The Galactic bulge as seen in optical surveys

C. Reyle, D. J. Marshall, M. Schultheis +1

The bulge is a region of the Galaxy of tremendous interest for understanding galaxy formation. However measuring photometry and kinematics in it raises several inherent issues, suc…

The Milky Way's external disc constrained by 2MASS star counts

C. Reyle, D. J. Marshall, A. C. Robin +1

Context. Thanks to recent large scale surveys in the near infrared such as 2MASS, the galactic plane that most suffers from extinction is revealed and its overall structure can be…

Photometric redshifts for the CFHTLS T0004 Deep and Wide fields

J. Coupon, O. Ilbert, M. Kilbinger +15

We compute photometric redshifts based on the template-fitting method in the fourth public release of the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Legacy Survey. This unique multi-colour cat…

Interstellar Extinction and Long-Period Variables in the Galactic Center

M. Schultheis, K. Sellgren, S. Ramirez +4

We use the Spitzer IRAC catalogue of the Galactic Center (GC) point sources (Ramirez et al. 2008) and combine it with new isochrones (Marigo et al. 2008) to derive extinctions base…

Dark energy constraints and correlations with systematics from CFHTLS weak lensing, SNLS supernovae Ia and WMAP5

M. Kilbinger, K. Benabed, J. Guy +15

We combine measurements of weak gravitational lensing from the CFHTLS-Wide survey, supernovae Ia from CFHT SNLS and CMB anisotropies from WMAP5 to obtain joint constraints on cosmo…

Stellar populations in a standard ISOGAL field in the Galactic disk

S. Ganesh, A. Omont, U. C. Joshi +4

We aim to identify the stellar populations (mostly red giants and young stars) detected in the ISOGAL survey at 7 and 15micron towards a field (LN45) in the direction l=-45, b=0.0.…
