Validation of the DESI DR2 Ly forest full-shape analysis
M. Herbold, A. Cuceu, P. Martini +107
The paper validates the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) Data Release 2 analysis of the Lyman‑α forest, focusing on extracting the Alcock‑Paczynski (AP) measurement from…
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…
1000 cataclysmic variables identified from DESI spectroscopy
K. Inight, B. T. Gänsicke, A. Aungwerojwit +41
Most cataclysmic variables (CVs) are discovered when they have an outburst generating an inherent selection bias against CVs that rarely, or never, outburst. CVs discovered by virt…
Probing the matter-dominated expansion with multi-redshift Lyman- BAO from DESI DR2
Hiram K. Herrera-Alcantar, Julien Guy, Alma X. Gonzalez-Morales +60
We present a multi-redshift Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) analysis of the DESI Data Release 2 (DR2) Lyman- (Ly) forest, splitting the forest auto-correlation and its c…
First planetesimals from DESI DR1: 12 highly metal-rich white dwarfs
Paula Izquierdo, Andrew Swan, Boris T. Gänsicke +43
The paper analyzes 12 highly metal‑rich white dwarfs from DESI DR1, measuring their photospheric metal abundances to infer the bulk composition of the accreted planetary debris, wh…
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…
