Spatially-Resolved Spectra of Diffuse Galactic Light using 10.8 M DESI Sky Fibers

Andrew K. Saydjari, Bruce T. Draine, Timothy D. Brandt +49

Using 10.8 million ``blank'' sky spectra from the DESI Year 3 dataset, we measure the diffuse galactic light (DGL) spectrum in the optical at spectral resolution by c…

Luminosity function of quasars at from SDSS and DESI

Gaocheng Yin, Linhua Jiang, Zhiwei Pan +54

We present a study of the evolution of type 1 quasars at , covering the peak epoch of quasar activity. The quasar evolution has been extensively explored by a variety of…

Signatures of a Tidally Induced Spiral Arm at the Anticenter of the Milky Way and a Kinematically Extended Anticenter Stream Using DESI DR2

Mika Lambert, Constance M. Rockosi, Sergey E. Koposov +46

Using the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument Milky Way Survey (DESI MWS), we examine the 6D space of the anticenter region of the stellar disk (150 Galactic longitude…

The Composite Spectrum of QSO Absorption Line Systems in DESI DR2

Lucas Napolitano, Adam D. Myers, Adam Tedeschi +43

We present details regarding a composite spectrum of quasar (QSO) absorption line systems. In this composite spectrum we identify more than 70 absorption lines, and observe oxygen…

Quasars acting as Strong Lenses Found in DESI DR1

Everett McArthur, Martin Millon, Meredith Powell +52

Quasars acting as strong gravitational lenses offer a rare opportunity to probe the redshift evolution of scaling relations between supermassive black holes and their host galaxies…

The dark matter content of Milky Way dwarf spheroidal galaxies: Draco, Sextans and Ursa Minor

Hao Yang, Wenting Wang, Ling Zhu +50

The Milky Way Survey of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) has so far observed three classical dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs): Draco, Sextans and Ursa Minor. Based…
