RCSLenS: Cosmic Distances from Weak Lensing
T. D. Kitching, M. Viola, H. Hildebrandt +7
In this paper we present results of applying the shear-ratio method to the RCSLenS data. The method takes the ratio of the mean of the weak lensing tangential shear signal about ga…
RCSLenS: A new estimator for large-scale galaxy-matter correlations
A. Buddendiek, P. Schneider, H. Hildebrandt +9
We present measurements of the galaxy bias and the galaxy-matter cross-correlation coefficient for the BOSS LOWZ luminous red galaxy sample. Using a new statistical weak le…
CFHTLenS and RCSLenS: Testing Photometric Redshift Distributions Using Angular Cross-Correlations with Spectroscopic Galaxy Surveys
Ami Choi, Catherine Heymans, Chris Blake +6
We determine the accuracy of galaxy redshift distributions as estimated from photometric redshift probability distributions . Our method utilises measurements of the angular…
The first and second data releases of the Kilo-Degree Survey
Jelte T. A. de Jong, Gijs A. Verdoes Kleijn, Danny R. Boxhoorn +46
The Kilo-Degree Survey (KiDS) is an optical wide-field imaging survey carried out with the VLT Survey Telescope and the OmegaCAM camera. KiDS will image 1500 square degrees in four…
Dark matter halo properties of GAMA galaxy groups from 100 square degrees of KiDS weak lensing data
M. Viola, M. Cacciato, M. Brouwer +24
The Kilo-Degree Survey (KiDS) is an optical wide-field survey designed to map the matter distribution in the Universe using weak gravitational lensing. In this paper, we use these…
RCSLenS: Testing gravitational physics through the cross-correlation of weak lensing and large-scale structure
Chris Blake, Shahab Joudaki, Catherine Heymans +8
The unknown nature of dark energy motivates continued cosmological tests of large-scale gravitational physics. We present a new consistency check based on the relative amplitude of…
