We present a tentative constraint on cosmological parameters Ωm and σ8 from a joint analysis of galaxy clustering and galaxy-galaxy lensing from DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys Data Release 9 (DR9), covering approximately 10000 square degrees and spanning the redshift range of 0.1 to 0.9. To study the dependence of cosmological parameters on lens redshift, we divide lens galaxies into seven approximately volume-limited samples, each with an equal width in photometric redshift. To retrieve the intrinsic projected correlation function wp(rp) from the lens samples, we employ a novel method to account for redshift uncertainties. Additionally, we measured the galaxy-galaxy lensing signal ΔΣ(rp) for each lens sample, using source galaxies selected from the shear catalog by applying our Fourier_Quad pipeline to DR9 images. We model these observables within the flat ACDM framework, employing the minimal bias model. To ensure the reliability of the minimal bias model, we apply conservative scale cuts: rp > 8 and 12 h−1Mpc, for wp(rp) and ΔΣ(rp), respectively. Our findings suggest a mild tendency that S 8 ≡ σ 8 Ω m / 0.3 increases with lens redshift, although this trend is only marginally significant. When we combine low redshift samples, the value of S8 is determined to be 0.84 ± 0.02, consistent with the Planck results but significantly higher than the 3× 2pt analysis by 2–5σ. Despite the fact that further refinements in measurements and modeling could improve the accuracy of our results, the consistency with standard values demonstrates the potential of our method for more precise and accurate cosmology in the future.
