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…

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…

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…

A roadmap to cosmological parameter analysis with third-order shear statistics III: Efficient estimation of third-order shear correlation functions and an application to the KiDS-1000 data

Lucas Porth, Sven Heydenreich, Pierre Burger +2

Third-order lensing statistics contain a wealth of cosmological information that is not captured by second-order statistics. However, the computational effort for estimating such s…

KiDS-1000 cosmology: Combined second- and third-order shear statistics

Pierre A. Burger, Lucas Porth, Sven Heydenreich +9

This paper performs the first cosmological parameter analysis of the KiDS-1000 data with second- and third-order shear statistics. This work builds on a series of papers that descr…

KiDS-1000 Cosmology: constraints beyond flat CDM

Tilman Tröster, Marika Asgari, Chris Blake +26

We present constraints on extensions to the flat CDM cosmological model by varying the spatial curvature , the sum of the neutrino masses , the dark energy equati…

The third data release of the Kilo-Degree Survey and associated data products

J. T. A. de Jong, G. A. Verdoes Kleijn, T. Erben +40

The Kilo-Degree Survey (KiDS) is an ongoing optical wide-field imaging survey with the OmegaCAM camera at the VLT Survey Telescope. It aims to image 1500 square degrees in four fil…
