The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument Survey Early Data Release Is Available at the Astro Data Lab
Abstract
The Early Data Release (EDR) of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) survey comprises nearly two million spectra of galaxies, quasars, and stars obtained during the commissioning and survey validation phases of the observing campaign [1]. While DESI is designed primarily to be a world-leading cosmological experiment, the rich dataset from the EDR can enable a slew of scientific discoveries across a broader range of astrophysics
