Galaxy alignments: Theory, modelling and simulations
Alina Kiessling, Marcello Cacciato, Benjamin Joachimi +8
The shapes of galaxies are not randomly oriented on the sky. During the galaxy formation and evolution process, environment has a strong influence, as tidal gravitational fields in…
Galaxy alignments: Observations and impact on cosmology
Donnacha Kirk, Michael L. Brown, Henk Hoekstra +10
Galaxy shapes are not randomly oriented, rather they are statistically aligned in a way that can depend on formation environment, history and galaxy type. Studying the alignment of…
Galaxy alignments: An overview
Benjamin Joachimi, Marcello Cacciato, Thomas D. Kitching +8
The alignments between galaxies, their underlying matter structures, and the cosmic web constitute vital ingredients for a comprehensive understanding of gravity, the nature of mat…
Airships: A New Horizon for Science
Sarah H. Miller, Robert Fesen, Lynne Hillenbrand +33
The "Airships: A New Horizon for Science" study at the Keck Institute for Space Studies investigated the potential of a variety of airships currently operable or under development…
3D Cosmic Shear: Cosmology from CFHTLenS
T. D. Kitching, A. F. Heavens, J. Alsing +19
This paper presents the first application of 3D cosmic shear to a wide-field weak lensing survey. 3D cosmic shear is a technique that analyses weak lensing in three dimensions usin…
WFIRST-2.4: What Every Astronomer Should Know
D. Spergel, N. Gehrels, J. Breckinridge +43
The Astro2010 Decadal Survey recommended a Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST) as its top priority for a new large space mission. The report of the WFIRST-AFTA Science De…
