Searching for Strong Gravitational Lenses

Frédéric Courbin, Cameron Alexander Campbell Lemon

Strong gravitational lenses provide unique laboratories for cosmological and astrophysical investigations, but they must first be discovered - a task that can be met with significant contamination by other astrophysical objects and asterisms. Here we revie ...

The effect of pressure-anisotropy-driven kinetic instabilities on magnetic field amplification in galaxy clusters

Jennifer Waltraud Schober, Yoan Rappaz

Context. The intracluster medium (ICM) is the low-density diffuse gas that fills the space between galaxies within galaxy clusters. It is primarily composed of magnetized plasma, which reaches virial temperatures of up to 10(8) K, probably due to mergers o ...

The DESI Survey Validation: Results from Visual Inspection of Bright Galaxies, Luminous Red Galaxies, and Emission-line Galaxies

Stewart Cole, Jiaxi Yu, Yi Zhang, Anand Stéphane Raichoor, Arjun Dey

The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) Survey has obtained a set of spectroscopic measurements of galaxies to validate the final survey design and target selections. To assist in these tasks, we visually inspect DESI spectra of approximately 2500 ...

Performance of the Quasar Spectral Templates for the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument

Jiaxi Yu, Zheng Zheng

Millions of quasar spectra will be collected by the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI), leading to a fourfold increase in the number of known quasars. High-accuracy quasar classification is essential to tighten constraints on cosmological paramete ...

GOGREEN: A critical assessment of environmental trends in cosmological hydrodynamical simulations at z approximate to 1

Pascale Jablonka, Hung-Hsu Chan

Recent observations have shown that the environmental quenching of galaxies at z & SIM; 1 is qualitatively different to that in the local Universe. However, the physical origin of these differences has not yet been elucidated. In addition, while low-redshi ...

Euclid: Calibrating photometric redshifts with spectroscopic cross-correlations

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Yi Wang, Richard Massey

Cosmological constraints from key probes of the Euclid imaging survey rely critically on the accurate determination of the true redshift distributions, n(z); of tomographic redshift bins. We determine whether the mean redshift, < z >, of ten Euclid tomogra ...

New constraints on the mass of fermionic dark matter from dwarf spheroidal galaxies

Alexey Boyarsky, Diego Blas Temino, Kyrylo Bondarenko

Dwarf spheroidal galaxies are excellent systems to probe the nature of fermionic dark matter due to their high observed dark matter phase-space density. In this work, we review, revise, and improve upon previous phase-space considerations to obtain lower b ...
