We present a systematic search for periodic light curves in 625 spectroscopically confirmed quasars with a median redshift of 1. 8 in a 4. 6 deg$^2$ overlapping region of the Dark Energy Survey Supernova (DES-SN) fields and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Stripe 82 (SDSS-S82).

We show that the weak-lensing shear catalog, redMaGiC galaxy catalogs and redMaPPer cluster catalogs provide plausible realizations of the same catalogs in the DES Y1 data by comparing their magnitude, color and redshift distributions, angular clustering, and mass-observable relations, making them useful for testing analyses that use these samples.

When combined with supernova Ia data, we find H0 = 67. 3+/-1. 0 km/s/Mpc even for our most general dark energy model, in tension with some direct measurements.
