Probing Baryons with the Kinematic Sunyae Zel'dovich Effect and Machine Learning Derived Peculiar Velocities using DESI DR2 and ACT DR6

Yulin Gong, Rachel Bean, Patricio A. Gallardo +54

We present novel empirical constraints on average optical depths and gas density profiles from combining kinematic Sunyaev Zel'dovich effect (kSZ) measurements and nonlinear peculi…

Field-level inference of growth rate from DESI BGS galaxy and ZTF supernova simulations

Corentin Ravoux, Bastien Carreres, Julian Bautista +60

Galaxy peculiar velocities are a powerful probe of the growth rate of structure at low redshifts (), measured through the combination . These constraints are imp…

Intrinsic Tidal Shear at the Largest Scales: Galaxy Multiplet Alignment in DESI DR2

C. Lamman, J. Aguilar, S. Ahlen +45

We measure the intrinsic alignment (IA) of galaxy multiplets with the large-scale tidal field traced by galaxy positions in DESI Data Release 2. Using the BGS, LRG, and ELG samples…

Optical Depths from the Thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect with ACT DR6 and DESI DR1 Spectroscopic Galaxies and Optically-Selected Clusters

J. E. Moore, C. Popik, Y. Gong +66

We present stacked thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (tSZ) effect measurements for three samples of galaxy groups and clusters: those traced by the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument Da…

A Unified Tracer Analysis of DESI DR2 Baryon Acoustic Oscillations

N. Sanders, H. Seo, M. Rashkovetskyi +65

We improve upon previous efforts to optimally combine overlapping galaxy samples in the DESI baryon acoustic oscillation analysis. By weighting each galaxy by its linear bias, over…

Lyman Break Galaxy selection and redshift measurement with supervised contrastive learning

J. Choppin de Janvry, C. Yèche, Arjun Dey +55

Some of the next steps for high-precision cosmology lie within the high-redshift, high-density universe. Spectroscopic survey experiments such as the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Inst…
