A Hybrid R-Theta Fiber Positioning Robot Using a Piezoelectric Bender for Radial Motion
Michael Schubnell, Tim Fanning, Andrew Hope +3
Future massively multiplexed spectroscopic surveys require focal planes with increasingly dense arrays of robotic fiber positioners. The DESI (Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument)…
Identifying Anomalous DESI Galaxy Spectra with a Variational Autoencoder
C. Nicolaou, R. P. Nathan, O. Lahav +43
The tens of millions of spectra being captured by the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) provide tremendous discovery potential. In this work we show how Machine Learning,…
Using Active Learning to Improve Quasar Identification for the DESI Spectra Processing Pipeline
Dylan Green, David Kirkby, J. Aguilar +51
The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) survey uses an automatic spectral classification pipeline to classify spectra. QuasarNET is a convolutional neural network used as p…
Bayesian Component Separation for DESI LAE Automated Spectroscopic Redshifts and Photometric Targeting
Ana Sofía M. Uzsoy, Andrew K. Saydjari, Arjun Dey +37
Lyman Alpha Emitters (LAEs) are valuable high-redshift cosmological probes traditionally identified using specialized narrow-band photometric surveys. In ground-based spectroscopy,…
Validation of the DESI DR2 Ly BAO analysis using synthetic datasets
L. Casas, H. K. Herrera-Alcantar, J. Chaves-Montero +95
The second data release (DR2) of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI), containing data from the first three years of observations, doubles the number of Lyman- (Ly…
Electron-beam Calibration of Aerogel Tiles for the HELIX RICH Detector
P. Allison, M. Baiocchi, J. J. Beatty +21
The HELIX cosmic-ray detector is a balloon-borne instrument designed to measure the flux of light isotopes in the energy range from 0.2 GeV/n to beyond 3 GeV/n. It will rely on a r…
