4MOST Cosmology Redshift Survey (CRS): Clustering Properties of CRS Bright Galaxy and Luminous Red Galaxy Target Catalogues
Behnood Bandi, Antoine Rocher, Aurélien Verdier +6
The 4-metre Multi-Object Spectroscopic Telescope Cosmology Redshift Survey (4MOST CRS) will obtain 5.4 million spectroscopic redshifts over ~5700 deg^2 to map large-scale structure…
An innovative alternative to traditional funding streams for extragalactic astronomy
Stephen M. Wilkins, Jack Turner, Connor Sant Fournier +2
With traditional sources of funding for astronomical research under increasing pressure, it is timely to explore innovative alternative mechanisms. We therefore introduce GalaxyCoi…
Wide Area VISTA Extragalactic Survey (WAVES): Selection of targets for the Wide survey using decision-tree classification
G. Kaur, M. Bilicki, S. Bellstedt +11
The Wide-Area VISTA Extragalactic Survey (WAVES) on the 4-metre Multi-Object Spectroscopic Telescope (4MOST) includes two flux-limited subsurveys with very high (95\%) completeness…
The 4MOST-Cosmology Redshift Survey: Target Selection of Bright Galaxies and Luminous Red Galaxies
Aurelien Verdier, Antoine Rocher, Behnood Bandi +7
The Cosmology Redshift Survey of the 4-metre Multi-Object Spectroscopic Telescope (4MOST-CRS) will provide redshift measurements of galaxies and quasars over 5700{\degsq} in the so…
Wide Area VISTA Extra-galactic Survey (WAVES): Unsupervised star-galaxy separation on the WAVES-Wide photometric input catalogue using UMAP and
Todd L. Cook, Behnood Bandi, Sam Philipsborn +13
Star-galaxy separation is a crucial step in creating target catalogues for extragalactic spectroscopic surveys. A classifier biased towards inclusivity risks including spurious sta…
