We present two galaxy samples, selected from DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys (LS) DR9, with approximately 20,000 square degrees of coverage and spectroscopic redshift distributions designed for cross-correlations such as with CMB lensing, galaxy lensing, and the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect. The first sample is identical to the DESI Luminous Red Galaxy (LRG) sample, and the second sample is an extended LRG sample with 2-3 times the DESI LRG density. We present the improved photometric redshifts, tomographic binning and their spectroscopic redshift distributions and imaging systematics weights, and magnification bias coefficients. The catalogs and related data products will be made publicly available. The cosmological constraints using this sample and Planck lensing maps are presented in a companion paper. We also make public the new set of general-purpose photometric redshifts trained using DESI spectroscopic redshifts, which are used in this work, for all galaxies in LS DR9.

  1. First detection of the moving lens effect with ACT and DESI LS

    astro-ph.CO 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 8.0

    First observational detection of the moving lens effect via cross-correlation of ACT CMB temperature with DESI galaxies, yielding amplitude b_ML = 1.24 ± 0.26 at 4.8σ consistent with halo-model prediction.

  2. Analytical covariances for catalogue-based pseudo-$C_\ell$s

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0

    A new analytic method computes disconnected covariance matrices for catalogue-based pseudo-Cℓ power spectra by smoothing source positions and treating self-pair shot noise exactly.

  3. Optimal and exact wide-angle power spectrum estimation

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 accept novelty 7.0

    For finite-rank signals the optimal wide-angle estimator is the two-ℓ Yamamoto form, whose exact window is a finite FFT-computable sum that improves ultra-large-scale SNR by O(1).

  4. Fewer simulations, sharper covariances: Reducing mock covariance noise with Zeldovich approximation control variates

    astro-ph.CO 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Control variates with Zeldovich mocks reduce covariance matrix variance by up to an order of magnitude on large scales in DESI-like mocks.

  5. Impact and measurability of linear relativistic effects in galaxy surveys

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0

    Neglecting linear GR effects biases f_NL at 1–3σ for Euclid/SPHEREx in SFB forecasts; multi-tracer improves Doppler detection and weakly breaks b_ϕ f_NL degeneracy.

  6. Reduced Incidence of Little Red Dots at z < 3 from Number Density and Halo Mass Evolution

    astro-ph.GA 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    LRDs transition from underdense low-halo-mass environments at z>4 to typical galaxy conditions by z~3.5, with halo growth leading to larger sizes and SED changes that explain their disappearance at lower redshifts.

  7. Reduced Incidence of Little Red Dots at z < 3 from Number Density and Halo Mass Evolution

    astro-ph.GA 2026-06 conditional novelty 6.0

    Little red dots shift from underdense, low-halo-mass environments at z>4 to ordinary galaxy environments by z~3.5, explaining their declining abundance at z<3.

  8. A sound horizon independent measurement of $H_0$ from BOSS, DESI and DES Y3

    astro-ph.CO 2026-02 conditional novelty 6.0

    Combining BOSS power spectrum and bispectrum with DESI and DES lensing data yields a sound-horizon-free H0 = 70.2 ± 2.3 km/s/Mpc, with a 1.8σ BAO scale deviation that is scale-cut dependent.

  9. Reanalyzing DESI DR1: 4. Percent-Level Cosmological Constraints from Combined Probes and Robust Evidence for the Normal Neutrino Mass Hierarchy

    astro-ph.CO 2026-01 conditional novelty 6.0

    A combined-analysis of DESI galaxy clustering, CMB lensing, BAO, CMB, and supernovae yields percent-level Lambda-CDM parameters, improved dark-energy figure-of-merit, and neutrino-mass bounds that disfavor the inverte...

  10. EFT-Ramses: a code to simulate the effective field theory of dark energy

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 accept novelty 5.5

    A unified AMR N-body code embeds EFTofDE α-basis models into one master Vainshtein equation and matches legacy ECOSMOG and HiCOLA matter power spectra.

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Adding DESI DR1 RSD, DES Y3 3x2pt, and ISW cross-correlations to CMB+BAO+SNe improves FoM for EFTofDE parameters {cB, cM} by 2.69x and for {mu(z), Sigma(z)} by 3.37x, with 2.9 sigma deviation from LambdaCDM similar to...

    astro-ph.CO 2025-10 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Forecasts that under 225 N-body simulations suffice for 1-2% accurate HEFT emulators over wide w0waCDM + m_nu parameter space, with as few as 80 for restricted volumes.
