A New Record Census of Dwarf AGN and a Bimodal - Scaling Relation with DESI DR1

Ragadeepika Pucha, S. Juneau, M. Mezcua +48

Using the first spectroscopic data release from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI DR1), we conduct the largest systematic search for active galactic nuclei (AGN) signa…

The catalog-to-cosmology framework for weak lensing and galaxy clustering for LSST

J. Prat, J. Zuntz, Y. Omori +20

We present TXPipe, a modular, automated and reproducible pipeline for ingesting catalog data and performing all the calculations required to obtain quality-assured two-point measur…

Milky Way Satellite Census. IV. Constraints on Decaying Dark Matter from Observations of Milky Way Satellite Galaxies

S. Mau, E. O. Nadler, R. H. Wechsler +66

We use a recent census of the Milky Way (MW) satellite galaxy population to constrain the lifetime of particle dark matter (DM). We consider two-body decaying dark matter (DDM) in…

A Composite Likelihood Approach for Inference under Photometric Redshift Uncertainty

M. M. Rau, C. B. Morrison, S. J. Schmidt +3

Obtaining accurately calibrated redshift distributions of photometric samples is one of the great challenges in photometric surveys like LSST, Euclid, HSC, KiDS, and DES. We presen…

Two Ultra-Faint Milky Way Stellar Systems Discovered in Early Data from the DECam Local Volume Exploration Survey

S. Mau, W. Cerny, A. B. Pace +56

We report the discovery of two ultra-faint stellar systems found in early data from the DECam Local Volume Exploration survey (DELVE). The first system, Centaurus I (DELVE J1238-40…

Eight Ultra-faint Galaxy Candidates Discovered in Year Two of the Dark Energy Survey

The DES Collaboration, A. Drlica-Wagner, K. Bechtol +74

We report the discovery of eight new ultra-faint dwarf galaxy candidates in the second year of optical imaging data from the Dark Energy Survey (DES). Six of these candidates are d…
