Prototyping of 6.2-mm-Pitch Fiber Positioner Modules for Stage-V Telescope Instrumentation
Malak Galal, Maxime Rombach, Jonathan Wei +18
Small-pitch populated focal planes are essential enabling technologies for the next generation of highly multiplexed astronomical instruments. As modern astrophysics relies on mass…
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…
Optimizing Charge-coupled Device Readout Enabled by the Floating-Gate Amplifier
Kenneth W. Lin, Abby Bault, Armin Karcher +4
Multiple-Amplifier Sensing (MAS) charge-coupled devices (CCDs) have recently been shown to be promising silicon detectors that meet noise sensitivity requirements for next generati…
Performance of the Quasar Spectral Templates for the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument
Allyson Brodzeller, Kyle Dawson, Stephen Bailey +44
Millions of quasar spectra will be collected by the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI), leading to a four-fold increase in the number of known quasars. High accuracy quasa…
Overview of the Instrumentation for the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument
B. Abareshi, J. Aguilar, S. Ahlen +264
The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) has embarked on an ambitious five-year survey to explore the nature of dark energy with spectroscopy of 40 million galaxies and quas…
The LSST-DESC 3x2pt Tomography Optimization Challenge
Joe Zuntz, François Lanusse, Alex I. Malz +25
This paper presents the results of the Rubin Observatory Dark Energy Science Collaboration (DESC) 3x2pt tomography challenge, which served as a first step toward optimizing the tom…
