KiDS-Legacy: Joint analysis of second- and third-order cosmic shear
L. Linke, L. Porth, P. Burger +21
Weak lensing by large-scale structure is a powerful cosmological probe. While most analyses rely on second-order correlations, these are primarily sensitive to the parameter combin…
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 , i…
A roadmap to cosmological parameter analysis with third-order shear statistics IV. Analytic cross-covariance between second- and third-order aperture masses
Niek Wielders, Laila Linke, Pierre A. Burger +3
Weak gravitational lensing is a powerful probe of cosmology, with second-order shear statistics commonly used to constrain parameters such as the matter density and…
Towards an application of fourth-order shear statistics II: Efficient estimation of fourth-order shear correlation functions and an application to the DES Y3 data
Lucas Porth, Elena Silvestre-Rosello, Peter Schneider +1
Higher-order lensing statistics contain a wealth of cosmological information that is not captured by second-order statistics. Stage-III lensing surveys have sufficient statistical…
Towards an application of fourth-order shear statistics I. The information content of
Elena Silvestre-Rosello, Lucas Porth, Peter Schneider +4
Higher-order shear statistics contain part of the non-Gaussian information of the projected matter field and therefore can provide additional constraints on the cosmological parame…
The fifth data release of the Kilo Degree Survey: Multi-epoch optical/NIR imaging covering wide and legacy-calibration fields
Angus H. Wright, Konrad Kuijken, Hendrik Hildebrandt +51
We present the final data release of the Kilo-Degree Survey (KiDS-DR5), a public European Southern Observatory (ESO) wide-field imaging survey optimised for weak gravitational lens…
