Modeling the intrinsic alignment (IA) of galaxies poses a challenge to weak lensing analyses. The Dark Energy Survey is expected to be less impacted by IA when limited to blue, star-forming galaxies. The cosmological parameter constraints from this b

Inferring the Morphology of the Galactic Center Excess with Gaussian Processes

Autor: Ramirez, Edward D., Sun, Yitian, Buckley, Matthew R., Mishra-Sharma, Siddharth, Slatyer, Tracy R.

Descriptions of the Galactic Center using Fermi gamma-ray data have so far modeled the Galactic Center Excess (GCE) as a template with fixed spatial morphology or as a linear combination of such templates. Although these templates are informed by var
