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…
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…
Data Release 1 of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument
DESI Collaboration, M. Abdul Karim, A. G. Adame +306
In 2021 May the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) collaboration began a 5-year spectroscopic redshift survey to produce a detailed map of the evolving three-dimensional s…
SpecDis: Value added distance catalogue for 4 million stars from DESI Year-1 data
Songting Li, Wenting Wang, Sergey E. Koposov +55
We present the SpecDis value added stellar distance catalog accompanying DESI DR1. SpecDis trains a feed-forward Neural Network (NN) with Gaia parallaxes and gets the distance esti…
