Parity-odd Four-Point Correlation Function from DESI Data Release 1 Luminous Red Galaxy Sample

J. Hou, R. N. Cahn, J. Aguilar +33

The parity-odd four-point function provides a unique probe of fundamental symmetries and potential new physics in the large-scale structure of the Universe. We present measurements…

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…

Constraining GREA, an alternative theory accounting for the present cosmic acceleration

R. Calderon, J. Garcia-Bellido, B. Vos-Gines +34

The origin of the Universe's late-time accelerated expansion remains unknown. The General Relativistic Entropic Acceleration (GREA) theory offers a compelling alternative to CDM…

Beyond Traditional Diagnostics: Identifying Active Galactic Nuclei with Spectral Energy Distribution Fitting in DESI Data

M. Siudek, M. Mezcua, C. Circosta +36

Active galactic nuclei (AGN) are typically identified through their distinctive X-ray or radio emissions, mid-infrared (MIR) colors, or emission lines. However, each method capture…
