaxy angular correlations, and Type Ia supernovae, supported by precision photometric redshifts. Here we present the photometric calibration plans for the DES, including a discussion of standard stars and field-to-field calibrations. |
