Gas inflows and outflows regulate galaxy growth, but direct observational links between measured gas flows and galaxy scaling relations remain limited. Using ~6,000 star-forming ga…
Spatially-Resolved Spectra of Diffuse Galactic Light using 10.8 M DESI Sky Fibers
Andrew K. Saydjari, Bruce T. Draine, Timothy D. Brandt +49
Using 10.8 million ``blank'' sky spectra from the DESI Year 3 dataset, we measure the diffuse galactic light (DGL) spectrum in the optical at spectral resolution by c…
Systematic uncertainties on DESI Tully-Fisher distances constrained with Integral Field Spectroscopy
Utsav Siwakoti, Lluis Galbany, Kelly A. Douglass +40
The Tully--Fisher (TF) relation is an empirical tool for estimating distances to spiral galaxies. The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) Peculiar Velocity (PV) Survey uses…
Beyond traditional emission-line diagnostics: using autoencoders to uncover active galactic nuclei in DESI spectra
J. A. Alcolea, M. Siudek, M. Eriksen +49
The growing volume of spectroscopic data in modern surveys motivates data-driven approaches that complement traditional emission-line diagnostics for active galactic nuclei (AGN) i…
Weak Evolution of Cosmic Atomic Hydrogen over the Past 4.5 Billion Years
Chuan-Peng Zhang, Hong Guo, Yizhou Gu +49
The cosmic star formation rate density (CSFRD) has declined sharply toward the present day, but the roles of the atomic and molecular gas reservoirs remain uncertain. We measure th…
The largest sample of AGN outflows in dwarf galaxies using DESI DR1
V. Rodríguez Morales, M. Mezcua, Ragadeepika Pucha +40
In the last decade, the presence of active galactic nuclei (AGN) outflows and feedback in dwarf galaxies (<) has gained ground over supern…
Peering down the barrel with DESI DR2: 10 000+ inflows at < 0.6 reveal how galaxies accrete cold gas
S. Weng, A. Saintonge, M. Pieri +39
Direct observational constraints on how galaxies acquire their gas remain remarkably limited, hindering our understanding of the baryon cycle. We present a search for down-the-barr…
Joint Modeling of GD-1 and C-19 as Old Streams
Raymond G. Carlberg, Ting S. Li, Emma Jarvis +39
DESI observational data for the GD-1 and C-19 streams are compared to stream simulations in an evolving multi-halo potential of a Milky Way-like galaxy based on a cosmological Milk…
Mapping the nuclear environments of extreme coronal line emitting galaxies
Daniel Kynoch, Or Graur, Peter Clark +30
Extreme coronal line emitters (ECLEs) are a rare class of galactic nuclei exhibiting unusually strong high-ionisation forbidden emission lines, and several ECLEs have been linked t…
