Euclid preparation: LXV. Determining the weak lensing mass accuracy and precision for galaxy clusters

The ability to measure unbiased weak-lensing (WL) masses is a key ingredient to exploit galaxy clusters as a competitive cosmological probe with the ESA Euclid survey or future missions. We investigate the level of accuracy and precision of cluster masses ...

LXXI. Simulations and nonlinearities beyond ΛCDM. 3. Constraints on f(R) models from the photometric primary probes

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan

We study the constraint on f(R) gravity that can be obtained by photometric primary probes of the Euclid mission. Our focus is the dependence of the constraint on the theoretical modelling of the nonlinear matter power spectrum. In the Hu–Sawicki f(R) grav ...

Euclid and KiDS-1000: Quantifying the impact of source-lens clustering on cosmic shear analyses

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan

Cosmic shear is a powerful probe of cosmological models and the transition from current Stage-III surveys such as the Kilo-Degree Survey (KiDS) to the increased area and redshift range of Stage IV surveys such as Euclid will significantly increase the prec ...

The AGORA High-Resolution Galaxy Simulations Comparison Project VII. Satellite quenching in zoom-in simulation of a Milky Way-mass halo

Yves Revaz

Context. Satellite galaxies experience multiple physical processes when interacting with their host halos, often leading to the quenching of star formation. In the Local Group, satellite quenching has been shown to be highly efficient, affecting nearly all ...

Euclid: Early Release Observations of diffuse stellar structures and globular clusters as probes of the mass assembly of galaxies in the Dorado group?

Georges Meylan, Olivia Mueller

Deep surveys have helped to unveil the history of past and present galaxy mergers, and, in particular, uncovering their tidal debris and co-located globular clusters (GCs). Euclid’s unique combination of capabilities (spatial resolution, depth, and wide sk ...

Intergalactic magnetism in a γ -ray beam as a model of Porphyrion

Andrii Neronov

We estimate the magnetic field in the jets of the recently discovered 7 Mpc long Porphyrion system. We used nondetection of the system in gamma-rays to derive a lower bound on the co-moving magnetic field strength at the level of 10 nG (comoving). This val ...

CURLING - I. The influence of point-like image approximation on the outcomes of cluster strong lens modelling

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Huanyuan Shan, Nan Li

Cluster-scale strong lensing is a powerful tool for exploring the properties of dark matter and constraining cosmological models. However, due to the complex parameter space, pixelized strong lens modelling in galaxy clusters is computationally expensive, ...

Strong gravitational lensing's 'external shear' is not shear

David Richard Harvey

The distribution of mass in galaxy-scale strong gravitational lenses is often modelled as an elliptical power-law plus 'external shear', which notionally accounts for neighbouring galaxies and cosmic shear along our line of sight. A small amount of externa ...

White dwarfs as a probe of exceptionally light QCD axions

Stefan Stelzl

We study the effects of exceptionally light QCD axions on the stellar configuration of white dwarfs. At finite baryon density, the nonderivative coupling of the axion to nucleons displaces the axion from its invacuum minimum, which implies a reduction of t ...
