Impact of modulation on CMB B-mode polarization experiments
Michael L. Brown, Anthony Challinor, Chris E. North +3
We investigate the impact of both slow and fast polarization modulation strategies on the science return of upcoming ground-based experiments aimed at measuring the B-mode polariza…
Cosmological constraints from COMBO-17 using 3D weak lensing
T. D. Kitching, A. F. Heavens, A. N. Taylor +5
We present the first application of the 3D cosmic shear method developed in Heavens et al. (2006) and the geometric shear-ratio analysis developed in Taylor et al. (2006), to the C…
Likelihood methods for the combined analysis of CMB temperature and polarisation power spectra
Will J. Percival, Michael L. Brown
We consider the shape of the likelihood and posterior surfaces to be used when fitting cosmological models to CMB temperature and polarisation power spectra measured from experimen…
The Shear TEsting Programme 1: Weak lensing analysis of simulated ground-based observations
Catherine Heymans, Ludovic Van Waerbeke, David Bacon +22
The Shear TEsting Programme, STEP, is a collaborative project to improve the accuracy and reliability of all weak lensing measurements in preparation for the next generation of wid…
Cosmological weak lensing with the HST GEMS survey
Catherine Heymans, Michael L. Brown, Marco Barden +16
We present our cosmic shear analysis of GEMS, one of the largest wide-field surveys ever undertaken by the Hubble Space Telescope. Imaged with the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS)…
An Enlarged Cosmic Shear Survey with the William Herschel Telescope
Richard Massey, Alexandre Refregier, David J. Bacon +2
We report the results of a cosmic shear survey using the 4.2m William Herschel Telescope on La Palma, to a depth of R=25.8 (z~0.8), over 4 square degrees. The shear correlation fun…
Weak lensing with COMBO-17: estimation and removal of intrinsic alignments
Catherine Heymans, Michael Brown, Alan Heavens +3
We estimate and remove the contamination of weak gravitational lensing measurements by the intrinsic alignment of close pairs of galaxies. We do this by investigating both the aper…
Measurement of intrinsic alignments in galaxy ellipticities
M. L. Brown, A. N. Taylor, N. C. Hambly +1
We measure the alignment of galaxy ellipticities in the local universe over a range of scales using digitized photographic data from the SuperCOSMOS Sky Survey. We find for a magni…
