Talk — DESI Progress and Results

Abstract

The main DESI redshift surveys have now collected 3 years of data and analysis of the Year-1 data set is almost complete. While concentrating  on the analysis of the Bright Galaxy Survey (BGS) in which I'm most directly involved  I plan to review the main cosmological results from other components of DESI. The BGS is a magnitude-limited (r<19.5) galaxy redshift survey and so rather like the SDSS main survey but about two magnitudes deeper. As such it is not only a useful cosmological probe but also a powerful probe of the local galaxy population and so a constraint on galaxy formation and the galaxy dark matter connection. I will present an analysis of how galaxy clustering depends on galaxyproperties and the galaxy luminosity function depends on environment.
