CARS: the CFHTLS-Archive-Research Survey; I. Five-band multi-colour data from 37 sq. deg. CFHTLS-Wide observations
T. Erben, H. Hildebrandt, M. Lerchster +10
We present the CFHTLS-Archive-Research Survey (CARS). It is a virtual multi-colour survey based on public archive images from the CFHT-Legacy-Survey. Our main scientific interests…
Automated detection of galaxy-scale gravitational lenses in high resolution imaging data
Philip J. Marshall, David W. Hogg, Leonidas A. Moustakas +4
Lens modeling is the key to successful and meaningful automated strong galaxy-scale gravitational lens detection. We have implemented a lens-modeling "robot" that treats every brig…
Handbook for the GREAT08 Challenge: An image analysis competition for cosmological lensing
Sarah Bridle, John Shawe-Taylor, Adam Amara +35
The GRavitational lEnsing Accuracy Testing 2008 (GREAT08) Challenge focuses on a problem that is of crucial importance for future observations in cosmology. The shapes of distant g…
The mass distribution of RX J1347-1145 from strong lensing
A. Halkola, H. Hildebrandt, T. Schrabback +5
High resolution HST/ACS images of the galaxy cluster RX J1347-1145 have enabled us to identify several new multiple image candidates in the cluster, including a 5 image system with…
Dark Matter and Baryons in the Most X-ray Luminous and Merging Galaxy Cluster RX J1347.5-1145
Maruša Bradač, Tim Schrabback, Thomas Erben +12
The galaxy cluster RX J1347-1145 is one of the most X-ray luminous and most massive clusters known. Its extreme mass makes it a prime target for studying issues addressing cluster…
The Shear TEsting Programme 2: Factors affecting high precision weak lensing analyses
Richard Massey, Catherine Heymans, Joel Berge +28
The Shear TEsting Programme (STEP) is a collaborative project to improve the accuracy and reliability of weak lensing measurement, in preparation for the next generation of wide-fi…
