DESI DR2 Galaxy Luminosity Functions

Samuel G. Moore, Shaun Cole, Michael Wilson +54

We present galaxy luminosity functions (LFs) for the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) DR2 Bright Galaxy Survey (BGS) in the g,r,z, and w1 bands over 0.002<z<0.6. Our ana…

Luminosity and stellar mass functions of faint photometric satellites around spectroscopic central galaxies from DESI Year-1 Bright Galaxy Survey

Wenting Wang, Xiaohu Yang, Yipeng Jing +47

We measure the luminosity functions (LFs) and stellar mass functions (SMFs) of photometric satellite galaxies around spectroscopically identified isolated central galaxies (ICGs).…

A New Measure of Assembly Bias using the Environment Dependence of the Luminosity Function

Yikun Wang, Idit Zehavi, Sergio Contreras +2

Assembly bias is the variation in the clustering of dark matter halos and galaxies that arises from correlations between the halo assembly history and the large-scale environment a…

DESI Mg II Absorbers: Extinction Characteristics & Quasar Redshift Accuracy

Lucas Napolitano, Adam D. Myers, Vicky Fawcett +32

In this paper, we study how absorption-line systems affect the spectra and redshifts of quasars (QSOs), using catalogs of Mg II absorbers from the early data release (EDR) and firs…

DESI Emission Line Galaxies: Unveiling the Diversity of [OII] Profiles and its Links to Star Formation and Morphology

Ting-Wen Lan, J. Xavier Prochaska, John Moustakas +34

We study the [OII] profiles of emission line galaxies (ELGs) from the Early Data Release of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI). To this end, we decompose and classify…

Exploring the interaction between the MW and LMC with a large sample of blue horizontal branch stars from the DESI survey

Amanda Byström, Sergey E. Koposov, Sophia Lilleengen +42

The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is a Milky Way (MW) satellite that is massive enough to gravitationally attract the MW disc and inner halo, causing significant motion of the inner…

The DESI One-Percent Survey: A concise model for galactic conformity of ELGs

Hongyu Gao, Y. P. Jing, Kun Xu +27

Galactic conformity is the phenomenon in which a galaxy of a certain physical property is correlated with its neighbors of the same property, implying a possible causal relationshi…
