First test of Verlinde's theory of Emergent Gravity using Weak Gravitational Lensing measurements
Margot M. Brouwer, Manus R. Visser, Andrej Dvornik +19
Verlinde (2016) proposed that the observed excess gravity in galaxies and clusters is the consequence of Emergent Gravity (EG). In this theory the standard gravitational laws are m…
The 2-degree Field Lensing Survey: photometric redshifts from a large new training sample to r<19.5
Christian Wolf, Andrew Johnson, Maciej Bilicki +13
We present a new training set for estimating empirical photometric redshifts of galaxies, which was created as part of the 2dFLenS project. This training set is located in a 700 sq…
2dFLenS and KiDS: Determining source redshift distributions with cross-correlations
Andrew Johnson, Chris Blake, Alexandra Amon +16
We develop a statistical estimator to infer the redshift probability distribution of a photometric sample of galaxies from its angular cross-correlation in redshift bins with an ov…
The Astropy Problem
Demitri Muna, Michael Alexander, Alice Allen +151
The Astropy Project (http://astropy.org) is, in its own words, "a community effort to develop a single core package for Astronomy in Python and foster interoperability between Pyth…
KiDS-450: Testing extensions to the standard cosmological model
Shahab Joudaki, Alexander Mead, Chris Blake +16
We test extensions to the standard cosmological model with weak gravitational lensing tomography using 450 deg of imaging data from the Kilo Degree Survey (KiDS). In these exte…
Halo ellipticity of GAMA galaxy groups from KiDS weak lensing
Edo van Uitert, Henk Hoekstra, Benjamin Joachimi +14
We constrain the average halo ellipticity of ~2 600 galaxy groups from the Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA) survey, using the weak gravitational lensing signal measured from the ove…
