The Hyper Suprime-Cam SSP Survey: Overview and Survey Design
H. Aihara, N. Arimoto, R. Armstrong +139
Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) is a wide-field imaging camera on the prime focus of the 8.2m Subaru telescope on the summit of Maunakea in Hawaii. A team of scientists from Japan, Taiwan…
The Luminosity and Color Dependence of the Galaxy Correlation Function
I. Zehavi, Z. Zheng, D. H. Weinberg +24
We study the luminosity and color dependence of the galaxy 2-point correlation function in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, starting from a sample of 200,000 galaxies over 2500 deg^2.…
SDSS J131339.98+515128.3: A new gravitationally lensed quasar selected based on near-infrared excess
E. O. Ofek, M. Oguri, N. Jackson +2
We report the discovery of a new gravitationally lensed quasar, SDSS J131339.98+515128.3, at a redshift of 1.875 with an image separation of 1.24". The lensing galaxy is clearly de…
STRIDES: Automated uniform models for 30 quadruply imaged quasars
T. Schmidt, T. Treu, S. Birrer +68
Gravitational time delays provide a powerful one step measurement of , independent of all other probes. One key ingredient in time delay cosmography are high accuracy lens mod…
Is every strong lens model unhappy in its own way? Uniform modelling of a sample of 13 quadruply+ imaged quasars
A. J. Shajib, S. Birrer, T. Treu +70
Strong-gravitational lens systems with quadruply-imaged quasars (quads) are unique probes to address several fundamental problems in cosmology and astrophysics. Although they are i…
The Effect of Large-Scale Structure on the SDSS Galaxy Three-Point Correlation Function
R. C. Nichol, R. K. Sheth, Y. Suto +21
We present measurements of the normalised redshift-space three-point correlation function (Q_z) of galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) main galaxy sample. We have app…
Lognormal Property of Weak Lensing Fields
A. Taruya, M. Takada, T. Hamana +2
The statistical property of the weak lensing fields is studied quantitatively using the ray-tracing simulations. Motivated by the empirical lognormal model that characterizes the p…
