Lyman Break Galaxy selection and redshift measurement with supervised contrastive learning
J. Choppin de Janvry, C. Yèche, Arjun Dey +55
Some of the next steps for high-precision cosmology lie within the high-redshift, high-density universe. Spectroscopic survey experiments such as the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Inst…
Quiescent Host Galaxies of Extended Quasars Revealed by Spectrophotometric Decomposition
Shengxiu Sun, Linhua Jiang, Zhiwei Pan +27
Previous works of low-redshift quasar host galaxies have focused on compact quasars and found that their host galaxies are mainly star-forming galaxies. Here we present a study of…
CoLoRe-2LPT: Lyman- mock catalogues for the validation of DESI cosmological analyses
M. F. Ruiz-Herrera Bernal, S. Avila, A. Font-Ribera +90
The paper presents fast Lyman‑α forest mock catalogues generated with second‑order Lagrangian perturbation theory (2LPT) that accurately reproduce small‑scale clustering, BAO broad…
Validation of the DESI DR2 Ly forest full-shape analysis
M. Herbold, A. Cuceu, P. Martini +107
The paper validates the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) Data Release 2 analysis of the Lyman‑α forest, focusing on extracting the Alcock‑Paczynski (AP) measurement from…
DESI DR2 Results IV: Alcock-Paczyński Measurements from the Lyman Alpha Forest and Cosmological Constraints
DESI Collaboration, A. G. Adame, J. Aguilar +164
The DESI DR2 analysis measures the Alcock‑Paczynski effect using the full shape of Lyman‑α forest auto‑ and cross‑correlations, achieving 1% precision at redshift 2.33 and providin…
Cosmic Pairs: A DESI Census of Dual and Offset AGN as Precursors to Massive Black Hole Binaries
Ekaterine Dadiani, Antonella Palmese, Yihao Zhou +52
The paper presents a large, uniformly selected spectroscopic catalog of dual and offset active galactic nuclei from the first DESI data release, analyzing their host galaxy propert…
