The Early Data Release of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument

Jessica Aguilar, +253 more
TL;DR: The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) completed its five-month Survey Validation in May 2019 and the intermediate data products were released in 2019 as discussed by the authors , which includes spectral data from 466,447 objects targeted as part of the Milky Way Survey, 428,758 objects from the Bright Galaxy Survey, 227,318 from the Luminous Red Galaxy sample, 437,664 from the Emission Line Galaxy sample and 76,079 from the Quasar sample.

The DESI Experiment Part I: Science,Targeting, and Survey Design

Amir Aghamousa, +293 more
TL;DR: DESI as discussed by the authors is a ground-based dark energy experiment that will study baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) and the growth of structure through redshift-space distortions with a wide-area galaxy and quasar redshift survey.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Effects of Dark Matter and Baryonic Physics on the Milky Way Subhalo Population in the Presence of the Large Magellanic Cloud

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare the signatures of dark matter and baryonic physics on subhalos in the Milky Way (MW) system with realistic LMC analogs.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Cosmic Abundance of Classical Milky Way Satellites

TL;DR: In this article, the abundance of satellites akin to the brightest, classical dwarf spheroidals around galaxies similar in magnitude and isolation to the Milky Way and M31 in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey was studied.
