LSST Science Book, Version 2.0
LSST Science Collaboration, Paul A. Abell, Julius Allison +245
A survey that can cover the sky in optical bands over wide fields to faint magnitudes with a fast cadence will enable many of the exciting science opportunities of the next decade.…
The WiggleZ Dark Energy Survey: Direct constraints on blue galaxy intrinsic alignments at intermediate redshifts
Rachel Mandelbaum, Chris Blake, Sarah Bridle +21
Correlations between the intrinsic shapes of galaxy pairs, and between the intrinsic shapes of galaxies and the large-scale density field, may be induced by tidal fields. These cor…
An algorithm for the direct reconstruction of the dark matter correlation function from weak lensing and galaxy clustering
Tobias Baldauf, Robert E. Smith, Uros Seljak +1
The clustering of matter on cosmological scales is an essential probe for studying the physical origin and composition of our Universe. To date, most of the direct studies have foc…
Precision cluster mass determination from weak lensing
Rachel Mandelbaum, Uros Seljak, Tobias Baldauf +1
Weak gravitational lensing has been used extensively in the past decade to constrain the masses of galaxy clusters, and is the most promising observational technique for providing…
Testing adiabatic contraction with SDSS elliptical galaxies
A. E. Schulz, Rachel Mandelbaum, Nikhil Padmanabhan
We study the profiles of 75 086 elliptical galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) at both large (50-500 kpc/h) and small (~3 kpc/h) scales. Weak lensing observations in…
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…
