The mass dependence of dark matter halo alignments with large-scale structure

Davide Piras, Benjamin Joachimi, Björn Malte Schäfer +3

Tidal gravitational forces can modify the shape of galaxies and clusters of galaxies, thus correlating their orientation with the surrounding matter density field. We study the dep…

KiDS-450: The tomographic weak lensing power spectrum and constraints on cosmological parameters

F. Köhlinger, M. Viola, B. Joachimi +13

We present measurements of the weak gravitational lensing shear power spectrum based on sq. deg. of imaging data from the Kilo Degree Survey. We employ a quadratic estimator…

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 $…

Dependence of GAMA galaxy halo masses on the cosmic web environment from 100 square degrees of KiDS weak lensing data

Margot M. Brouwer, Marcello Cacciato, Andrej Dvornik +31

Galaxies and their dark matter haloes are part of a complex network of mass structures, collectively called the cosmic web. Using the tidal tensor prescription these structures can…

CFHTLenS: Weak lensing constraints on the ellipticity of galaxy-scale matter haloes and the galaxy-halo misalignment

Tim Schrabback, Stefan Hilbert, Henk Hoekstra +16

We present weak lensing constraints on the ellipticity of galaxy-scale matter haloes and the galaxy-halo misalignment. Using data from the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Lensing Su…

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…
