ODIN: Spectroscopic Validation of Ly-Emitting Galaxy Samples with DESI

Ethan Pinarski, Govind Ramgopal, Nicole Firestone +65

The One-hundred-deg^2 DECam Imaging in Narrowbands (ODIN) survey is conducting the widest-field deep narrow-band imaging of the equatorial and southern skies. ODIN uses three custo…

ODIN: Confirmation and 3D Reconstruction of Six Massive Protoclusters at Cosmic Noon

Ashley Ortiz, Vandana Ramakrishnan, Kyoung-Soo Lee +64

Protoclusters represent sites of accelerated galaxy formation and extreme astrophysical activity characteristic of dense environments. Identifying massive protoclusters and mapping…

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…

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-…

A Comprehensive Characterization of Galaxy-cool CGM Connections at with DESI Year 1 Data

Yu Voon Ng, Ting-Wen Lan, J. Xavier Prochaska +41

We investigate the relationships between the cool circumgalactic medium (CGM), traced by Ca II absorption lines, and galaxy properties at using galaxy-quasa…

Iron-corrected Single-epoch Black Hole Masses of DESI Quasars at low redshift

Zhiwei Pan, Linhua Jiang, Wei-Jian Guo +31

We present a study on the possible overestimation of single-epoch supermassive black hole (SMBH) masses in previous works, based on more than 55,000 type 1 quasars at $0.25 < z < 0…

DESI Mg II Absorbers: Extinction Characteristics & Quasar Redshift Accuracy

Lucas Napolitano, Adam D. Myers, Vicky Fawcett +32

In this paper, we study how absorption-line systems affect the spectra and redshifts of quasars (QSOs), using catalogs of Mg II absorbers from the early data release (EDR) and firs…

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…

Stellar reddening map from DESI imaging and spectroscopy

Rongpu Zhou, Julien Guy, Sergey E. Koposov +54

We present new Galactic dust reddening maps of the high Galactic latitude sky using DESI imaging and spectroscopy. We directly measure the reddening of 2.6 million stars by compari…

CircleZ: Reliable Photometric redshifts for AGN computed using only photometry from Legacy Survey Imaging for DESI

A. Saxena, M. Salvato, W. Roster +25

(abridged)Photometric redshifts for AGN (galaxies hosting an accreting supermassive black hole in their center) are notoriously challenging and currently better computed via SED fi…

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…
