NANCY: Next-generation All-sky Near-infrared Community surveY
Jiwon Jesse Han, Arjun Dey, Adrian M. Price-Whelan +206
The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is capable of delivering an unprecedented all-sky, high-spatial resolution, multi-epoch infrared map to the astronomical community. This oppor…
The MegaMapper: A Stage-5 Spectroscopic Instrument Concept for the Study of Inflation and Dark Energy
David J. Schlegel, Juna A. Kollmeier, Greg Aldering +86
In this white paper, we present the MegaMapper concept. The MegaMapper is a proposed ground-based experiment to measure Inflation parameters and Dark Energy from galaxy redshifts a…
The Dark Energy Survey Data Release 2
DES Collaboration, T. M. C. Abbott, M. Adamow +132
We present the second public data release of the Dark Energy Survey, DES DR2, based on optical/near-infrared imaging by the Dark Energy Camera mounted on the 4-m Blanco telescope a…
Approximating photo- PDFs for large surveys
A. I. Malz, P. J. Marshall, S. J. Schmidt +3
Modern galaxy surveys produce redshift probability density functions (PDFs) in addition to traditional photometric redshift (photo-) point estimates. However, the storage of pho…
DESCQA: An Automated Validation Framework for Synthetic Sky Catalogs
Yao-Yuan Mao, Eve Kovacs, Katrin Heitmann +24
The use of high-quality simulated sky catalogs is essential for the success of cosmological surveys. The catalogs have diverse applications, such as investigating signatures of fun…
Real-Time Recovery Efficiencies and Performance of the Palomar Transient Factory's Transient Discovery Pipeline
C. Frohmaier, M. Sullivan, P. E. Nugent +2
We present the transient source detection efficiencies of the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF), parameterizing the number of transients that PTF found, versus the number of similar…
