Journal Article
Hahn, C., Wilson, M. J., Ruiz-Macias, O., Cole, S., Weinberg, D. H., Moustakas, J., …Zou, H. (2023). The DESI Bright Galaxy Survey: Final Target Selection, Design, and Validation. Astronomical Journal, 165(6), Article 253. https://doi.org/10.3847/1538-3881/accff8

Over the next 5 yr, the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) will use 10 spectrographs with 5000 fibers on the 4 m Mayall Telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory to conduct the first Stage IV dark energy galaxy survey. At z < 0.6, the DESI... Read More about The DESI Bright Galaxy Survey: Final Target Selection, Design, and Validation.

We present the steps taken to produce a reliable and complete input galaxy catalogue for the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) Bright Galaxy Survey (BGS) using the photometric Legacy Survey DR8 DECam. We analyse some of the main issues face... Read More about Characterizing the target selection pipeline for the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument Bright Galaxy Survey.
