OpenUniverse2024: A shared, simulated view of the sky for the next generation of cosmological surveys
Journal Article Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society · December 1, 2025 The OpenUniverse2024 simulation suite is a cross-collaboration effort to produce matched simulated imaging for multiple surveys as they would observe a common simulated sky. Both the simulated data and associated tools used to produce it are intended to un ... Full text CiteSimulating Continuum-based Redshift Measurement in the Roman’s High Latitude Spectroscopic Survey
Journal Article Astronomical Journal · June 2, 2025 We investigate the capability of the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope’s (Roman) Wide-Field Instrument G150 slitless grism to detect red, quiescent galaxies based on the current reference survey. We simulate dispersed images for Roman reference High-Latitu ...

Journal Article Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics · June 1, 2025 Our understanding of the γ-ray sky has improved dramatically in the past decade, however, the unresolved γ-ray background (UGRB) still has a potential wealth of information about the faintest γ-ray sources pervading the Universe. Statistical cross-correlat ... Full text CiteRecent Grants
