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 Reference Mocks: Clustering results from UCHUU ELGs and QSOs
R. Vaisakh, J. Lasker, R. Kehoe +44
High-redshift galaxy clustering provides a powerful probe of the growth of structure, testing models of dark matter, dark energy, and galaxy formation during the epoch when the Uni…
Constraining primordial non-Gaussianity from DESI DR1 quasars and Planck PR4 CMB Lensing
Sofia Chiarenza, Alex Krolewski, Marco Bonici +54
We present the first measurement of local-type primordial non-Gaussianity from the cross-correlation between million spectroscopically confirmed quasars from the first data r…
Measurements of the Thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect with ACT and DESI Luminous Red Galaxies
R. Henry Liu, Simone Ferraro, Emmanuel Schaan +54
Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) photons scatter off the free-electron gas in galaxies and clusters, allowing us to use the CMB as a backlight to probe the gas in and around low-r…
The DESI Transients Survey: Legacy Classifications and Methodology
Xander J. Hall, Antonella Palmese, Segev BenZvi +56
We present the first systematic spectroscopic observations of extragalactic transients from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI), as part of the DESI Transients Survey p…
A Unified Photometric Redshift Calibration for Weak Lensing Surveys using the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument
Johannes U. Lange, Diana Blanco, Alexie Leauthaud +61
The effective redshift distribution of galaxies is a critical component in the study of weak gravitational lensing. Here, we introduce a new method for determining fo…
