The DESI Y1 RR Lyrae catalog I: Empirical modeling of the cyclic variation of spectroscopic properties and a chemodynamical analysis of the outer halo
Gustavo E. Medina, Ting S. Li, Sergey E. Koposov +44
We present the catalog of RR Lyrae stars (RRLs) observed in the first year of operations of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) survey. This catalog contains 6,240 RRLs…
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…
Deep Spectroscopy with DESI for Photometric Redshift Training and Calibration
Biprateep Dey, Jeffrey A. Newman, Tianqing Zhang +62
Deep spectroscopic samples can be used to improve photometric redshift (photo-) estimates and reduce uncertainties on redshift distributions. Such improvements can increase the…
Validation of the DESI-DR1 3x2-pt analysis: scale cut and shear ratio tests
N. Emas, A. Porredon, C. Blake +54
Combined survey analyses of galaxy clustering and weak gravitational lensing (3x2-pt studies) will allow new and accurate tests of the standard cosmological model. However, careful…
DELVE Milky Way Satellite Galaxy Census I: Satellite Population and Survey Selection Function in DES, DELVE, and Pan-STARRS
C. Y. Tan, A. Drlica-Wagner, A. B. Pace +84
The properties of Milky Way satellite galaxies have important implications for galaxy formation, reionization, and the fundamental physics of dark matter. However, the population o…
Data Release 1 of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument
DESI Collaboration, M. Abdul Karim, A. G. Adame +306
In 2021 May the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) collaboration began a 5-year spectroscopic redshift survey to produce a detailed map of the evolving three-dimensional s…
