Imaging Systematics and Clustering of DESI Main Targets

Ellie Kitanidis, Martin White, Yu Feng +10

We evaluate the impact of imaging systematics on the clustering of luminous red galaxies (LRG), emission-line galaxies (ELG) and quasars (QSO) targeted for the upcoming Dark Energy…

A 100-kiloparsec wind feeding the circumgalactic medium of a massive compact galaxy

David S. N. Rupke, Alison Coil, James E. Geach +9

Ninety per cent of baryons are located outside galaxies, either in the circumgalactic or intergalactic medium. Theory points to galactic winds as the primary source of the enriched…

Variations in the width, density, and direction of the Palomar 5 tidal tails

Ana Bonaca, Sarah Pearson, Adrian M. Price-Whelan +8

Stars that escape globular clusters form tidal tails that are predominantly shaped by the global distribution of mass in the Galaxy, but also preserve a historical record of small-…

Astro2020 APC White Paper: The MegaMapper: a z > 2 spectroscopic instrument for the study of Inflation and Dark Energy

David J. Schlegel, Juna A. Kollmeier, Greg Aldering +74

MegaMapper is a proposed ground-based experiment to measure Inflation parameters and Dark Energy from galaxy redshifts at 2<z<5. A 6.5-m Magellan telescope will be coupled with DES…

Finding Strong Gravitational Lenses in the DESI DECam Legacy Survey

X. Huang, M. Domingo, A. Pilon +17

We perform a semi-automated search for strong gravitational lensing systems in the 9,000 deg Dark Energy Camera Legacy Survey (DECaLS), part of the DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys…

The time delay between star formation quenching and morphological transformation of galaxies in clusters: a phase-space view of EDisCS

Kshitija Kelkar, Meghan E. Gray, Alfonso Aragón-Salamanca +5

We explore the possible effect of cluster environments on the structure and star formation histories of galaxies by analysing the projected phase-space (PPS) of intermediate-redshi…
