Precise weak lensing constraints from deep high-resolution images: VLT/HAWK-I analysis of the super-massive galaxy cluster RCS2232727.7020437 at
Tim Schrabback, Mischa Schirmer, Remco F. J. van der Burg +16
We demonstrate that deep good-seeing VLT/HAWK-I images complemented with +-band photometry can yield a sensitivity for weak lensing studies of massive galaxy c…
XMM-Newton X-ray and HST weak gravitational lensing study of the extremely X-ray luminous galaxy cluster ClJ120958.9+495352 ()
Sophia Thölken, Tim Schrabback, Thomas H. Reiprich +6
Observations of relaxed, massive and distant clusters can provide important tests of standard cosmological models e.g. using the gas mass fraction. We study the very luminous, high…
Shear Nulling after PSF Gaussianisation: moment-based weak lensing measurements with subpercent noise bias
Ricardo Herbonnet, Axel Buddendiek, Konrad Kuijken
Current optical imaging surveys for cosmology are covering large areas of sky. To exploit the statistical power of these surveys for weak lensing measurements requires shape measur…
RCSLenS: The Red Cluster Sequence Lensing Survey
H. Hildebrandt, A. Choi, C. Heymans +19
We present the Red-sequence Cluster Lensing Survey (RCSLenS), an application of the methods developed for the Canada France Hawaii Telescope Lensing Survey (CFHTLenS) to the ~785de…
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…
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…
Gravitational Lensing Analysis of the Kilo Degree Survey
Konrad Kuijken, Catherine Heymans, Hendrik Hildebrandt +32
The Kilo-Degree Survey (KiDS) is a multi-band imaging survey designed for cosmological studies from weak lensing and photometric redshifts. It uses the ESO VLT Survey Telescope wit…
