New Kids in Town. Sextans~II: a new stellar system in the outskirts of the Milky Way
Massimiliano Gatto, Michele Bellazzini, Crescenzo Tortora +9
We report on the discovery of a significant and compact over-density of old and metal-poor stars in the KiDS survey (data release 4). The discovery is confirmed by deeper HSC-SSC d…
DenseLens -- Using DenseNet ensembles and information criteria for finding and rank-ordering strong gravitational lenses,
Bharath Chowdhary Nagam, Léon V. E. Koopmans, Edwin A. Valentijn +5
Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are the state-of-the-art technique for identifying strong gravitational lenses. Although they are highly successful in recovering genuine lens…
Photometric redshifts for the Kilo-Degree Survey. Machine-learning analysis with artificial neural networks
M. Bilicki, H. Hoekstra, M. J. I. Brown +24
We present a machine-learning photometric redshift analysis of the Kilo-Degree Survey Data Release 3, using two neural-network based techniques: ANNz2 and MLPQNA. Despite limited c…
The masses of satellites in GAMA galaxy groups from 100 square degrees of KiDS weak lensing data
Cristóbal Sifón, Marcello Cacciato, Henk Hoekstra +23
We use the first 100 sq. deg. of overlap between the Kilo-Degree Survey (KiDS) and the Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA) survey to determine the galaxy halo mass of ~10,000 spectrosc…
The Kilo-Degree Survey
Jelte T. A. de Jong, Gijs A. Verdoes Kleijn, Konrad H. Kuijken +3
The Kilo Degree Survey (KiDS) is a 1500 square degree optical imaging survey with the recently commissioned OmegaCAM wide-field imager on the VLT Survey Telescope (VST). A suite of…
Astro-WISE for KiDS survey production and quality control
Gijs Verdoes Kleijn, Jelte T. A. de Jong, E. A. Valentijn +1
The Kilo Degree Survey (KiDS) is a 1500 square degree optical imaging survey with the recently commissioned OmegaCAM wide-field imager on the VLT Survey Telescope (VST). A suite of…
