Weak lensing magnification in the Dark Energy Survey Science Verification Data

M. Garcia-Fernandez, E. Sánchez, I. Sevilla-Noarbe +68

In this paper the effect of weak lensing magnification on galaxy number counts is studied by cross-correlating the positions of two galaxy samples, separated by redshift, using dat…

Cluster Mass Calibration at High Redshift: HST Weak Lensing Analysis of 13 Distant Galaxy Clusters from the South Pole Telescope Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Survey

T. Schrabback, D. Applegate, J. P. Dietrich +26

We present an HST/ACS weak gravitational lensing analysis of 13 massive high-redshift (z_median=0.88) galaxy clusters discovered in the South Pole Telescope (SPT) Sunyaev-Zel'dovic…

Weak-lensing mass calibration of redMaPPer galaxy clusters in Dark Energy Survey Science Verification data

P. Melchior, D. Gruen, T. McClintock +78

We use weak-lensing shear measurements to determine the mean mass of optically selected galaxy clusters in Dark Energy Survey Science Verification data. In a blinded analysis, we s…

Galaxy bias from galaxy-galaxy lensing in the DES Science Verification Data

J. Prat, C. Sánchez, R. Miquel +68

We present a measurement of galaxy-galaxy lensing around a magnitude-limited () sample of galaxies from the Dark Energy Survey Science Verification (DES-SV) data. We…

Frequentist model comparison tests of sinusoidal variations in measurements of Newton's gravitational constant

Shantanu Desai

Anderson et al have claimed to find evidence for periodic sinusoidal variations (period=5.9 years) in measurements of Newton's Gravitational constant. These claims have been disput…
