Weak lensing mass map and peak statistics in Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Stripe 82 survey
HuanYuan Shan, Jean-Paul Kneib, Johan Comparat +10
We present a weak lensing mass map covering ~124 square degrees of the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Stripe 82 Survey (CS82). We study the statistics of rare peaks in the map, inc…
CFHTLenS: Co-evolution of galaxies and their dark matter haloes
Michael J. Hudson, Bryan R. Gillis, Jean Coupon +16
Galaxy-galaxy weak lensing is a direct probe of the mean matter distribution around galaxies. The depth and sky coverage of the CFHT Legacy Survey yield statistically significant g…
Detection of warm and diffuse baryons in large scale structure from the cross-correlation of gravitational lensing and the thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect
Ludovic Van Waerbeke, Gary Hinshaw, Norman Murray
We report the first detection of a correlation between gravitational lensing by large scale structure and the thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich (tSZ) effect. Using the mass map from the Ca…
Cluster Magnification & the Mass-Richness Relation in CFHTLenS
Jes Ford, Hendrik Hildebrandt, Ludovic Van Waerbeke +4
Gravitational lensing magnification is measured with a significance of 9.7 sigma on a large sample of galaxy clusters in the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Lensing Survey (CFHTLenS…
CFHTLenS: The relation between galaxy dark matter haloes and baryons from weak gravitational lensing
Malin Velander, Edo van Uitert, Henk Hoekstra +16
We present a study of the relation between dark matter halo mass and the baryonic content of host galaxies, quantified via luminosity and stellar mass. Our investigation uses 154 d…
CFHTLenS tomographic weak lensing cosmological parameter constraints: Mitigating the impact of intrinsic galaxy alignments
Catherine Heymans, Emma Grocutt, Alan Heavens +21
We present a finely-binned tomographic weak lensing analysis of the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Lensing Survey, CFHTLenS, mitigating contamination to the signal from the presenc…
