We present the second public data release of the Dark Energy Survey, DES DR2, based on optical/near-infrared imaging by the Dark Energy Camera mounted on the 4-m Blanco telescope at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile. DES DR2 consists of reduced single-epoch and coadded images, a source catalog derived from coadded images, and associated data products assembled from 6 years of DES science operations. This release includes data from the DES wide-area survey covering ~5000 deg2 of the southern Galactic cap in five broad photometric bands, grizY. DES DR2 has a median delivered point-spread function full-width at half maximum of g= 1.11, r= 0.95, i= 0.88, z= 0.83, and Y= 0.90 arcsec photometric uniformity with a standard deviation of < 3 mmag with respect to Gaia DR2 G-band, a photometric accuracy of ~10 mmag, and a median internal astrometric precision of ~27 mas. The median coadded catalog depth for a 1.95 arcsec diameter aperture at S/N= 10 is g= 24.7, r= 24.4, i= 23.8, z= 23.1 and Y= 21.7 mag. DES DR2 includes ~691 million distinct astronomical objects detected in 10,169 coadded image tiles of size 0.534 deg2 produced from 76,217 single-epoch images. After a basic quality selection, benchmark galaxy and stellar samples contain 543 million and 145 million objects, respectively. These data are accessible through several interfaces, including interactive image visualization tools, web-based query clients, image cutout servers and Jupyter notebooks. DES DR2 constitutes the largest photometric data set to date at the achieved depth and photometric precision.

  1. Constraints on Dynamical Dark Energy from Multiple Probes in the Full Dark Energy Survey

    astro-ph.CO 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Full DES data from SN+BAO+3x2pt yields w0=-0.84, wa=-0.44 with 2.2σ deviation from ΛCDM; adding DESI+CMB reaches 3.0σ while 3x2pt improves figure of merit by ~10%.

  2. Multi-wavelength Constraints on the Transient EP250905a

    astro-ph.HE 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0

    EP250905a is best explained as a mildly off-axis structured-jet afterglow at z=2.714, possibly weakly magnified by a foreground galaxy at z=0.374.

  3. Infrared-enhanced Photometric Redshifts for the Dark Energy Survey Y6 Gold catalogue

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 accept novelty 4.0

    DES+WISE W1/W2 photometry significantly reduces photo-z scatter, bias and outliers versus optical-only DES, while VHS adds only marginal gains at z<1.5.

  4. Galaxy and halo angular clustering in LCDM and Modified Gravity cosmologies

    astro-ph.CO 2022-04 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    N-body light-cone mocks show 2-4 sigma deviations in third-order angular clustering between LCDM and f(R)/nDGP models at z=0.15-0.3 for halos and galaxies, with stronger signals in the dark-matter field.
