Euclid preparation. XXIX. Water ice in spacecraft part I: The physics of ice formation and contamination

Euclid Collaboration, M. Schirmer, K. Thürmer +218

Molecular contamination is a well-known problem in space flight. Water is the most common contaminant and alters numerous properties of a cryogenic optical system. Too much ice mea…

KiDS-450: Cosmological parameter constraints from tomographic weak gravitational lensing

H. Hildebrandt, M. Viola, C. Heymans +33

We present cosmological parameter constraints from a tomographic weak gravitational lensing analysis of ~450deg of imaging data from the Kilo Degree Survey (KiDS). For a flat $…

CARS: The CFHTLS-Archive-Research Survey II. Weighing dark matter halos of Lyman-break galaxies at z=3-5

H. Hildebrandt, J. Pielorz, T. Erben +3

Aims: We measure the clustering properties for a large samples of u- (z~3), g- (z~4), and r- (z~5) dropouts from the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Legacy Survey (CFHTLS) Deep fiel…

The non-Gaussianity of the cosmic shear likelihood - or: How odd is the Chandra Deep Field South?

J. Hartlap, T. Schrabback, P. Simon +1

(abridged) We study the validity of the approximation of a Gaussian cosmic shear likelihood. We estimate the true likelihood for a fiducial cosmological model from a large set of r…

Relative clustering and the joint halo occupation distribution of red-sequence and blue-cloud galaxies in COMBO-17

P. Simon, M. Hetterscheidt, C. Wolf +5

This paper studies the relative spatial distribution of red-sequence and blue-cloud galaxies, and their relation to the dark matter distribution in the COMBO-17 survey as function…

First detection of galaxy-galaxy-galaxy lensing in RCS. A new tool for studying the matter environment of galaxy pairs

P. Simon, P. Watts, P. Schneider +5

The weak gravitational lensing effect, small coherent distortions of galaxy images by means of a gravitational tidal field, can be used to study the relation between the matter and…
