Diagnosing the Effects of Spectroscopic Training Set Imperfection on Photometric Redshift Performance
Alice Crafford, Alex I. Malz, Tianqing Zhang +11
Most LSST extragalactic science will rely on photometric redshifts (photo-) to extract distance information for the galaxies. However, an incomplete or non-representative traini…
KiDS-Legacy: Consistency of cosmic shear measurements and joint cosmological constraints with external probes
Benjamin Stölzner, Angus H. Wright, Marika Asgari +33
We present a cosmic shear consistency analysis of the final data release from the Kilo-Degree Survey (KiDS-Legacy). By adopting three tiers of consistency metrics, we compare cosmo…
KiDS-Legacy: Cosmological constraints from cosmic shear with the complete Kilo-Degree Survey
Angus H. Wright, Benjamin Stölzner, Marika Asgari +35
We present cosmic shear constraints from the completed Kilo-Degree Survey (KiDS), where the cosmological parameter , is…
KiDS-Legacy: Redshift distributions and their calibration
Angus H. Wright, Hendrik Hildebrandt, Jan Luca van den Busch +30
We present the redshift calibration methodology and bias estimates for the cosmic shear analysis of the fifth and final data release (DR5) of the Kilo-Degree Survey (KiDS). KiDS-DR…
Quantifying the Detectability of Milky Way Satellites with Image Simulations: a Case Study with KiDS
Shiyang Zhang, Hendrik Hildebrandt, Ziang Yan +6
Ultra-faint dwarf galaxies, which can be detected as resolved satellite systems of the Milky Way, are critical to understanding galaxy formation, evolution, and the nature of dark…
