Combined analysis of weak lensing and X-ray blind surveys
Joel Bergé, Florian Pacaud, Alexandre Réfrégier +7
We present a joint weak lensing and X-ray analysis of 4 deg from the CFHTLS and XMM-LSS surveys. Our weak lensing analysis is the first analysis of a real survey using shapelet…
The XMM-LSS Survey: A well controlled X-ray cluster sample over the D1 CFHTLS area
M. Pierre, F. Pacaud, P. -A. Duc +24
We present the XMM-LSS cluster catalogue corresponding to the CFHTLS D1 area. The list contains 13 spectroscopically confirmed, X-ray selected galaxy clusters over 0.8 deg2 to a re…
The OLS-lens survey: The discovery of five new galaxy-galaxy strong lenses from the SDSS
J. P. Willis, P. C. Hewett, S. J. Warren +2
Bright galaxy-galaxy strong lenses are much more powerful than lensed quasars for measuring the mass profiles of galaxies, but until this year only a handful have been known. Here…
The discovery of two new galaxy-galaxy lenses from the SDSS
J. P. Willis, P. C. Hewett, S. J. Warren
The gravitational lens configuration where a background galaxy is closely aligned with a foreground galaxy, can provide accurate measurement of the dark matter density profile in t…
The XMM-LSS survey. Survey design and first results
M. Pierre, I. Valtchanov, B. Altieri +36
We have designed a medium deep large area X-ray survey with XMM - the XMM Large Scale Structure survey, XMM-LSS - with the scope of extending the cosmological tests attempted using…
Luminous early-type field galaxies at z ~ 0.4 - II. Star-formation history and space density
J. P. Willis, P. C. Hewett, S. J. Warren +1
We present a combined photometric and spectroscopic analysis of the star formation history and space density of a sample of 485 luminous, M_V - 5 log h < -20.5, field early-type ga…
