Luminosity function of quasars at from SDSS and DESI
Gaocheng Yin, Linhua Jiang, Zhiwei Pan +54
We present a study of the evolution of type 1 quasars at , covering the peak epoch of quasar activity. The quasar evolution has been extensively explored by a variety of…
Beyond traditional emission-line diagnostics: using autoencoders to uncover active galactic nuclei in DESI spectra
J. A. Alcolea, M. Siudek, M. Eriksen +49
The growing volume of spectroscopic data in modern surveys motivates data-driven approaches that complement traditional emission-line diagnostics for active galactic nuclei (AGN) i…
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…
Highly Efficient Selection of High-Redshift Emission-Line Galaxies for future DESI-like surveys with Deep Multi-band Imaging
Yoquelbin Salcedo Hernandez, Jeffrey A. Newman, Brett. H. Andrews +53
Emission-line galaxies (ELGs) are an important tracer of baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) and large-scale structure (LSS) at . In this work, we investigate the feasibility…
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…
Measurements of quasar proximity zones with the Ly forest of DESI Y1 quasars
Ryuichiro Hada, Paul Martini, David H. Weinberg +41
The intergalactic medium (IGM) around quasars is shaped by their dense environments and by their excess ionizing radiation, forming a "quasar proximity zone" whose size and anisotr…
Effect of local environment on Ly line profile in DESI/ODIN LAEs
Ana Sofía M. Uzsoy, Arjun Dey, Anand Raichoor +51
Lyman-Alpha Emitters (LAEs) are star-forming galaxies with significant Ly emission and are often used as tracers of large-scale structure at high redshift. We explore the relati…
Quasars acting as Strong Lenses Found in DESI DR1
Everett McArthur, Martin Millon, Meredith Powell +52
Quasars acting as strong gravitational lenses offer a rare opportunity to probe the redshift evolution of scaling relations between supermassive black holes and their host galaxies…
DESI DR2 Galaxy Luminosity Functions
Samuel G. Moore, Shaun Cole, Michael Wilson +54
We present galaxy luminosity functions (LFs) for the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) DR2 Bright Galaxy Survey (BGS) in the g,r,z, and w1 bands over 0.002<z<0.6. Our ana…
ODIN: The LAE Lyα Luminosity Function over Cosmic Time and Environmental Density
Gautam Nagaraj, Robin Ciardullo, Caryl Gronwall +53
The ubiquity and relative ease of discovery make Ly emitting galaxies (LAEs) ideal tracers for cosmology. In addition, because Ly is a resonance line,…
The DESI Survey Validation: Results from Visual Inspection of the Quasar Survey Spectra
David M. Alexander, Tamara M. Davis, E. Chaussidon +69
A key component of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) survey validation (SV) is a detailed visual inspection (VI) of the optical spectroscopic data to quantify key sur…
Deep Learning of DESI Mock Spectra to Find Damped Lyα Systems
Ben Wang, Jiaqi Zou, Zheng Cai +14
We have updated and applied a convolutional neural network (CNN) machine learning model to discover and characterize damped Ly systems (DLAs) based on Dark Energy Spectroscopic…
