Backlighting extended gas halos around luminous red galaxies: kinematic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect from DESI Y1 x ACT

Bernardita Ried Guachalla, Emmanuel Schaan, Boryana Hadzhiyska +58

The gas density profile around galaxies, shaped by feedback and affecting the galaxy lensing signal, is imprinted on the cosmic microwave background (CMB) by the kinematic Sunyaev-…

The first identification of Lyman Changing-look Quasars at high-redshift in DESI

Wei-Jian Guo, Zhiwei Pan, Małgorzata Siudek +38

We present two cases of Ly changing-look (CL) quasars (J1306 and J1512) along with two additional candidates (J1511 and J1602), all discovered serendipitously at through…

Emission Line Predictions for Mock Galaxy Catalogues: a New Differentiable and Empirical Mapping from DESI

Ashod Khederlarian, Jeffrey A. Newman, Brett H. Andrews +43

We present a simple, differentiable method for predicting emission line strengths from rest-frame optical continua using an empirically-determined mapping. Extensive work has been…

A striking relationship between dust extinction and radio detection in DESI QSOs: evidence for a dusty blow-out phase in red QSOs

V. A. Fawcett, D. M. Alexander, A. Brodzeller +39

We present the first eight months of data from our secondary target program within the ongoing Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) survey. Our program uses a mid-infrared a…

The DESI One-Percent survey: constructing galaxy-halo connections for ELGs and LRGs using auto and cross correlations

Hongyu Gao, Y. P. Jing, Shanquan Gui +31

In the current Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) survey, emission line galaxies (ELGs) and luminous red galaxies (LRGs) are essential for mapping the dark matter distribu…

Changing-look Active Galactic Nuclei from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument. I.Sample from the Early Data

Wei-Jian Guo, Hu Zou, Victoria Anne Fawcett +34

Changing-look Active Galactic Nuclei (CL AGN) can be generally confirmed by the emergence (turn-on) or disappearance (turn-off) of broad emission lines, associated with a transient…
