Stress testing the dark energy equation of state imprint on supernova data

Ben Moews, Rafael S. de Souza, Emille E. O. Ishida +4

This work determines the degree to which a standard Lambda-CDM analysis based on type Ia supernovae can identify deviations from a cosmological constant in the form of a redshift-d…

KiDS+VIKING-450: Cosmic shear tomography with optical+infrared data

H. Hildebrandt, F. Köhlinger, J. L. van den Busch +25

We present a tomographic cosmic shear analysis of the Kilo-Degree Survey (KiDS) combined with the VISTA Kilo-Degree Infrared Galaxy Survey (VIKING). This is the first time that a f…

On the road to percent accuracy: nonlinear reaction of the matter power spectrum to dark energy and modified gravity

Matteo Cataneo, Lucas Lombriser, Catherine Heymans +4

We present a general method to compute the nonlinear matter power spectrum for dark energy and modified gravity scenarios with percent-level accuracy. By adopting the halo model an…

Towards emulating cosmic shear data: Revisiting the calibration of the shear measurements for the Kilo-Degree Survey

Arun Kannawadi, Henk Hoekstra, Lance Miller +9

Exploiting the full statistical power of future cosmic shear surveys will necessitate improvements to the accuracy with which the gravitational lensing signal is measured. We prese…
