The Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey (NGVS). II. A Catalog of Galaxies in the Virgo Cluster
Laura Ferrarese, Patrick Cote, Lauren A. MacArthur +51
The Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey (NGVS) is a deep, high resolution imaging campaign that used the 1 deg MegaCam instrument on the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope to carr…
Probabilistic redshift estimation of unresolved galaxies from multi-band background light maps
Shun-Sheng Li, Hendrik Hildebrandt, Ludovic Van Waerbeke
The paper introduces a method that uses conditional normalising flows trained on realistic simulations to estimate redshift distributions of unresolved galaxies directly from multi…
Measuring satellite galaxy subhalo masses in redMaPPer clusters with UNIONS weak lensing data
Roman Akhmetshyn, Jack Elvin-Poole, Michael J. Hudson +13
The paper measures the weak gravitational lensing signal of satellite galaxies in rich clusters using UNIONS data to estimate their subhalo masses and study tidal stripping effects…
KiDS-Legacy: The consistency test of the large-scale structure with Bernardeau-Nishimichi-Taruya transform
Shiming Gu, Ziang Yan, Ludovic van Waerbeke +10
We perform the first -cut cosmic shear analysis of the KiDS-Legacy survey. This method uses the Bernardeau-Nishimichi-Taruya (BNT) transform to construct weak-lensing kernels th…
Revisiting the 'Lensing is Low' Problem with UNIONS
Martine C. T. Campbell, Jack Elvin-Poole, Michael J. Hudson +11
We present new measurements of the galaxy-galaxy lensing (GGL) signal around Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) CMASS galaxies using background sources from the Ultravi…
Evolving Dark Energy Is Vacuum Energy After All
Dong Ha Lee, Carsten van de Bruck, Eleonora Di Valentino +2
We investigate a physically motivated model of dynamical dark energy arising from the non-perturbative topological structure of the Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) vacuum. The model i…
