Sources of contamination to weak lensing tomography: redshift-dependent shear measurement bias

Elisabetta Semboloni, Ismael Tereno, Ludovic van Waerbeke +1

The current methods available to estimate gravitational shear from astronomical images of galaxies introduce systematic errors which can affect the accuracy of weak lensing cosmolo…

A New Feature in the Spectrum of the Superluminous LMC Supergiant HDE 269896

Mariela A. Corti, Nolan R. Walborn, Christopher J. Evans

We have found strong selective emission of the N II 5000A complex in the spectrum of the LMC hypergiant HDE 269896, ON9.7 Ia. Since this object also has anomalously strong He I…
