Cluster-lensing: A Python Package for Galaxy Clusters & Miscentering
Jes Ford, Jake VanderPlas
We describe a new open source package for calculating properties of galaxy clusters, including NFW halo profiles with and without the effects of cluster miscentering. This pure-Pyt…
LSST Science Book, Version 2.0
LSST Science Collaboration, Paul A. Abell, Julius Allison +245
A survey that can cover the sky in optical bands over wide fields to faint magnitudes with a fast cadence will enable many of the exciting science opportunities of the next decade.…
3D Reconstruction of the Density Field: An SVD Approach to Weak Lensing Tomography
Jake VanderPlas, Andrew Connolly, Bhuvnesh Jain +1
We present a new method for constructing three-dimensional mass maps from gravitational lensing shear data. We solve the lensing inversion problem using truncation of singular valu…
Hack Weeks as a model for Data Science Education and Collaboration
Daniela Huppenkothen, Anthony Arendt, David W. Hogg +3
Across almost all scientific disciplines, the instruments that record our experimental data and the methods required for storage and data analysis are rapidly increasing in complex…
SciPy 1.0--Fundamental Algorithms for Scientific Computing in Python
Pauli Virtanen, Ralf Gommers, Travis E. Oliphant +32
SciPy is an open source scientific computing library for the Python programming language. SciPy 1.0 was released in late 2017, about 16 years after the original version 0.1 release…
Astrophysical Tests of Modified Gravity: the Morphology and Kinematics of Dwarf Galaxies
Vinu Vikram, Anna Cabre, Bhuvnesh Jain +1
This paper is the third in a series on tests of gravity using observations of stars and nearby dwarf galaxies. We carry out four distinct tests using published data on the kinemati…
