Observing Strategy for the Legacy Surveys
Kaylan J. Burleigh, Martin Landriau, Arjun Dey +19
The Legacy Surveys, a combination of three ground-based imaging surveys, have mapped 16,000 deg in three optical bands (, , and ) to a depth 1--~mag deeper than the…
The Extremely Luminous Quasar Survey in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey footprint. III. The South Galactic Cap Sample and the Quasar Luminosity Function at Cosmic Noon
Jan-Torge Schindler, Xiaohui Fan, Ian D. McGreer +11
We have designed the Extremely Luminous Quasar Survey (ELQS) to provide a highly complete census of unobscured UV-bright quasars during the cosmic noon, . Here we report…
The Extremely Luminous Quasar Survey (ELQS) in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey footprint. II. The North Galactic Cap Sample
Jan-Torge Schindler, Xiaohui Fan, Ian D. McGreer +10
We present the North Galactic Cap sample of the Extremely Luminous Quasar Survey (ELQS-N), which targets quasars with at in an area of $\sim7600\,\r…
Overview of the DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys
Arjun Dey, David J. Schlegel, Dustin Lang +157
The DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys are a combination of three public projects (the Dark Energy Camera Legacy Survey, the Beijing-Arizona Sky Survey, and the Mayall z-band Legacy Surve…
Analyzing Baryon Acoustic Oscillations in Sparse Spectroscopic Samples via Cross-Correlation with Dense Photometry
Anna Patej, Daniel J. Eisenstein
We develop a formalism for measuring the cosmological distance scale from baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) using the cross-correlation of a sparse redshift survey with a denser p…
The DESI Experiment Part II: Instrument Design
DESI Collaboration, Amir Aghamousa, Jessica Aguilar +290
DESI (Dark Energy Spectropic Instrument) is a Stage IV ground-based dark energy experiment that will study baryon acoustic oscillations and the growth of structure through redshift…
The DESI Experiment Part I: Science,Targeting, and Survey Design
DESI Collaboration, Amir Aghamousa, Jessica Aguilar +290
DESI (Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument) is a Stage IV ground-based dark energy experiment that will study baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) and the growth of structure through…
Detectability of Local Group Dwarf Galaxy Analogues at High Redshifts
Anna Patej, Abraham Loeb
The dwarf galaxies of the Local Group are believed to be similar to the most abundant galaxies during the epoch of reionization (z>6). As a result of their proximity, there is a we…
Quantifying the Colour-Dependent Stochasticity of Large-Scale Structure
Anna Patej, Daniel Eisenstein
We address the question of whether massive red and blue galaxies trace the same large-scale structure at z~0.6 using the CMASS sample of galaxies from Data Release 12 of the Sloan…
Density Jumps Near the Virial Radius of Galaxy Clusters
Anna Patej, Abraham Loeb
Recent simulations have indicated that the dark matter halos of galaxy clusters should feature steep density jumps near the virial radius. Since the member galaxies are expected to…
A Simple Physical Model for the Gas Distribution in Galaxy Clusters
Anna Patej, Abraham Loeb
The dominant baryonic component of galaxy clusters is hot gas whose distribution is commonly probed through X-ray emission arising from thermal bremsstrahlung. The density profile…
