The Hobby–Eberly Telescope Dark Energy Experiment (HETDEX) Survey Design, Reductions, and Detections (2021)
Journal Article
Gebhardt, K., Mentuch Cooper, E., Ciardullo, R., Acquaviva, V., Bender, R., Bowman, W. P., …Zhang, Y. (2021). The Hobby–Eberly Telescope Dark Energy Experiment (HETDEX) Survey Design, Reductions, and Detections. The Astrophysical journal, 923(2), Article 217. https://doi.org/10.3847/1538-4357/ac2e03

We describe the survey design, calibration, commissioning, and emission-line detection algorithms for the Hobby–Eberly Telescope Dark Energy Experiment (HETDEX). The goal of HETDEX is to measure the redshifts of over a million Lyα emitting galaxies b...

Correcting correlation functions for redshift-dependent interloper contamination (2021)
Journal Article
Farrow, D. J., Sánchez, A. G., Ciardullo, R., Cooper, E. M., Davis, D., Fabricius, M., …Wold, I. G. (2021). Correcting correlation functions for redshift-dependent interloper contamination. Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 507(3), 3187-3206. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stab1986

The construction of catalogues of a particular type of galaxy can be complicated by interlopers contaminating the sample. In spectroscopic galaxy surveys this can be due to the misclassification of an emission line; for example in the Hobby-Eberly Te...
