The fiducial cosmological analyses of imaging surveys like DES typically probe the Universe at redshifts z < 1. We present the selection and characterization of high-redshift galaxy samples using DES Year 3 data, and the analysis of their galaxy clustering measurements. In particular, we use galaxies that are fainter than those used in the previous

We measure the [α/Fe] abundances for 183 quiescent galaxies at z = 0.60-0.75 with stellar masses ranging 10.4 ≤ log 10(M */M ⊙) ≤ 11.6 selected from the Large Early Galaxy Astrophysics Census survey. We estimate [α/Fe] from the ratio of the spectral indices Mgb (λ ~ 5177 Å) and Fe4383, compared to predictions of simple stellar population models. We

Reliable tools to extract patterns from high-dimensionality spaces are becoming more necessary as astronomical data sets increase both in volume and complexity. Contrastive Learning is a self-supervised machine learning algorithm that extracts informative measurements from multidimensional data sets, which has become increasingly popular in the

We computed the evidence in favour of two models, one based on field-aligned thermal conduction alone and another that includes thermal misbalance as well, to explain the damping of slow magneto-acoustic waves in hot coronal loops. Our analysis is based on the computation of the marginal likelihood and the Bayes factor for the two damping models

We present new maps of the Milky Way disk showing the distribution of metallicity ([Fe/H]), α-element abundances ([Mg/Fe]), and stellar age, using a sample of 66,496 red giant stars from the final data release (DR17) of the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment survey. We measure radial and vertical gradients, quantify the

We utilize a novel numerical technique to model star formation in cosmological simulations of galaxy formation - called SUPERSTARS - to simulate a Milky Way-like galaxy with ≳10 8 star particles to study the formation and evolution of out-of-equilibrium stellar disc structures in a full cosmological setting. In the plane defined by the coordinate
