KiDS-1000: Constraints on the intrinsic alignment of luminous red galaxies

Maria Cristina Fortuna, Henk Hoekstra, Harry Johnston +11

We constrain the luminosity and redshift dependence of the intrinsic alignment (IA) of a nearly volume-limited sample of luminous red galaxies selected from the fourth public data…

Halo shapes constrained from a pure sample of central galaxies in KiDS-1000

Christos Georgiou, Henk Hoekstra, Konrad Kuijken +12

We present measurements of , the ratio of the aligned components of the projected halo and galaxy ellipticities, for a sample of central galaxies using weak gravitational lens…

Tightening weak lensing constraints on the ellipticity of galaxy-scale dark matter haloes

Tim Schrabback, Henk Hoekstra, Ludovic Van Waerbeke +19

Cosmological simulations predict that galaxies are embedded into triaxial dark matter haloes, which appear approximately elliptical in projection. Weak gravitational lensing allows…

The halo model as a versatile tool to predict intrinsic alignments

Maria Cristina Fortuna, Henk Hoekstra, Benjamin Joachimi +4

Intrinsic alignments (IAs) of galaxies are an important contaminant for cosmic shear studies, but the modelling is complicated by the dependence of the signal on the source galaxy…

GAMA+KiDS: Alignment of galaxies in galaxy groups and its dependence on galaxy scale

Christos Georgiou, Nora Elisa Chisari, Maria Cristina Fortuna +11

Intrinsic galaxy alignments are a source of bias for weak lensing measurements as well as a tool for understanding galaxy formation and evolution. In this work, we measure the alig…

Luminous red galaxies in the Kilo Degree Survey: selection with broad-band photometry and weak lensing measurements

Mohammadjavad Vakili, Maciej Bilicki, Henk Hoekstra +5

We use the overlap between multiband photometry of the Kilo-Degree Survey (KiDS) and spectroscopic data based on the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and Galaxy And Mass Assembly (G…
