The galaxy-dark matter bias in the Garching-Bonn Deep Survey
Patrick Simon, Peter Schneider, Thomas Erben +3
We measured the bias and correlation factor of galaxies with respect to the dark matter using the aperture statistics including the aperture mass from weak gravitational lensing. T…
GaBoDS: The Garching-Bonn Deep Survey -- II. Confirmation of EIS cluster candidates by weak gravitational lensing
Mischa Schirmer, Thomas Erben, Peter Schneider +2
We report the first confirmation of colour-selected galaxy cluster candidates by means of weak gravitational lensing. Significant lensing signals were identified in the course of t…
Cosmic Shear from STIS pure parallels: III. Analysis of Cycle 9 pure parallels
J. -M. Miralles, T. Erben, H. Haemmerle +4
Following the detection of a cosmic shear signal at the 30'' scale using archival parallel data from the STIS CCD camera onboard HST in Haemmerle et al. (2002), we analyzed a large…
GaBoDS: The Garching-Bonn Deep Survey -- I. Anatomy of galaxy clusters in the background of NGC 300
Mischa Schirmer, Thomas Erben, Peter Schneider +4
The Garching-Bonn Deep Survey (GaBoDS) is a virtual 12 square degree cosmic shear and cluster lensing survey, conducted with the [email protected] MPG/ESO telescope at La Silla. It consists…
Galaxy-galaxy lensing results from COMBO-17
Martina Kleinheinrich, Peter Schneider, Thomas Erben +4
We use galaxy-galaxy lensing to study the statistical properties of the dark matter halos of galaxies. Our data is taken from the COMBO-17 survey which has imaged 1 square degree i…
Weak lensing study of Abell 2029
Brice Menard, Thomas Erben, Yannick Mellier
Abell 2029 is one of the most studied clusters due to its proximity (z=0.07), its strong X-ray brightness and its giant cD galaxy which is one of the biggest stellar aggregates we…
