Combining Strong and Weak Gravitational Lensing in Abell 1689
M. Limousin, J. Richard, E. Jullo +14
We present a reconstruction of the mass distribution of galaxy cluster Abell 1689 at z = 0.18 using detected strong lensing features from deep HST/ACS observations and extensive gr…
A very bright, highly magnified Lyman-break galaxy at z=3.07
Ian Smail, A. M. Swinbank, J. Richard +8
We report the discovery using Hubble Space Telescope imaging and Keck spectroscopy of a very bright, highly magnified (~30*) Lyman Break Galaxy (LBG) at z=3.07 in the field of the…
The type Ia supernova SNLS-03D3bb from a super-Chandrasekhar-mass white dwarf star
D. Andrew Howell, Mark Sullivan, Peter E. Nugent +14
The acceleration of the expansion of the universe, and the need for Dark Energy, were inferred from the observations of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia). There is consensus that SNe Ia…
The Shear TEsting Programme 2: Factors affecting high precision weak lensing analyses
Richard Massey, Catherine Heymans, Joel Berge +28
The Shear TEsting Programme (STEP) is a collaborative project to improve the accuracy and reliability of weak lensing measurement, in preparation for the next generation of wide-fi…
The All-wavelength Extended Groth Strip International Survey (AEGIS) Data Sets
M. Davis, P. Guhathakurta, N. Konidaris +53
In this the first of a series of Letters, we present a description of the panchromatic data sets that have been acquired in the Extended Groth Strip region of the sky. Our survey,…
The Rise Time of Type Ia Supernovae from the Supernova Legacy Survey
A. Conley, D. A. Howell, A. Howes +24
We compare the rise times of nearby and distant Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) as a test for evolution using 73 high-redshift spectroscopically-confirmed SNe Ia from the first two yea…
