Euclid preparation: X. The Euclid photometric-redshift challenge

Euclid Collaboration, G. Desprez, S. Paltani +170

Forthcoming large photometric surveys for cosmology require precise and accurate photometric redshift (photo-z) measurements for the success of their main science objectives. Howev…

Red & Dead CANDELS: massive passive galaxies at the dawn of the Universe

E. Merlin, F. Fortuni, M. Torelli +7

We search the five CANDELS fields (COSMOS, EGS, GOODS-North, GOODS-South and UDS) for passively evolving a.k.a. "red and dead" massive galaxies in the first 2 Gyr after the Big Ban…

Passive galaxies in the early Universe: ALMA confirmation of z~3-5 candidates in the CANDELS GOODS-South field

P. Santini, E. Merlin, A. Fontana +7

The selection of red, passive galaxies in the early Universe is very challenging, especially beyond z~3, and it is crucial to constrain theoretical modelling of the processes respo…

UV slope of z3 bright () Lyman-break galaxies in the COSMOS field

S. Pilo, M. Castellano, A. Fontana +7

We analyse a unique sample of 517 bright () LBGs at redshift z3 in order to characterise the distribution of their UV slopes and infer their dust extinction unde…

Euclid Preparation IV. Impact of undetected galaxies on weak-lensing shear measurements

Euclid Collaboration, N. Martinet, T. Schrabback +22

In modern weak-lensing surveys, the common approach to correct for residual systematic biases in the shear is to calibrate shape measurement algorithms using simulations. These sim…

A-PHOT: a new, versatile code for precision aperture photometry

E. Merlin, S. Pilo, A. Fontana +5

We present A-PHOT, a new publicly available code for performing aperture photometry on astronomical images, that is particularly well suited for multi-band extragalactic surveys. A…
