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…
The-wiZZ: Clustering redshift estimation for everyone
Christopher B. Morrison, Hendrik Hildebrandt, Samuel J. Schmidt +5
We present The-wiZZ, an open source and user-friendly software for estimating the redshift distributions of photometric galaxies with unknown redshifts by spatially cross-correlati…
Weak-lensing shear estimates with general adaptive moments, and studies of bias by pixellation, PSF distortions, and noise
Patrick Simon, Peter Schneider
In weak gravitational lensing, weighted quadrupole moments of the brightness profile in galaxy images are a common way to estimate gravitational shear. We employ general adaptive m…
HIFLUGCS: X-ray luminosity -- dynamical mass relation and its implications for mass calibrations with the SPIDERS and 4MOST surveys
Yu-Ying Zhang, Thomas H. Reiprich, Peter Schneider +7
We present the X-ray luminosity (L) versus dynamical mass (M) relation for 63 nearby clusters in the HIFLUGCS. The luminosity measurements are obtained based on ~1.3 Ms of clean XM…
Confronting semi-analytic galaxy models with galaxy-matter correlations observed by CFHTLenS
Hananeh Saghiha, Patrick Simon, Peter Schneider +1
Testing predictions of semi-analytic models of galaxy evolution against observations help to understand the complex processes that shape galaxies. We compare predictions from the G…
