Ghost States Underlying Spatial and Temporal Patterns: How Nonexistent Invariant Solutions Control Nonlinear Dynamics

Tobias Schneider, Zheng Zheng, Pierre Beck, Omid Ashtari, Jeremy Peter Parker

Close to a saddle-node bifurcation, when two invariant solutions collide and disappear, the behavior of a dynamical system can closely resemble that of a solution which is no longer present at the chosen parameter value. For bifurcating equilibria in low-d ...

Pattern formation in transitional turbulent thermal convection: invariant solutions and their bifurcation structures

Zheng Zheng

Pattern formation is ubiquitous in nature and is often governed by complex interactions across a multitude of disciplines. Understanding the origin and the underlying mechanisms of many of these natural patterns remains challenging. Similar patterns also e ...

Validation of the Scientific Program for the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument

Stewart Cole, Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Andrei Variu, Xin Chen, Daniel Felipe Forero Sanchez, Eduardo Sanchez, Zheng Zheng, Hua Zhang, Sun Hee Kim, Cheng Zhao

The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) was designed to conduct a survey covering 14,000 deg(2) over 5 yr to constrain the cosmic expansion history through precise measurements of baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO). The scientific program for DESI ...

The DESI one-per cent survey: exploring the halo occupation distribution of luminous red galaxies and quasi-stellar objects with ABACUSSUMMIT

Jiaxi Yu, Zheng Zheng, Hanyu Zhang

We present the first comprehensive halo occupation distribution (HOD) analysis of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) One-Percent Survey luminous red galaxy (LRG) and Quasi Stellar Object (QSO) samples. We constrain the HOD of each sample and t ...

Natural convection in a vertical channel. Part 1. Wavenumber interaction and Eckhaus instability in a narrow domain

Tobias Schneider, Zheng Zheng

In a vertical channel driven by an imposed horizontal temperature gradient, numerical simulations (Gao et al., Phys. Rev. E, vol. 88, 2013, 023010; Phys. Rev. E, vol. 91, 2015, 013006; Phys. Rev. E, vol. 97, 2018, 053107) have previously shown steady, time ...

Natural convection in a vertical channel. Part 2. Oblique solutions and global bifurcations in a spanwise-extended domain

Tobias Schneider, Zheng Zheng

Vertical thermal convection is a non-equilibrium system in which both buoyancy and shear forces play a role in driving the convective flow. Beyond the onset of convection, the driven dissipative system exhibits chaotic dynamics and turbulence. In a three-d ...

The DESI One-Percent survey: exploring the Halo Occupation Distribution of Emission Line Galaxies with AbacusSummit simulations

Jiaxi Yu, Zheng Zheng, David Schlegel, Hanyu Zhang

The One-Percent survey of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument collected similar to 270k emission line galaxies (ELGs) at 0.8 < z < 1.6. The high completeness of the sample allowed the clustering to be measured down to scales never probed before, 0.04 ...

Performance of the Quasar Spectral Templates for the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument

Jiaxi Yu, Zheng Zheng

Millions of quasar spectra will be collected by the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI), leading to a fourfold increase in the number of known quasars. High-accuracy quasar classification is essential to tighten constraints on cosmological paramete ...

Completed SDSS-IV extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: Cosmological implications from two decades of spectroscopic surveys at the Apache Point Observatory

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Andrei Variu, Zheng Zheng, Cheng Zhao, Anand Stéphane Raichoor, Johan Comparat, Amélie Tamone, Yuting Wang

We present the cosmological implications from final measurements of clustering using galaxies, quasars, and Ly alpha forests from the completed Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) lineage of experiments in large-scale structure. These experiments, composed of ...
