What is your position or role in the DESI project? Over the years, I had different roles in the DESI project. For example, I was the co-chair of the Image Validation Task Force that validated the images that were used afterwards to target galaxies. In the last three years I was a member of the […]| Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI)

What is your position or role in the DESI project? My main role is to co-lead the joint analysis of DESI and external weak gravitational lensing surveys. Both primary DESI probes, baryon acoustic oscillations and redshift-space distortions are excellent probes of dark energy, and so is weak lensing. We hope that by combining these probes, […]| Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI)
DESI has made the largest 3D map of our universe to date and uses it to study dark energy. (Credit: DESI collaboration and KPNO/NOIRLab/NSF/AURA/R. Proctor)The American Astronomical Society (AAS) has announced its selection of the DESI collaboration as the recipient of the 2026 Lancelot M. Berkeley–New York Community Trust Prize. Established in 2011, the prize is awarded annually for highly meritorious work advancing astronomy in the previous year. Previous recipients have included both ind...| Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI)

21 August 2025 Joan Najita (NOIRLab) DESI recently reported compelling evidence that dark energy is dynamic and evolves with time. What drives this evolution? In a recent paper, a group of DESI scientists propose that the evolution is driven by the creation of non-singular black holes, which converts ordinary (baryonic) matter into dark energy. The […]| Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI)
