Detection of metal absorption lines in quasar spectra: a neural network approach using U-Net

Elena Sofia Mangola, Francesco Pistis, Michele Fumagalli +7

Current and future large spectroscopic surveys are significantly enhancing the volume and resolution of quasar spectra that are observed, which requires the creation of efficient a…

Forecast for the detectability of patchy hydrogen reionization in WEAVE-QSO measurements of the Lyman- forest power spectrum at redshift

Ke Ma, James S. Bolton, Vid Iršič +9

We present the first detailed forecasts for the detectability of patchy hydrogen reionization in the one-dimensional Ly forest power spectrum to be measured by the WEAVE-QSO sur…

The WEAVE-TwiLight-Survey: Expanding WEAVE's Reach to Bright and Low-Surface-Density Targets with a Novel Observing Mode

Thomas Hajnik, Nicholas A. Walton, Giuseppe D'Ago +28

Current-day multi-object spectroscopic surveys are often limited in their ability to observe bright stars due to their low surface densities, resulting in increased observational o…
