KiDS-450: Cosmological Constraints from Weak Lensing Peak Statistics-I: Inference from Analytical Prediction of High Signal-to-Noise Ratio Convergence Peaks
HuanYuan Shan, Xiangkun Liu, Hendrik Hildebrandt +19
This paper is the first of a series of papers constraining cosmological parameters with weak lensing peak statistics using of imaging data from the Kilo Degree…
KiDS-450: Cosmological Constraints from Weak Lensing Peak Statistics - II: Inference from Shear Peaks using N-body Simulations
Nicolas Martinet, Peter Schneider, Hendrik Hildebrandt +12
We study the statistics of peaks in a weak lensing reconstructed mass map of the first 450 square degrees of the Kilo Degree Survey. The map is computed with aperture masses direct…
KiDS-450 + 2dFLenS: Cosmological parameter constraints from weak gravitational lensing tomography and overlapping redshift-space galaxy clustering
Shahab Joudaki, Chris Blake, Andrew Johnson +19
We perform a combined analysis of cosmic shear tomography, galaxy-galaxy lensing tomography, and redshift-space multipole power spectra (monopole and quadrupole) using 450 deg…
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…
The abundance of ultra-diffuse galaxies from groups to clusters: UDGs are relatively more common in more massive haloes
Remco F. J. van der Burg, Henk Hoekstra, Adam Muzzin +17
In recent years, multiple studies have reported substantial populations of large, low-surface-brightness galaxies in local galaxy clusters. Various theories that aim to explain the…
Learning from FITS: Limitations in use in modern astronomical research
Brian Thomas, Tim Jenness, Frossie Economou +35
The Flexible Image Transport System (FITS) standard has been a great boon to astronomy, allowing observatories, scientists and the public to exchange astronomical information easil…
