Locating the Baryon Acoustic Peak
Fergus Simpson, John A. Peacock, Patrick Simon
Forthcoming photometric redshift surveys should provide an accurate probe of the acoustic peak in the two-point galaxy correlation function, in the form of angular clustering of ga…
Spontaneous ordering as an intrinsic effect at the mesoscopic scale: A vibrational insight in (Zn,Be)Se by Raman scattering and first-principles calculations
O. Pages, A. V. Postnikov, A. Chafi +5
The recent finding of a 1-bond->2-phonon `percolation'-type behaviour in several random zincblende alloys, supporting an unsuspected 1-bond->2-mode behaviour in the bond length dis…
How accurate is Limber's equation?
P. Simon
The so-called Limber equation is widely used in the literature to relate the projected angular clustering of galaxies to the spatial clustering of galaxies in an approximate way. T…
Why your model parameter confidences might be too optimistic -- unbiased estimation of the inverse covariance matrix
J. Hartlap, P. Simon, P. Schneider
AIMS. The maximum-likelihood method is the standard approach to obtain model fits to observational data and the corresponding confidence regions. We investigate possible sources of…
GaBoDS: The Garching-Bonn Deep Survey: VI. Cosmic shear analysis
M. Hetterscheidt, P. Simon, M. Schirmer +4
Aims. We present a cosmic shear analysis and data validation of 15 square degree high-quality R-band data of the Garching-Bonn Deep Survey obtained with the Wide Field Imager of th…
GaBoDS: The Garching-Bonn Deep Survey: VII. Probing galaxy bias using weak gravitational lensing
P. Simon, M. Hetterscheidt, M. Schirmer +4
[ABRIDGED] The weak gravitational lensing effect is used to infer matter density fluctuations within the field-of-view of the Garching-Bonn Deep Survey (GaBoDS). This information i…
