Linking neutral gas inflows and outflows to offsets in the star-forming main sequence and mass-metallicity relation

S. Weng, M. Pieri, A. Saintonge +40

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…

1000 cataclysmic variables identified from DESI spectroscopy

K. Inight, B. T. Gänsicke, A. Aungwerojwit +41

Most cataclysmic variables (CVs) are discovered when they have an outburst generating an inherent selection bias against CVs that rarely, or never, outburst. CVs discovered by virt…

First planetesimals from DESI DR1: 12 highly metal-rich white dwarfs

Paula Izquierdo, Andrew Swan, Boris T. Gänsicke +43

Metal-enriched white dwarfs provide a unique insight into the composition of exoplanet interiors. These stars accrete the debris of disrupted planetary bodies, and hence, measuring…
