Robust Measurement of Stellar Streams Around the Milky Way: Correcting Spatially Variable Observational Selection Effects in Optical Imaging Surveys
K. K. Boone, P. S. Ferguson, M. Tabbutt +47
Observations of density variations in stellar streams are a promising probe of low-mass dark matter substructure in the Milky Way. However, survey systematics such as variations in…
Imaging systematics induced by galaxy sub-sample fluctuation: new systematics at second order
Hui Kong, Nora Elisa Chisari, Boris Leistedt +4
Imaging systematics refers to the inhomogeneous distribution of a galaxy sample caused by varying observing conditions and astrophysical foregrounds. Current mitigation methods cor…
The SPT-Deep Cluster Catalog: Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Selected Clusters from Combined SPT-3G and SPTpol Measurements over 100 Square Degrees
K. Kornoelje, L. E. Bleem, E. S. Rykoff +191
We present a catalog of 500 galaxy cluster candidates in the SPT-Deep field: a 100 deg field that combines data from the SPT-3G and SPTpol surveys to reach noise levels of 3.0,…
Superclustering with the Atacama Cosmology Telescope and Dark Energy Survey: II. Anisotropic large-scale coherence in hot gas, galaxies, and dark matter
M. Lokken, A. van Engelen, M. Aguena +73
Statistics that capture the directional dependence of the baryon distribution in the cosmic web enable unique tests of cosmology and astrophysical feedback. We use constrained orie…
