KiDS0239-3211: A new gravitational quadruple lens candidate
A. Sergeyev, C. Spiniello, V. Khramtsov +5
We report the discovery of a candidate to quadrupole gravitationally lensed system KiDS0239-3211 based on the public data release 3 of the KiDS survey and machine learning techniqu…
AMICO galaxy clusters in KiDS-DR3: weak-lensing mass calibration
Fabio Bellagamba, Mauro Sereno, Mauro Roncarelli +8
We present the mass calibration for galaxy clusters detected with the AMICO code in KiDS DR3 data. The cluster sample comprises 7000 objects and covers the redshift range 0.…
Evolution of galaxy size--stellar mass relation from the Kilo Degree Survey
N. Roy, N. R. Napolitano, F. La Barbera +16
We have obtained structural parameters of about 340,000 galaxies from the Kilo Degree Survey (KiDS) in 153 square degrees of data release 1, 2 and 3. We have performed a seeing con…
The first sample of spectroscopically confirmed ultra-compact massive galaxies in the Kilo Degree Survey
C. Tortora, N. R. Napolitano, M. Spavone +25
We present results from an ongoing investigation using the Kilo Degree Survey (KiDS) on the VLT Survey Telescope (VST) to provide a census of ultra-compact massive galaxies (UCMGs)…
KiDS-SQuaD: The KiDS Strongly lensed Quasar Detection project
C. Spiniello, A. Agnello, N. R. Napolitano +11
New methods have been recently developed to search for strong gravitational lenses, in particular lensed quasars, in wide-field imaging surveys. Here, we compare the performance of…
Gravitational Waves optical follow-up at VST
A. Grado, E. Brocato, M. Branchesi +8
We report on the deep optical follow-up surveys of the first two gravitational-wave events, GW150914 and GW151226, accomplished by the GRAvitational Wave Inaf TeAm Collaboration (G…
