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…
