CFHTLenS tomographic weak lensing: Quantifying accurate redshift distributions
Jonathan Benjamin, Ludovic Van Waerbeke, Catherine Heymans +18
The Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Lensing Survey (CFHTLenS) comprises deep multi-colour (u*g'r'i'z') photometry spanning 154 square degrees, with accurate photometric redshifts an…
CFHTLenS: Testing the Laws of Gravity with Tomographic Weak Lensing and Redshift Space Distortions
Fergus Simpson, Catherine Heymans, David Parkinson +20
Dark energy may be the first sign of new fundamental physics in the Universe, taking either a physical form or revealing a correction to Einsteinian gravity. Weak gravitational len…
On the shear estimation bias induced by the spatial variation of colour across galaxy profiles
Elisabetta Semboloni, Henk Hoekstra, Zhuoyi Huang +13
The spatial variation of the colour of a galaxy may introduce a bias in the measurement of its shape if the PSF profile depends on wavelength. We study how this bias depends on the…
Flexion measurement in simulations of Hubble Space Telescope data
Barnaby Rowe, David Bacon, Richard Massey +5
We present a simulation analysis of weak gravitational lensing flexion and shear measurement using shapelet decomposition, and identify differences between flexion and shear measur…
Bayesian Galaxy Shape Measurement for Weak Lensing Surveys - III. Application to the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Lensing Survey
L. Miller, C. Heymans, T. D. Kitching +17
A likelihood-based method for measuring weak gravitational lensing shear in deep galaxy surveys is described and applied to the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT) Lensing Survey…
CFHTLenS: The Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Lensing Survey - Imaging Data and Catalogue Products
T. Erben, H. Hildebrandt, L. Miller +29
We present data products from the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Lensing Survey (CFHTLenS). CFHTLenS is based on the Wide component of the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Legacy Sur…
