Comparing Compressed and Full-Modeling analyses with FOLPS: implications for DESI 2024 and beyond

The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) will provide unprecedented information about the large-scale structure of our Universe. In this work, we study the robustness of the theoretical modelling of the power spectrum of FOLPS, a novel effective fie ...

Euclid I. Overview of the Euclid mission

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Pascale Jablonka, Michaela Hirschmann, Yves Revaz, Austin Chandler Peel, Lucie Anemone Scharré, Bastien Clément

The current standard model of cosmology successfully describes a variety of measurements, but the nature of its main ingredients, dark matter and dark energy, remains unknown. Euclid is a medium-class mission in the Cosmic Vision 2015–2025 programme of the ...

Virgo Filaments. V. Disrupting the Baryon Cycle in the NGC 5364 Galaxy Group

Pascale Jablonka, Yannick Michael Bahé, Damien Louis Alexandre Spérone-Longin, Gautam Ramakrishnan Nagaraj

The Virgo Filament Survey (VFS) is a comprehensive study of galaxies that reside in the extended filamentary structures surrounding the Virgo Cluster, out to 12 virial radii. The primary goal is to characterize all of the dominant baryonic components withi ...

Here There Be (dusty) Monsters: High-redshift Active Galactic Nuclei Are Dustier Than Their Hosts

Michaela Hirschmann

JWST spectroscopy has discovered a population of z greater than or similar to 3.5 galaxies with broad Balmer emission lines and narrow forbidden lines that are consistent with hosting active galactic nuclei (AGN). Many of these systems, now known as "littl ...

Euclid: Searches for strong gravitational lenses using convolutional neural nets in Early Release Observations of the Perseus field

Georges Meylan, Benjamin Yvan Alexandre Clement, Olivia Mueller

The Euclid Wide Survey (EWS) is predicted to find approximately 170 000 galaxy-galaxy strong lenses from its lifetime observation of 14 000 deg2 of the sky. Detecting this many lenses by visual inspection with professional astronomers and citizen scientist ...

Characterising the z ≈ 7.66 Type-II AGN candidate SMACS S06355 using BEAGLE-AGN and JWST NIRSpec/NIRCam

Michaela Hirschmann, Adèle Marie Françoise Plat

The presence of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) in low mass (M⋆ ≲ 109 M⊙) galaxies at high redshift has been established, and it is important to characterise these objects and the impact of their feedback on the host galaxies. In this paper we apply the Spect ...

A comparison of effective field theory models of redshift space galaxy power spectra for DESI 2024 and future surveys

Antoine Philippe Jacques Rocher

In preparation for the next generation of galaxy redshift surveys, and in particular the year-one data release from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI), we investigate the consistency of a variety of effective field theory models that describe ...

Euclid preparation: XLII. A unified catalogue-level reanalysis of weak lensing by galaxy clusters in five imaging surveys

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Austin Chandler Peel

Precise and accurate mass calibration is required to exploit galaxy clusters as astrophysical and cosmological probes in the Euclid era. Systematic errors in lensing signals by galaxy clusters can be empirically estimated by comparing different surveys wit ...

Euclid preparation XXXIII. Characterization of convolutional neural networks for the identification of galaxy-galaxy strong-lensing events

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Georgios Vernardos, Benjamin Yvan Alexandre Clement

Forthcoming imaging surveys will increase the number of known galaxy-scale strong lenses by several orders of magnitude. For this to happen, images of billions of galaxies will have to be inspected to identify potential candidates. In this context, deep-le ...

The diverse star formation histories of early massive, quenched galaxies in modern galaxy formation simulations

Michaela Hirschmann

We present a comprehensive study of the star formation histories of massive-quenched galaxies at z = 3 in three semi-analytical models (SHARK, GAEA, GALFORM) and three cosmological hydrodynamical simulations (EAGLE, ILLUSTRISTNG, SIMBA). We study the predi ...

BEAGLE-AGN I: simultaneous constraints on the properties of gas in star-forming and AGN narrow-line regions in galaxies

Michaela Hirschmann

We present the addition of nebular emission from the narrow-line regions (NLR) surrounding active galactic nuclei (AGNs) to BEAGLE (BayEsian Analysis of GaLaxy sEds). Using a set of idealized spectra, we fit to a set of observables (emission-line ratios an ...

The impact of stochastic modelling on the predictive power of galaxy formation simulations

Yannick Michael Bahé

All modern galaxy formation models employ stochastic elements in their sub-grid prescriptions to discretize continuous equations across the time domain. In this paper, we investigate how the stochastic nature of these models, notably star formation, black ...

Discovery of two bright high-redshift gravitationally lensed quasars revealed by Gaia

Cameron Alexander Campbell Lemon

We present the discovery and preliminary characterisation of two high-redshift gravitationally lensed quasar systems in Gaia Data Release 2 (DR2). Candidates with multiple close-separation Gaia detections and quasar-like colours in WISE, Pan-STARRS, and DE ...

Hypermagnetogenesis from axion inflation: Model-independent estimates

Oleksandr Sobol

Axion inflation coupled to the Standard Model (SM) hypercharge gauge sector represents an attractive scenario for the generation of primordial hypemiagnetic fields. The description of this scenario is, however, complicated by the Schwinger effect, which gi ...
