Luminosity function of quasars at from SDSS and DESI
Gaocheng Yin, Linhua Jiang, Zhiwei Pan +54
We present a study of the evolution of type 1 quasars at , covering the peak epoch of quasar activity. The quasar evolution has been extensively explored by a variety of…
Quiescent Host Galaxies of Extended Quasars Revealed by Spectrophotometric Decomposition
Shengxiu Sun, Linhua Jiang, Zhiwei Pan +27
Previous works of low-redshift quasar host galaxies have focused on compact quasars and found that their host galaxies are mainly star-forming galaxies. Here we present a study of…
Stacked Reverberation Mapping of High Redshift Quasars in DESI. I. Feasibility Analysis
Rahma Alfarsy, R. E. A. Canning, Eva-Maria Mueller +49
The broad line region of quasars has long been probed by reverberation mapping techniques that measure time lags between continuum and broad emission line variations. Stacked rever…
First planetesimals from DESI DR1: 12 highly metal-rich white dwarfs
Paula Izquierdo, Andrew Swan, Boris T. Gänsicke +43
The paper analyzes 12 highly metal‑rich white dwarfs from DESI DR1, measuring their photospheric metal abundances to infer the bulk composition of the accreted planetary debris, wh…
Alleviating prior dependencies for DESI DR1 clustering fits through reparameterization
Marco Bonici, Simone Paradiso, Glenn McGee +48
Bayesian analyses of the full-shape clustering of Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) Data Release 1 (DR1) exhibit prior-volume projection effects, whereby weakly constrain…
Alcock-Paczynski Blinding Scheme for the Ly- Forest Analysis
G. Perez-Sanchez, S. F. Beltran, G. Niz +45
We present and validate a blinding method for the Lyman- (Ly) forest analysis based on a modification of the Alcock-Paczynski test. In order to hide the background expansio…
