Rubin LSST DP2 unveils almost-dark galaxies in the Virgo Cluster
Minh Ngoc Le, Johan H. Knapen, Željko Ivezić +27
Galaxies with the faintest surface brightness are currently known only in the Local Group. Similar objects should exist beyond our vicinity and are crucial for understanding galaxy…
Satellite Optical Brightness
Forrest Fankhauser, J. Anthony Tyson, Jacob Askari
The apparent brightness of satellites is calculated as a function of satellite position as seen by a ground-based observer in darkness. Both direct illumination of the satellite by…
Sky Subtraction in an Era of Low Surface Brightness Astronomy
Lee S. Kelvin, Imran Hasan, J. Anthony Tyson
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory Wide-Fast Deep (WFD) sky survey will reach unprecedented surface brightness depths over tens of thousands of square degrees. Surface brightness photom…
Mitigating Satellite Trails: a Study of Residual Light after Masking
Imran Hasan, J. Anthony Tyson, Clare Saunders +1
Using Hyper Suprime Camera data (a precursor of what is to come with Rubin Observatory) we assess trail masking mitigation strategies for satellite contamination. We examine HSC da…
Galaxy blending effects in deep imaging cosmic shear probes of cosmology
Erfan Nourbakhsh, J. Anthony Tyson, Samuel J. Schmidt +1
Upcoming deep imaging surveys such as the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time will be confronted with challenges that come with increased depth. One of the le…
The Impact of Tomographic Redshift Bin Width Errors on Cosmological Probes
Imran Hasan, Samuel J. Schmidt, Michael D. Schneider +1
Systematic errors in the galaxy redshift distribution can propagate to systematic errors in the derived cosmology. We characterize how the degenerate effects in tomographic…
