The DESI Transients Survey: Legacy Classifications and Methodology
Xander J. Hall, Antonella Palmese, Segev BenZvi +56
We present the first systematic spectroscopic observations of extragalactic transients from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI), as part of the DESI Transients Survey p…
The Power of DESI for Photometric Redshift Calibration: A Case Study with KiDS-1000
Diana Blanco, Alexie Leauthaud, Johannes Ulf Lange +64
Accurate redshift estimates are a critical requirement for weak lensing surveys and one of the main uncertainties in constraints on dark energy and large-scale cosmic structure. In…
Enhancing Multiplet Alignment Measurements with Imaging
Alexus Annika Kumwembe, Claire Lamman, Daniel Eisenstein +35
We demonstrate that measurements of the gravitational tidal field made with spectroscopic redshifts can be improved with information from imaging surveys. The average orientation o…
A Unified Photometric Redshift Calibration for Weak Lensing Surveys using the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument
Johannes U. Lange, Diana Blanco, Alexie Leauthaud +61
The effective redshift distribution of galaxies is a critical component in the study of weak gravitational lensing. Here, we introduce a new method for determining fo…
The Compilation and Validation of the Spectroscopic Redshift Catalogs for the DESI-COSMOS and DESI-XMMLSS Fields
J. Ratajczak, K. S. Dawson, N. Weaverdyck +74
Over several dedicated programs that include targets beyond the main cosmological samples, the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) collected spectra for 304,970 unique obje…
Cosmological neutrino mass: a frequentist overview in light of DESI
D. Chebat, C. Yèche, E. Armengaud +51
We derive constraints on the neutrino mass using a variety of recent cosmological datasets, including DESI BAO, the full-shape analysis of the DESI matter power spectrum and the on…
