DESI Epoviz to MaNGA Population Cell Join

Status: COARSE_CELL_PRIOR

Decision: ADMIT_COARSE_CELL_PRIOR_HOLD_OBJECT_CROSSMATCH

This note uses the DESI EDR epoviz visualization/outreach VAC as a lightweight population prior and compares it with the local MaNGA stellar-gas grouping study by shared sky/redshift cells.

Claim boundary: this is not an object-level crossmatch, not a direct gas-density map, and not a cosmology fit. It is a population-shape prior for deciding where the stellar-gas model has local support and where it should stay in HOLD.
