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,…
The Backup Program of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument's Milky Way Survey
Arjun Dey, Sergey E. Koposov, Joan R. Najita +66
The Milky Way Backup Program (MWBP), a survey currently underway with the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) on the Nicholas U. Mayall 4-m Telescope, works at the margins…
DESI Data Release 1: Stellar Catalogue
Sergey E. Koposov, Ting S. Li, C. Allende Prieto +65
In this paper we present the stellar Value-Added Catalogue (VAC) based on the DESI Data Release 1. This VAC contains stellar parameter, abundance and radial velocity measurements f…
The DESI Y1 RR Lyrae catalog II: The metallicity dependency of pulsational properties, the shape of the RR Lyrae instability strip, and metal rich RR Lyrae
Gustavo E. Medina, Ting S. Li, C. Allende Prieto +39
RR Lyrae stars (RRLs) are valuable probes of both Milky Way assembly and stellar-evolution physics. Using a sample 6,240 RRLs obtained in the first year of the Dark Energy Spectros…
The Cocytos Stream: A Disrupted Globular Cluster from our Last Major Merger?
Christian Aganze, Vedant Chandra, Risa H. Wechsler +48
The census of stellar streams and dwarf galaxies in the Milky Way provides direct constraints on galaxy formation models and the nature of dark matter. The DESI Milky Way survey --…
Data Release 1 of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument
DESI Collaboration, M. Abdul Karim, A. G. Adame +306
In 2021 May the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) collaboration began a 5-year spectroscopic redshift survey to produce a detailed map of the evolving three-dimensional s…
DESI DR2 Results I: Baryon Acoustic Oscillations from the Lyman Alpha Forest
DESI Collaboration, M. Abdul-Karim, J. Aguilar +147
We present the Baryon Acoustic Oscillation (BAO) measurements with the Lyman-alpha (LyA) forest from the second data release (DR2) of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI…
DESI DR2 Results II: Measurements of Baryon Acoustic Oscillations and Cosmological Constraints
DESI Collaboration, M. Abdul-Karim, J. Aguilar +184
We present baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) measurements from more than 14 million galaxies and quasars drawn from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) Data Release 2 (…
SpecDis: Value added distance catalogue for 4 million stars from DESI Year-1 data
Songting Li, Wenting Wang, Sergey E. Koposov +55
We present the SpecDis value added stellar distance catalog accompanying DESI DR1. SpecDis trains a feed-forward Neural Network (NN) with Gaia parallaxes and gets the distance esti…
