The Compilation and Validation of the Spectroscopic Redshift Catalogs for the DESI-COSMOS and DESI-XMM-LSS Fields

Over several dedicated programs that include targets beyond the main cosmological samples, the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument collected spectra for 304,970 unique objects in two fields centered on the COSMOS and XMM-LSS fields. In this work, we develop spectroscopic redshift robustness criteria for those spectra, validate these criteria using visual inspection, and provide two custom value-added catalogs with our redshift characterizations. With these criteria, we reliably classify 212,935 galaxies below z < 1.6, 9713 quasars, and 35,222 stars. The resulting catalogs achieve a redshift purity exceeding 99.4% across all galaxy samples. As a critical element in characterizing the selection function, we provide the description of 70 different algorithms that were used to select these targets from imaging data. To facilitate joint imaging/spectroscopic analyses, we provide row-matched photometry from the Dark Energy Camera, Hyper-Suprime Cam, and public COSMOS2020 photometric catalogs. Finally, we demonstrate example applications of these large catalogs to photometric redshift estimation, cluster finding, and completeness studies.

SIDM Concerto: Compilation and Data Release of Self-interacting Dark Matter Zoom-in Simulations

We present SIDM Concerto: 14 cosmological zoom-in simulations in cold dark matter (CDM) and self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) models based on the Symphony and Milky Way-est suites. SIDM Concerto includes one Large Magellanic Cloud– (LMC-) mass system (host mass ∼10 11 M ⊙ ), two Milky Way (MW) analogs (∼10 12 M ⊙ ), two group-mass hosts (∼10 13 M ⊙ ), and one low-mass cluster (∼10 14 M ⊙ ). Each host contains ≈2 × 10 7 particles and is run in CDM and one or more strong, velocity-dependent SIDM models. Our analysis of SIDM (sub)halo populations over seven subhalo mass decades reveals that (1) the fraction of core-collapsed isolated halos and subhalos peaks at a maximum circular velocity corresponding to the transition of the SIDM cross section from a v −4 to v 0 scaling; (2) SIDM subhalo mass functions are suppressed by ≈50% relative to CDM in LMC, MW, and group-mass hosts but are consistent with CDM in the low-mass cluster host; (3) subhalos’ inner density profile slopes, which are more diverse in SIDM than in CDM, are sensitive to both the amplitude and shape of the SIDM cross section. Our simulations provide a benchmark for testing SIDM predictions with astrophysical observations of field and satellite galaxies, strong lensing systems, and stellar streams.

Compiled TBS data from Oliktok Point from ICARUS, AVPOP, and POPEYE

The dataset encompasses QA/QC TBS data, including TBS altitude, atmospheric pressure, dew point, POPs number concentrations and mean aerosol size, relative humidity, temperature, equivalent potential temperature, equivalent temperature, and date and time. These data are provided per day for at least one TBS flight. Supporting data from the AMF3 aligned with the timestamps of the TBS data include cloud base distance from TBS, if the time corresponds to cloud base transit of the TBS, surface-based pressure, surface-based precipitation rate, surface-based UHSAS data, ceilometer cloud base height, KAZR cloud top height, and MWR liquid water content. Both POPS and UHSAS aerosol number concentrations are provided as: (1) absolute (i.e. concentrations for each instrument's total size range) and (2) the overlapping size range (i.e. the same size bins for both instruments).

Heave-Plate Hydrodynamic Coefficients for Floating Offshore Wind Turbines - A Compilation of Data: Preprint

The National Renewable Energy Laboratory's OpenFAST software is utilized by academics and industry professionals alike to simulate offshore wind turbines. The software's modeling of hydrodynamic loads on heave plates attached to these structures relies on user specified hydrodynamic coefficients. To guide the proper selection of these coefficients and potentially develop a new functionality within OpenFAST that automatically prescribes and/or adjust the heave-plate hydrodynamic coefficients, this paper reviews past literature to examine the dependence of the added mass, damping, and drag coefficients on various relevant non-dimensional parameters, including the Keulegan-Carpenter number, the frequency parameter, and the plate thickness ratio. Existing data in the literature show strong dependence of the hydrodynamic coefficients on the Keulegan-Carpenter number. Consistent trends are observed across a range of different plate geometry, plate porosity, and flow conditions. Secondary dependence of the coefficients on the frequency parameter and plate thickness ratio is also present.
