Angular systematics-free cosmological analysis of galaxy clustering in configuration space

Galaxy redshift surveys are subject to incompleteness and inhomogeneous sampling due to the various constraints inherent to spectroscopic observations. This can introduce systematic errors on the summary statistics of interest, which need to be mitigated i ...

Survey of Gravitationally lensed objects in HSC Imaging (SuGOHI). VIII. New galaxy-scale lenses from the HSC SSP

Hung-Hsu Chan

We conduct a search for galaxy-scale strong gravitational lens systems in Data Release 4 of the Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Program (HSC SSP), consisting of data taken up to the S21A semester. We select 103191 luminous red galaxies from the Baryon O ...

Impact of thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect on cross-correlations between Planck cosmic microwave background lensing and SDSS galaxy density fields

Tianyue Chen

Residual foreground contamination by thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich (tSZ) effect from galaxy clusters in cosmic microwave background (CMB) maps propagates into the reconstructed CMB lensing field, and thus biases the intrinsic cross-correlation between CMB lens ...

Euclid preparation: XI. Mean redshift determination from galaxy redshift probabilities for cosmic shear tomography

Fabio Finelli, Richard Massey, Gianluca Castignani, Yi Wang

The analysis of weak gravitational lensing in wide-field imaging surveys is considered to be a major cosmological probe of dark energy. Our capacity to constrain the dark energy equation of state relies on an accurate knowledge of the galaxy mean redshift ...

The GOGREEN survey: dependence of galaxy properties on halo mass a z > 1 and implications for environmental quenching

Pascale Jablonka, Hung-Hsu Chan

We use photometric redshifts and statistical background subtraction to measure stellar mass functions in galaxy group-mass (4.5-8 x 10(13) M-circle dot) haloes at 1 < z < 1.5. Groups are selected from COSMOS and SXDF, based on X-ray imaging and sparse spec ...

Baryon acoustic oscillations in the projected cross-correlation function between the eBOSS DR16 quasars and photometric galaxies from the DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys

Anand Stéphane Raichoor, Cheng Zhao

We search for the baryon acoustic oscillations in the projected cross-correlation function binned into transverse comoving radius between the SDSS-IV DR16 eBOSS quasars and a dense photometric sample of galaxies selected from the DESI Legacy Imaging Survey ...

Halo Mass-concentration Relation at the High-mass End

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Huanyuan Shan, Ginevra Favole

The concentration-mass (c-M) relation encodes key information about the assembly history of dark matter halos. However, its behavior at the high mass end has not been measured precisely in observations yet. In this paper, we report the measurement of the h ...

On the influence of halo mass accretion history on galaxy properties and assembly bias

Ginevra Favole

Halo assembly bias is the secondary dependence of the clustering of dark matter haloes on their assembly histories at fixed halo mass. This established dependence is expected to manifest itself on galaxy clustering, a potential effect commonly known as gal ...

The GOGREEN and GCLASS surveys: first data release

Pascale Jablonka, Hung-Hsu Chan

We present the first public data release of the GOGREEN (Gemini Observations of Galaxies in Rich Early Environments) and GCLASS (Gemini CLuster Astrophysics Spectroscopic Survey) surveys of galaxies in dense environments, spanning a redshift range 0.8 < z ...

Reducing the variance of redshift space distortion measurements from mock galaxy catalogues with different lines of sight

Cheng Zhao

Accuratemock catalogues are essential for assessing systematics in the cosmological analysis of large galaxy surveys. Anisotropic two-point clustering measurements from the same simulation show some scatter for different lines of sight (LOS), but are on av ...

The GOGREEN survey: Internal dynamics of clusters of galaxies at redshift 0.9-1.4

Pascale Jablonka, Hung-Hsu Chan

Context. The study of galaxy cluster mass profiles (M(r)) provides constraints on the nature of dark matter and on physical processes affecting the mass distribution. The study of galaxy cluster velocity anisotropy profiles (beta (r)) informs the orbits of ...

Testing the evolution of correlations between supermassive black holes and their host galaxies using eight strongly lensed quasars

Aymeric Alexandre Galan, Adriano Agnello

One of the main challenges in using high-redshift active galactic nuclei (AGNs) to study the correlations between the mass of a supermassive black hole (M-BH) and the properties of its active host galaxy is instrumental resolution. Strong lensing magnifica ...
