This overview paper describes the legacy prospect and discovery potential of Dark Energy Survey (DES) beyond cosmological studies, illustrating it with examples from DES early data.DES is using a wide-field camera (DECam) on 4 m Blanco Telescope in Chile to image 5000 sq deg sky five filters (grizY).
We report the results of a Dark Energy Camera (DECam) optical follow-up gravitational wave (GW) event GW151226, discovered by Advanced LIGO detectors. Our observations cover 28.8 deg$^2$ localization region in $i$ and $z$ bands (containing 3% BAYESTAR probability), starting 10 hours after was announced spanning four epochs at $2-24$ days GW detection. achieve $5\sigma$ point-source limiting magnitudes $i\approx21.7$ $z\approx21.5$, with scatter $0.4$ mag, our difference images. Given two day...
