Tomographer: End-to-end Redshift Distribution Estimation for Source Catalogs and Intensity Maps

Yi-Kuan Chiang, Yu Voon Ng, Yu-Ren Lin +2

Redshift information is central to nearly every extragalactic and cosmological application of sky surveys, yet only a small fraction of cataloged sources, and none of the photons f…

CIBER galaxy cross-correlations reveal a bright, low-redshift NIR background

Richard M. Feder, Grigory Heaton, James J. Bock +7

We perform the first tomographic analysis of near-IR extragalactic background light (EBL) anisotropies, cross-correlating CIBER 1.1 and 1.8 m imager data with photometric galaxy…

SPHEREx Wide-Field Infrared Spectral Mapping of Interstellar Ices and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons

Joseph L. Hora, Jinyoung K. Noh, Gary J. Melnick +32

We present some of the first infrared spectral maps acquired by SPHEREx. These maps, which to our knowledge are the largest of their type ever compiled in the near-infrared, reveal…

SPHEREx mapping of diffuse PAH and H II emission in the Galactic plane

Giulia Murgia, Ari J. Cukierman, Brandon S. Hensley +29

We present preliminary SPHEREx maps of diffuse Galactic emission tracing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and ionized hydrogen gas, and we study their relationship across th…

The Potential of the SPHEREx Mission for Characterizing Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon 3.3 μm Emission in Nearby Galaxies

Edward Zhang, Andreas L. Faisst, Brendan Crill +18

Together with gas, stars, and supermassive black holes, dust is crucial in stellar and galaxy evolution. Hence, understanding galaxies' dust properties across cosmic time is critic…
