The Tucana dwarf spheroidal galaxy: not such a massive failure after all

Context. Isolated local group (LG) dwarf galaxies have evolved most or all of their life unaffected by interactions with the large LG spirals and therefore offer the opportunity to learn about the intrinsic characteristics of this class of objects. Aims. O ...

Deep Cfht Y-Band Imaging Of Vvds-F22 Field. I. Data Products And Photometric Redshifts

Huanyuan Shan

We present our deep Y-band imaging data of a two square degree field within the F22 region of the VIMOS VLT Deep Survey. The observations were conducted using the WIRCam instrument mounted at the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT). The total on-sky time ...

Hubble Frontier Fields: predictions for the return of SN Refsdal with the MUSE and GMOS spectrographs

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

We present a high-precision mass model of the galaxy cluster MACS J1149.6+ 2223, based on a strong gravitational lensing analysis of Hubble Space Telescope Frontier Fields (HFF) imaging data and spectroscopic follow-up with Gemini/Gemini Multi-Object Spect ...

The 0.1 < z < 1.65 evolution of the bright end of the [O II] luminosity function

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Jun Ma, David Schlegel, Timothée Guy Olivier Delubac

We present the [O II] (lambda lambda 3729; 3726) luminosity function measured in the redshift range 0.1 < z < 1.65 with unprecedented depth and accuracy. Our measurements are based on medium resolution flux-calibrated spectra of emission line galaxies with ...

Spectroscopic needs for imaging dark energy experiments

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib

Ongoing and near-future imaging-based dark energy experiments are critically dependent upon photometric redshifts (a.k.a. photo-z's): i.e., estimates of the redshifts of objects based only on flux information obtained through broad filters. Higher-quality, ...

ARE ULTRA-FAINT GALAXIES AT z=6-8 RESPONSIBLE FOR COSMIC REIONIZATION? COMBINED CONSTRAINTS FROM THE HUBBLE FRONTIER FIELDS CLUSTERS AND PARALLELS

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

We use deep Hubble Space Telescope imaging of the Frontier Fields to accurately measure the galaxy rest-frame ultraviolet luminosity function (UV LF) in the redshift range z similar to 6-8. We combine observations in three lensing clusters, A2744, MACS 041 ...

Design and operation of FACT - the first G-APD Cherenkov telescope

Mathieu Ribordy, Camille Haller, Thomas Günther Bretz

The First G-APD Cherenkov Telescope (FACT) is designed to detect cosmic gamma-rays with energies from several hundred GeV up to about 10 TeV using the Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Technique. In contrast to former or existing telescopes, the camera of the ...

A Raman lidar to measure water vapor in the atmospheric boundary layer

Hubert van den Bergh, Marc Parlange, Eric Richard Pardyjak, Valentin Simeonov, Chad Higgins, Martin Froidevaux

A new multi-telescope scanning Raman lidar designed to measure the water vapor mixing ratio in the atmospheric boundary layer for a complete diurnal cycle with high resolution spatial (1.25 m) and temporal (1 s) resolutions is presented. The high resolutio ...

Spectroscopy of extended Ly alpha envelopes around z=4.5 quasars

Frédéric Courbin, Pierre North, Alexander Patrick Eigenbrod

What are the frequency, shape, kinematics, and luminosity of Ly alpha envelopes surrounding radio-quiet quasars at high redshift, and is the luminosity of these envelopes related to that of the quasar or not? As a first step towards answering these questio ...

Astrophysical applications of gravitationally lensed quasars : from dark matter halos to the structure of quasar accretion disks

Alexander Patrick Eigenbrod

Gravitational lensing describes how light is deflected as it passes in the vicinity of a mass distribution. The amplitude of the deflection is proportional to the mass of the deflector, called "gravitational lens", and is generally weak, even for large mas ...

Deep optical spectroscopy of extended Ly alpha emission around three radio-quiet z=4.5 quasars

Frédéric Courbin, Pierre North, Alexander Patrick Eigenbrod

We report the first results of a spectroscopic search for Ly alpha envelopes around three z similar to 4.5 radio-quiet quasars. Our observational strategy adopts the FORS2 spectrograph mounted to the UT1 of the Very Large Telescope (VLT) in the multi-slit ...
