On the halo-mass and radial scale dependence of the lensing is low effect

Johannes U. Lange, Alexie Leauthaud, Sukhdeep Singh +4

The canonical CDM cosmological model makes precise predictions for the clustering and lensing properties of galaxies. It has been shown that the lensing amplitude of galaxies in…

Preliminary Target Selection for the DESI Luminous Red Galaxy (LRG) Sample

Rongpu Zhou, Jeffrey A. Newman, Kyle S. Dawson +23

The DESI survey will observe more than 8 million candidate luminous red galaxies (LRGs) in the redshift range . Here we present a preliminary version of the DESI LRG tar…

Preliminary Target Selection for the DESI Emission Line Galaxy (ELG) Sample

Anand Raichoor, Daniel J. Eisenstein, Tanveer Karim +26

DESI will precisely constrain cosmic expansion and the growth of structure by collecting 35 million redshifts across 80% of cosmic history and one third of the sky to s…

Preliminary Target Selection for the DESI Quasar (QSO) Sample

Christophe Yèche, Nathalie Palanque-Delabrouille, Charles-Antoine Claveau +24

The DESI survey will measure large-scale structure using quasars as direct tracers of dark matter in the redshift range and using quasar Ly- forests at . We p…

Kilonova Luminosity Function Constraints based on Zwicky Transient Facility Searches for 13 Neutron Star Mergers

Mansi M. Kasliwal, Shreya Anand, Tomas Ahumada +100

We present a systematic search for optical counterparts to 13 gravitational wave (GW) triggers involving at least one neutron star during LIGO/Virgo's third observing run. We searc…

The clustering of LRGs in the DECaLS DR8 footprint: distance constraints from baryon acoustic oscillations using photometric redshifts

Srivatsan Sridhar, Yong-Seon Song, Ashley J. Ross +7

A photometric redshift sample of Luminous Red Galaxies (hereafter LRGs) obtained from The DECam Legacy Survey (DECaLS) is analysed to probe cosmic distances by exploiting the wedge…

The Clustering of DESI-like Luminous Red Galaxies Using Photometric Redshifts

Rongpu Zhou, Jeffrey A. Newman, Yao-Yuan Mao +11

We present measurements of the redshift-dependent clustering of a DESI-like luminous red galaxy (LRG) sample selected from the Legacy Survey imaging dataset, and use the halo occup…

Evaluation of probabilistic photometric redshift estimation approaches for The Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST)

S. J. Schmidt, A. I. Malz, J. Y. H. Soo +24

Many scientific investigations of photometric galaxy surveys require redshift estimates, whose uncertainty properties are best encapsulated by photometric redshift (photo-z) poster…
