GREAT3 results I: systematic errors in shear estimation and the impact of real galaxy morphology
Rachel Mandelbaum, Barnaby Rowe, Robert Armstrong +40
We present first results from the third GRavitational lEnsing Accuracy Testing (GREAT3) challenge, the third in a sequence of challenges for testing methods of inferring weak gravi…
Origins of weak lensing systematics, and requirements on future instrumentation (or knowledge of instrumentation)
Richard Massey, Henk Hoekstra, Thomas Kitching +11
The first half of this paper explores the origin of systematic biases in the measurement of weak gravitational lensing. Compared to previous work, we expand the investigation of PS…
Euclid Definition Study Report
R. Laureijs, J. Amiaux, S. Arduini +216
Euclid is a space-based survey mission from the European Space Agency designed to understand the origin of the Universe's accelerating expansion. It will use cosmological probes to…
Gravitational Lensing Accuracy Testing 2010 (GREAT10) Challenge Handbook
Thomas Kitching, Sreekumar Balan, Gary Bernstein +32
GRavitational lEnsing Accuracy Testing 2010 (GREAT10) is a public image analysis challenge aimed at the development of algorithms to analyze astronomical images. Specifically, the…
Abell 611: I. weak lensing analysis with LBC
A. Romano, L. Fu, F. Giordano +24
Aims. The Large Binocular Cameras (LBC) are two twin wide field cameras (FOV ~ 23'x 25') mounted at the prime foci of the 8.4m Large Binocular Telescope (LBT). We performed a weak…
The POINT-AGAPE Survey: Comparing Automated Searches of Microlensing Events toward M31
Y. Tsapras, B. J. Carr, M. J. Weston +4
Searching for microlensing in M31 using automated superpixel surveys raises a number of difficulties which are not present in more conventional techniques. Here we focus on the pro…
