Unraveling emission line galaxy conformity at z~1 with DESI early data

Sihan Yuan, Risa H. Wechsler, Yunchong Wang +32

Emission line galaxies (ELGs) are now the preeminent tracers of large-scale structure at z>0.8 due to their high density and strong emission lines, which enable accurate redshift m…
