Direct Measurement of Galaxy Assembly Bias using DESI DR1 Data

Zhiwei Shao, Ying Zu, Andrés N. Salcedo +54

We report the first direct measurement of galaxy assembly bias, a critical systematic in cosmology, from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) Bright Galaxy Survey. We in…

Emulating galaxy and peculiar velocity clustering on non-linear scales

T. Dumerchat, J. Bautista, C. Ravoux +37

We explore the potential of cross-correlating galaxies and peculiar velocities on non-linear scales to enhance cosmological constraints. Leveraging the \textsc{AbacusSummit} simula…

Tracing the Cosmic Evolution of the Cool Circumgalactic Medium of Luminous Red Galaxies with DESI Year 1 Data

Yu-Ling Chang, Ting-Wen Lan, J. Xavier Prochaska +44

We investigate the properties of the cool circumgalactic medium (CGM) of massive galaxies and their cosmic evolution. By using the year 1 dataset of luminous red galaxies (LRGs) an…

Validation of the DESI 2024 Lyman Alpha Forest BAL Masking Strategy

Paul Martini, A. Cuceu, L. Ennesser +44

Broad absorption line quasars (BALs) exhibit blueshifted absorption relative to a number of their prominent broad emission features. These absorption features can contribute to qua…

Weak Evolution of Cosmic Atomic Hydrogen over the Past 4.5 Billion Years

Chuan-Peng Zhang, Hong Guo, Yizhou Gu +49

The cosmic star formation rate density (CSFRD) has declined sharply toward the present day, but the roles of the atomic and molecular gas reservoirs remain uncertain. We measure th…
