Cross-correlation of gravitational lensing from DES Science Verification data with SPT and Planck lensing

D. Kirk, Y. Omori, A. Benoit-Lévy +89

We measure the cross-correlation between weak lensing of galaxy images and of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). The effects of gravitational lensing on different sources will…

The DES Science Verification Weak Lensing Shear Catalogues

M. Jarvis, E. Sheldon, J. Zuntz +92

We present weak lensing shear catalogues for 139 square degrees of data taken during the Science Verification (SV) time for the new Dark Energy Camera (DECam) being used for the Da…

Cosmic Shear Measurements with DES Science Verification Data

M. R. Becker, M. A. Troxel, N. MacCrann +102

We present measurements of weak gravitational lensing cosmic shear two-point statistics using Dark Energy Survey Science Verification data. We demonstrate that our results are robu…

Cosmology from Cosmic Shear with DES Science Verification Data

The Dark Energy Survey Collaboration, T. Abbott, F. B. Abdalla +126

We present the first constraints on cosmology from the Dark Energy Survey (DES), using weak lensing measurements from the preliminary Science Verification (SV) data. We use 139 squ…

CMB lensing tomography with the DES Science Verification galaxies

T. Giannantonio, P. Fosalba, R. Cawthon +101

We measure the cross-correlation between the galaxy density in the Dark Energy Survey (DES) Science Verification data and the lensing of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) as re…

Galaxy alignments: Theory, modelling and simulations

Alina Kiessling, Marcello Cacciato, Benjamin Joachimi +8

The shapes of galaxies are not randomly oriented on the sky. During the galaxy formation and evolution process, environment has a strong influence, as tidal gravitational fields in…

Galaxy alignments: Observations and impact on cosmology

Donnacha Kirk, Michael L. Brown, Henk Hoekstra +10

Galaxy shapes are not randomly oriented, rather they are statistically aligned in a way that can depend on formation environment, history and galaxy type. Studying the alignment of…

Galaxy alignments: An overview

Benjamin Joachimi, Marcello Cacciato, Thomas D. Kitching +8

The alignments between galaxies, their underlying matter structures, and the cosmic web constitute vital ingredients for a comprehensive understanding of gravity, the nature of mat…

Cosmology from HI galaxy surveys with the SKA

Filipe B. Abdalla, Philip Bull, Stefano Camera +8

The Square Kilometer Array (SKA) has the potential to produce galaxy redshift surveys which will be competitive with other state of the art cosmological experiments in the next dec…

Synergy between the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope and the Square Kilometre Array

David Bacon, Sarah Bridle, Filipe B. Abdalla +18

We provide an overview of the science benefits of combining information from the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) and the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST). We first summarise the…

Cross correlation surveys with the Square Kilometre Array

Donnacha Kirk, Aurélien Benoit-Lévy, Filipe B. Abdalla +2

By the time that the first phase of the Square Kilometre Array is deployed it will be able to perform state of the art Large Scale Structure (LSS) as well as Weak Gravitational Len…
