Data downloaded via parachute from a NASA super-pressure balloon
Ellen L. Sirks, Richard Massey, Ajay S. Gill +40
In April to May 2023, the superBIT telescope was lifted to the Earth's stratosphere by a helium-filled super-pressure balloon, to acquire astronomical imaging from above (99.5% of)…
Beyond the Ultra-deep Frontier Fields And Legacy Observations (BUFFALO): a high-resolution strong + weak-lensing view of Abell 370
Anna Niemiec, Mathilde Jauzac, Dominique Eckert +17
The HST treasury program BUFFALO provides extended wide-field imaging of the six Hubble Frontier Fields galaxy clusters. Here we present the combined strong and weak-lensing analys…
Lensing in the Blue II: Estimating the Sensitivity of Stratospheric Balloons to Weak Gravitational Lensing
Jacqueline E. McCleary, Spencer W. Everett, Mohamed M. Shaaban +23
The Superpressure Balloon-borne Imaging Telescope (SuperBIT) is a diffraction-limited, wide-field, 0.5 m, near-infrared to near-ultraviolet observatory designed to exploit the stra…
Strong gravitational lensing's 'external shear' is not shear
Amy Etherington, James W. Nightingale, Richard Massey +19
The distribution of mass in galaxy-scale strong gravitational lenses is often modelled as an elliptical power law plus 'external shear', which notionally accounts for neighbouring…
