Improved constraints on the Milky Way potential using the M68 stream and DESI spectroscopic data
Carles G. Palau, Wenting Wang, Jiaxin Han +41
We present a selection of stars belonging to the stellar stream of the M68 (NGC 4590) globular cluster, also known as Fjörm. This star selection is an improvement on previous ones…
A Hybrid R-Theta Fiber Positioning Robot Using a Piezoelectric Bender for Radial Motion
Michael Schubnell, Tim Fanning, Andrew Hope +3
Future massively multiplexed spectroscopic surveys require focal planes with increasingly dense arrays of robotic fiber positioners. The DESI (Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument)…
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…
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…
Stacked Reverberation Mapping of High Redshift Quasars in DESI. I. Feasibility Analysis
Rahma Alfarsy, R. E. A. Canning, Eva-Maria Mueller +49
The broad line region of quasars has long been probed by reverberation mapping techniques that measure time lags between continuum and broad emission line variations. Stacked rever…
Alleviating prior dependencies for DESI DR1 clustering fits through reparameterization
Marco Bonici, Simone Paradiso, Glenn McGee +48
Bayesian analyses of the full-shape clustering of Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) Data Release 1 (DR1) exhibit prior-volume projection effects, whereby weakly constrain…
