Reaching for the Edge I: Probing the Outskirts of Massive Galaxies with HSC, DECaLS, SDSS, and Dragonfly

Jiaxuan Li, Song Huang, Alexie Leauthaud +9

The outer light (stellar halos) of massive galaxies has recently emerged as a possible low scatter tracer of dark matter halo mass. To test the robustness of outer light measuremen…

Stellar and Weak Lensing Profiles of Massive Galaxies in the Hyper-Suprime Cam Survey and in Hydrodynamic Simulations

Felipe Ardila, Song Huang, Alexie Leauthaud +11

We perform a consistent comparison of the mass and mass profiles of massive () central galaxies at z~0.4 from deep Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) observation…

Galaxy-Galaxy Lensing in HSC: Validation Tests and the Impact of Heterogeneous Spectroscopic Training Sets

Joshua S. Speagle, Alexie Leauthaud, Song Huang +9

Although photometric redshifts (photo-z's) are crucial ingredients for current and upcoming large-scale surveys, the high-quality spectroscopic redshifts currently available to tra…

Deep+Wide Lensing Surveys will Provide Exquisite Measurements of the Dark Matter Halos of Dwarf Galaxies

Alexie Leauthaud, Sukhdeep Singh, Yifei Luo +5

The advent of new deep+wide photometric lensing surveys will open up the possibility of direct measurements of the dark matter halos of dwarf galaxies. The HSC wide survey will be…

Weak Lensing Reveals a Tight Connection Between Dark Matter Halo Mass and the Distribution of Stellar Mass in Massive Galaxies

Song Huang, Alexie Leauthaud, Andrew Hearin +9

Using deep images from the Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) survey and taking advantage of its unprecedented weak lensing capabilities, we reveal a remarkably tight connection between the s…

Shocked POststarburst Galaxy Survey. III. The Ultraviolet Properties of SPOGs

Felipe Ardila, Katherine Alatalo, Lauranne Lanz +11

The Shocked POststarburst Galaxy Survey (SPOGS) aims to identify galaxies in the transitional phase between actively star-forming and quiescence with nebular lines that are excited…

The XXL survey XV: Evidence for dry merger driven BCG growth in XXL-100-GC X-ray clusters

S. Lavoie, J. P. Willis, J. Democles +33

The growth of brightest cluster galaxies is closely related to the properties of their host cluster. We present evidence for dry mergers as the dominant source of BCG mass growth a…
