Title: Dark Energy Survey: Overview and spectroscopic follow-up requirements
Date: Wednesday, November 16th, 2011
Time: 15:00
Venue: Villa Bazzoni

Abstract: The Dark Energy Survey (DES) will be a 5000 sq. degree survey that's scheduled to begin in the Summer of 2012. I will give an overview of the survey characteristics, and the different science techniques that will be used to constrain the nature of Dark Energy. I will also comment on the requirements on spectroscopic follow-up for calibrating the survey.
