Testing the theory of gravity with DESI: estimators, predictions and simulation requirements

Shadab Alam, Christian Arnold, Alejandro Aviles +33

Shortly after its discovery, General Relativity (GR) was applied to predict the behavior of our Universe on the largest scales, and later became the foundation of modern cosmology.…

Preliminary Target Selection for the DESI Bright Galaxy Survey (BGS)

Omar Ruiz-Macias, Pauline Zarrouk, Shaun Cole +28

The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) will execute a nearly magnitude-limited survey of low redshift galaxies (, median ). Clustering…

Baryon Acoustic Oscillations in the projected cross-correlation function between the eBOSS DR16 quasars and photometric galaxies from the DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys

Pauline Zarrouk, Mehdi Rezaie, Anand Raichoor +19

We search for the Baryon Acoustic Oscillations in the projected cross-correlation function binned into transverse comoving radius between the SDSS-IV DR16 eBOSS quasars and a dense…

Characterising the target selection pipeline for the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument Bright Galaxy Survey

Omar Ruiz-Macias, Pauline Zarrouk, Shaun Cole +18

We present the steps taken to produce a reliable and complete input galaxy catalogue for the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) Bright Galaxy Survey (BGS) using the photom…

The Completed SDSS-IV Extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: N-body Mock Challenge for the Quasar Sample

Alex Smith, Etienne Burtin, Jiamin Hou +17

The growth rate and expansion history of the Universe can be measured from large galaxy redshift surveys using the Alcock-Paczynski effect. We validate the Redshift Space Distortio…
