abstract

The Cosmic Evolution Survey (COSMOS) is designed to probe the correlated evolution of galaxies, star formation, active galactic nuclei (AGN) and dark matter (DM) with large-scale structure (LSS) over the redshift range z $> 0.5 $ to 6. The survey includes multi-wavelength imaging and spectroscopy from X-ray to radio wavelengths covering a 2 $\sq$\deg area, including HST imaging. Given the very high sensitivity and resolution of these datasets, COSMOS also provides unprecedented samples of objects at high redshift with greatly reduced cosmic variance, compared to earlier surveys. Here we provide a brief overview of the survey strategy, the characteristics of the major COSMOS datasets, and summarize the science goals.

  2. pop-cosmos: Disentangling galaxy properties from observables using data-driven approaches

    astro-ph.GA 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    A beta-VAE analysis of pop-cosmos models finds that five latent dimensions capture the rest-frame optical SED, corresponding to stellar mass, recent star formation, dust, and two gas ionization states.

    astro-ph.GA 2026-06 conditional novelty 6.0

    Rest-frame optical galaxy SEDs from a 16-parameter SPS model are captured by five disentangled VAE latents (mass, young stars, dust, soft/hard ionization); metallicity and age are not independent drivers.

    astro-ph.GA 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Massive galaxies at z>3.5 assembled stars earlier than theoretical models predict and exhibit gray dust attenuation, especially at the highest masses.

  6. Dark Energy Survey Year 6 Results: Redshift Calibration of the MagLim++ Lens Sample

    astro-ph.CO 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0

    DES Y6 calibrates MagLim++ lens galaxy redshift distributions to 1-2% mean accuracy using SOM-based photometric redshifts plus clustering redshifts, with uncertainties compressed into a few modes.

  7. pop-cosmos: Galaxy size evolution across structural and star-formation classifications in COSMOS-Web

    astro-ph.GA 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Galaxy size-mass relations exhibit double power-law breaks at different pivot masses for quiescent versus bulge-dominated samples, coinciding with AGN activity scales.

  8. MSA-3D: Rotation Curves and Dark Matter Fractions at z~0.5-1.7 with JWST/NIRSpec

    astro-ph.GA 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    New JWST data on 23 galaxies at 0.5<z<1.7 show median dark matter fraction of 0.63 at effective radius with 0.2 dex scatter, and a mix of rising, flat, and falling rotation curves.

  9. Radio spectral properties and aging of two tailed radio galaxies in a galaxy group at z=0.35

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Spectral ages of 34 Myr (WAT) and 21 Myr (HT) are much younger than dynamical ages of 140-700 Myr, indicating IGM interactions and possible re-acceleration.

    astro-ph.GA 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Stacking of 850-micron data reveals SFR increasing with redshift and declining from irregular to spheroidal galaxies at 2<z<4.5, with a chemical evolution model reproducing the dust-to-stellar mass ratio rise to z~8.

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Spectral ages of a WAT and HT radio galaxy (~21–34 Myr) are ~7–20 times shorter than their dynamical ages, with spectral steepening and localized re-acceleration signatures of IGM interaction.
