Weak lensing measurements of dark matter halos of galaxies from COMBO-17

M. Kleinheinrich, P. Schneider, H. -W. Rix +8

We present a measurement of mass estimates for dark matter halos around galaxies from the COMBO-17 survey using weak gravitational lensing. COMBO-17 is particularly useful for this…

The evolution of faint AGN between z~1 and z~5 from the COMBO-17 survey

C. Wolf, L. Wisotzki, A. Borch +3

We present a determination of the optical/UV AGN luminosity function and its evolution, based on a large sample of faint (R<24) QSOs identified in the COMBO-17 survey. Using multi-…

The COMBO-17 Survey: Evolution of the Galaxy Luminosity Function from 25,000 Galaxies with 0.2<z<1.2

C. Wolf, K. Meisenheimer, H. -W. Rix +3

We present a detailed empirical assessment of how the galaxy luminosity function and stellar luminosity density evolves over the last half of the universe's age (0.2<z<1.2) for gal…

Probing the distribution of dark matter in the Abell 901/902 supercluster with weak lensing

M. E. Gray, A. N. Taylor, K. Meisenheimer +3

We present a weak shear analysis of the Abell 901/902 supercluster, composed of three rich clusters at z=0.16. Using a deep R-band image from the 0.5 x 0.5 degree MPG/ESO Wide Fiel…

Deep BVR photometry of the Chandra Deep Field South from the COMBO-17 survey

C. Wolf, S. Dye, M. Kleinheinrich +3

We report on deep multi-color imaging (R_5-sigma = 26) of the Chandra Deep Field South, obtained with the Wide Field Imager (WFI) at the MPG/ESO 2.2 m telescope on La Silla as part…

Measurement of intrinsic alignments in galaxy ellipticities

M. L. Brown, A. N. Taylor, N. C. Hambly +1

We measure the alignment of galaxy ellipticities in the local universe over a range of scales using digitized photographic data from the SuperCOSMOS Sky Survey. We find for a magni…
