WST -- Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope: The Next Leap in Wide-field Spectroscopy

Roland Bacon, Olga Bellido, Philippe Dierickx +52

The Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST) is a concept for a dedicated 12-m spectroscopic survey facility designed to address some of the most important questions in astrophysic…

Embedding Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in the WST Collaboration

Laurane Fréour, Anna Puglisi, Maria Cristina Fortuna +11

The proposed Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST) is a next-generation telescope facility with a 12-meter primary mirror that may be operational in the 2040s. The project has a…

KiDS-1000: Weak lensing and intrinsic alignment around luminous red galaxies

Maria Cristina Fortuna, Andrej Dvornik, Henk Hoekstra +8

We study the properties of luminous red galaxies (LRGs) selected from the fourth data release of the Kilo Degree Survey (KiDS-1000) via galaxy-galaxy lensing of the background gala…

Dynamical cluster masses from photometric surveys

Omar Contigiani, Henk Hoekstra, Margot M. Brouwer +5

The masses of galaxy clusters can be measured using data obtained exclusively from wide photometric surveys in one of two ways: directly from the amplitude of the weak lensing sign…

Forecasting the potential of weak lensing magnification to enhance LSST large-scale structure analyses

Constance Mahony, Maria Cristina Fortuna, Benjamin Joachimi +4

Recent works have shown that weak lensing magnification must be included in upcoming large-scale structure analyses, such as for the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Spac…

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…

Strong detection of the CMB lensingxgalaxy weak lensingcross-correlation from ACT-DR4,PlanckLegacy and KiDS-1000

Naomi Clare Robertson, David Alonso, Joachim Harnois-Déraps +48

We measure the cross-correlation between galaxy weak lensing data from the Kilo Degree Survey (KiDS-1000, DR4) and cosmic microwave background (CMB) lensing data from the Atacama C…

The PAU Survey: Intrinsic alignments and clustering of narrow-band photometric galaxies

Harry Johnston, Benjamin Joachimi, Peder Norberg +20

We present the first measurements of the projected clustering and intrinsic alignments (IA) of galaxies observed by the Physics of the Accelerating Universe Survey (PAUS). With pho…

Clustering of red-sequence galaxies in the fourth data release ofthe Kilo-Degree Survey

Mohammadjavad Vakili, Henk Hoekstra, Maciej Bilicki +13

We present a sample of luminous red-sequence galaxies to study the large-scale structure in the fourth data release of the Kilo-Degree Survey. The selected galaxies are defined by…

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…

KiDS+GAMA: Intrinsic alignment model constraints for current and future weak lensing cosmology

Harry Johnston, Christos Georgiou, Benjamin Joachimi +8

We directly constrain the non-linear alignment (NLA) model of intrinsic galaxy alignments, analysing the most representative and complete flux-limited sample of spectroscopic galax…
