The LSST-DESC 3x2pt Tomography Optimization Challenge
Joe Zuntz, François Lanusse, Alex I. Malz +25
This paper presents the results of the Rubin Observatory Dark Energy Science Collaboration (DESC) 3x2pt tomography challenge, which served as a first step toward optimizing the tom…

An information-based metric for observing strategy optimization, demonstrated in the context of photometric redshifts with applications to cosmology
Alex I. Malz, François Lanusse, John Franklin Crenshaw +1
The observing strategy of a galaxy survey influences the degree to which its resulting data can be used to accomplish any science goal. LSST is thus seeking metrics of observing st…

How not to obtain the redshift distribution from probabilistic redshift estimates: Under what conditions is it not inappropriate to estimate the redshift distribution N(z) by stacking photo-z PDFs?
Alex I. Malz
The scientific impact of current and upcoming photometric galaxy surveys is contingent on our ability to obtain redshift estimates for large numbers of faint galaxies. In the absen…
