Measuring subhalo mass in redMaPPer clusters with CFHT Stripe 82 Survey

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Huanyuan Shan

We use the shear catalogue from the CFHT Stripe-82 Survey to measure the subhalo masses of satellite galaxies in redMaPPer clusters. Assuming a Chabrier initial mass function and a truncated NFW model for the subhalo mass distribution, we find that the sub ...

Are long gamma-ray bursts biased tracers of star formation? Clues from the host galaxies of the Swift/BAT6 complete sample of bright LGRBs II. Star formation rates and metallicities at z < 1

Hakim Atek

Aims. Long gamma-ray bursts (LGRBs) are associated with the deaths of massive stars and might therefore be a potentially powerful tool for tracing cosmic star formation. However, especially at low redshifts (z < 1.5) LGRBs seem to prefer particular types o ...

The Tenth Data Release Of The Sloan Digital Sky Survey: First Spectroscopic Data From The Sdss-Iii Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, David Schlegel, Timothée Guy Olivier Delubac, Zheng Zheng, Ginevra Favole

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) has been in operation since 2000 April. This paper presents the Tenth Public Data Release (DR10) from its current incarnation, SDSS-III. This data release includes the first spectroscopic data from the Apache Point Obser ...

Hubble Space Telescope Grism Spectroscopy Of Extreme Starbursts Across Cosmic Time: The Role Of Dwarf Galaxies In The Star Formation History Of The Universe

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Hakim Atek

Near infrared slitless spectroscopy with the Wide Field Camera 3, on board the Hubble Space Telescope, offers a unique opportunity to study low-mass galaxy populations at high redshift (z similar to 1-2). While most high-z surveys are biased toward massive ...

The first Frontier Fields cluster: 4.5 mu m excess in a z similar to 8 galaxy candidate in Abell 2744

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Hakim Atek, Benjamin Yvan Alexandre Clement

Aims. We present in this letter the first analysis of a: 8 galaxy candidate found in the Hubble and Spitzer imaging data of Abell 2744 as part of the Hubble Frontier Fields legacy program. Methods. We applied the most commonly used methods to select except ...

Interpolating point spread function anisotropy

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Marc Gentile

Planned wide-field weak lensing surveys are expected to reduce the statistical errors on the shear field to unprecedented levels. In contrast, systematic errors like those induced by the convolution with the point spread function (PSF) will not benefit fro ...

Predicting Future Space Near-Ir Grism Surveys Using The Wfc3 Infrared Spectroscopic Parallels Survey

Hakim Atek

We present near-infrared emission line counts and luminosity functions from the Hubble Space Telescope Wide Field Camera 3 Infrared Spectroscopic Parallels (WISP) program for 29 fields (0.037 deg(2)) observed using both the G102 and G141 grism. Altogether ...

Flares from a candidate Galactic magnetar suggest a missing link to dim isolated neutron stars

Andrea Kraus

Magnetars(1) are young neutron stars with very strong magnetic fields of the order of 10(14)-10(15) G. They are detected in our Galaxy either as soft gamma-ray repeaters or anomalous X-ray pulsars. Soft gamma-ray repeaters are a rare type of gamma-ray tran ...
