Spurious Shear in Weak Lensing with LSST
C. Chang, S. M. Kahn, J. G. Jernigan +25
The complete 10-year survey from the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) will image 20,000 square degrees of sky in six filter bands every few nights, bringing the final…
Generalized Attractor Points in Gauged Supergravity
Shamit Kachru, Renata Kallosh, Marina Shmakova
The attractor mechanism governs the near-horizon geometry of extremal black holes in ungauged 4D N=2 supergravity theories and in Calabi-Yau compactifications of string theory. In…
The Efficacy of Galaxy Shape Parameters in Photometric Redshift Estimation: A Neural Network Approach
J. Singal, M. Shmakova, B. Gerke +2
We present a determination of the effects of including galaxy morphological parameters in photometric redshift estimation with an artificial neural network method. Neural networks,…
Gravitational Lensing Accuracy Testing 2010 (GREAT10) Challenge Handbook
Thomas Kitching, Sreekumar Balan, Gary Bernstein +32
GRavitational lEnsing Accuracy Testing 2010 (GREAT10) is a public image analysis challenge aimed at the development of algorithms to analyze astronomical images. Specifically, the…
A new two-faced scalar solution and cosmological SUSY breaking
Marina Shmakova, Valentin Burov
We propose a possible new way to resolve the long standing problem of strong supersymmetry breaking coexisting with a small cosmological constant. We consider a scalar component of…
Results of the GREAT08 Challenge: An image analysis competition for cosmological lensing
Sarah Bridle, Sreekumar T. Balan, Matthias Bethge +31
We present the results of the GREAT08 Challenge, a blind analysis challenge to infer weak gravitational lensing shear distortions from images. The primary goal was to stimulate new…
