Phenotypic redshifts with self-organizing maps: A novel method to characterize redshift distributions of source galaxies for weak lensing

Eduardo Sanchez, Romain Buchs

Wide-field imaging surveys such as the Dark Energy Survey (DES) rely on coarse measurements of spectral energy distributions in a few filters to estimate the redshift distribution of source galaxies. In this regime, sample variance, shot noise, and selecti ...

Study of the solar anisotropy of cosmic ray primaries of about 200 GeV energy with the L3+C muon detector

Eduardo Sanchez, Horst Arthur Vogel, Aurelio Bay, Jian Zhao, Liang Sun, Qian Wang, Zhirui Xu

Context. Primary cosmic rays experience multiple deflections in the non-uniform galactic and heliospheric magnetic fields which may generate anisotropies. Aims. A study of anisotropies in the energy range between 100 and 500 GeV is performed. This energy r ...
