Growth from KiDS: Stellar mass assembly of galaxies since z=2 in the light of Kilo-Degree Survey

Qingshan Wang, Antonios Katsianis, Nicola R. Napolitano +10

We measure the galaxy stellar mass function at using 28M galaxies from the KiDS DR4 which spans an effective survey area of 676.9 deg. Combining nine-band photometry…

LenNet: Direct Detection and Localization of Strong Gravitational Lenses in Wide-Field Sky Survey Images

Pufan Liu, Hui Li, Ziqi Li +9

Strong gravitational lenses are invaluable tools for addressing fundamental questions in astrophysics, from the nature of dark matter to the expansion of the universe. While curren…

CASCO: Cosmological and AStrophysical parameters from Cosmological simulations and Observations IV. Testing warm dark matter cosmologies with galaxy scaling relations: A joint simulation-observation study using DREAMS simulations

M. Silvestrini, C. Tortora, V. Busillo +9

Small-scale discrepancies in the standard Lambda cold dark matter paradigm have motivated the exploration of alternative dark matter (DM) models, such as warm dark matter (WDM). We…

CASCO: Cosmological and AStrophysical parameters from Cosmological simulations and Observations III. The physics behind the emergence of the golden mass scale

C. Tortora, V. Busillo, N. R. Napolitano +5

We investigate the origin and evolution of the "golden mass" (halo mass , stellar mass ), linked to peak star f…

DenseLens -- Using DenseNet ensembles and information criteria for finding and rank-ordering strong gravitational lenses,

Bharath Chowdhary Nagam, Léon V. E. Koopmans, Edwin A. Valentijn +5

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are the state-of-the-art technique for identifying strong gravitational lenses. Although they are highly successful in recovering genuine lens…

Multi-band analysis of strong gravitationally lensed post-blue nugget candidates from the Kilo-Degree Survey

Rui Li, Nicola R. Napolitano, Linghua Xie +7

During the early stages of galaxy evolution, a significant fraction of galaxies undergo a transitional phase between the ``blue nugget" systems, which arise from the compaction of…
