DESI DR2 Results IV: Alcock-Paczyński Measurements from the Lyman Alpha Forest and Cosmological Constraints
DESI Collaboration, A. G. Adame, J. Aguilar +164
The DESI DR2 analysis measures the Alcock‑Paczynski effect using the full shape of Lyman‑α forest auto‑ and cross‑correlations, achieving 1% precision at redshift 2.33 and providin…
Cosmological constraints from the DESI DR1 Bispectrum Full-Shape and DR2 BAO
D. Forero-Sánchez, S. Novell-Masot, H. Gil-MarÃn +48
We present cosmological constraints from the combination of DESI DR1 full-shape measurements, including for the LRG bispectrum, and DESI DR2 BAO data. The joint analysis accounts f…
A Natural Telescope: Discovery of the Strongly Lensed Type II SN 2025mkn at
Cameron Lemon, Ariel Goobar, Joel Johansson +90
We present the discovery of SN 2025mkn, a gravitationally lensed Type II supernova. First detected as a blue transient in ZTF, 0.83 from a elliptical gala…
Cosmological constraints from the DESI DR1 joint power spectrum and bispectrum analysis
S. Novell-Masot, H. Gil-MarÃn, L. Verde +48
We derive cosmological parameter constraints from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) Data Release 1 (DR1) galaxy clustering data, based on a joint full-shape analysis…
Identifying Anomalous DESI Galaxy Spectra with a Variational Autoencoder
C. Nicolaou, R. P. Nathan, O. Lahav +43
The tens of millions of spectra being captured by the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) provide tremendous discovery potential. In this work we show how Machine Learning,…
The DESI Single Fiber Lens Search. I. Four Thousand Spectroscopically Selected Galaxy-Galaxy Gravitational Lens Candidates
Juliana S. M. Karp, David J. Schlegel, Xiaosheng Huang +47
We present 4,110 strong gravitational lens candidates, 3,887 of which are new discoveries, selected from a sample of 5,837,154 luminous red galaxies (LRGs) observed with the Dark E…
