Tracing the Cosmic Evolution of the Cool Circumgalactic Medium of Luminous Red Galaxies with DESI Year 1 Data
Yu-Ling Chang, Ting-Wen Lan, J. Xavier Prochaska +44
We investigate the properties of the cool circumgalactic medium (CGM) of massive galaxies and their cosmic evolution. By using the year 1 dataset of luminous red galaxies (LRGs) an…
The DESI DR1 Peculiar Velocity Survey: Mock Catalog
J. Bautista, A. J. Amsellem, V. Aronica +59
We describe the production of the official set of mock catalogs for the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument Peculiar Velocity Survey (DESI-PV) Data Release 1 (DR1). Our mock catal…
The DESI DR1 Peculiar Velocity Survey: The Tully-Fisher Distance Catalog
K. Douglass, S. BenZvi, A. G. Kim +64
We calibrate the Tully-Fisher relation (TFR) using observations of spiral galaxies taken during the first year (DR1) of the DESI galaxy redshift survey. The rotational velocities o…
Constraining the Stellar-to-Halo Mass Relation with Galaxy Clustering and Weak Lensing from DES Year 3 Data
G. Zacharegkas, C. Chang, J. Prat +100
We develop a framework to study the relation between the stellar mass of a galaxy and the total mass of its host dark matter halo using galaxy clustering and galaxy-galaxy lensing…
Model-Independent Measurement of the Matter-Radiation Equality Scale in DESI 2024
B. Bahr-Kalus, D. Parkinson, K. Lodha +52
The peak of the matter power spectrum, known as the turnover (TO) scale, is determined by the horizon size at the time of matter-radiation equality. This scale can serve as a stand…
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…
