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…

Cosmic Pairs: A DESI Census of Dual and Offset AGN as Precursors to Massive Black Hole Binaries

Ekaterine Dadiani, Antonella Palmese, Yihao Zhou +52

We present a systematic census of dual and offset active galactic nuclei (AGN) using spectroscopic data from the first data release (DR1) of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrumen…

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…

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…

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…
