Unveiling the Intrinsic Alignment of Galaxies with Self-calibration and DECaLS DR3 Data

Galaxy intrinsic alignment (IA) is a source of both systematic contamination of cosmic shear measurement and its cosmological applications and valuable information on the large-scale structure of the universe and galaxy formation. The self-calibration (SC) ...

LESSER: a catalogue of spectroscopically selected sample of Lyman-alpha emitters lensed by galaxies

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib

We introduce the LEnSed laeS in the Eboss suRvey (LESSER) project, which aims to search for lensed Lyman-alpha emitters (LAEs) in the Extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (eBOSS). The final catalogue contains 361 candidate lensing systems. The ...

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

Eduardo Sanchez

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 ...

Quasi-stellar objects acting as potential strong gravitational lenses in the SDSS-III BOSS survey

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Frédéric Courbin, Timothée Guy Olivier Delubac

We present a sample of 12 quasi-stellar objects (QSOs) that potentially act as strong gravitational lenses on background emission line galaxies (ELG) or Lyman-alpha emitters (LAEs) selected through a systematic search of the 297 301 QSOs in the Sloan Digit ...

Testing gravity with galaxy-galaxy lensing and redshift-space distortions using CFHT-Stripe 82, CFHTLenS, and BOSS CMASS datasets

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Johan Comparat, Huanyuan Shan

The combination of galaxy-galaxy lensing (GGL) and redshift space distortion of galaxy clustering (RSD) is a privileged technique to test general relativity predictions and break degeneracies between the growth rate of structure parameter f and the amplitu ...

Precision theoretical methods for large-scale structure of the Universe

Mikhail Ivanov

We develop new analytic methods to accurately describe the formation of cosmic large-scale structure. These methods are based on the path integral formalism and allows one to efficiently address a number of long-standing problems in the field. We describe ...

Euclid preparation III. Galaxy cluster detection in the wide photometric survey, performance and algorithm selection

Gianluca Castignani, Marina Ricci

Galaxy cluster counts in bins of mass and redshift have been shown to be a competitive probe to test cosmological models. This method requires an efficient blind detection of clusters from surveys with a well-known selection function and robust mass estima ...

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey Reverberation Mapping Project: Improving Lag Detection with an Extended Multiyear Baseline

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Yuguang Chen, Yue Shen, Feng Li

We investigate the effects of extended multiyear light curves (9 yr photometry and 5 yr spectroscopy) on the detection of time lags between the continuum variability and broad-line response of quasars at z greater than or similar to 1.5, and compare with t ...

Non-perturbative probability distribution function for cosmological counts in cells

Sergey Sibiryakov, Mikhail Ivanov

We present a non-perturbative calculation of the 1-point probability distribution function (PDF) for the spherically-averaged matter density field. The PDF is represented as a path integral and is evaluated using the saddle-point method. It factorizes into ...

Redshift-weighted constraints on primordial non-Gaussianity from the clustering of the eBOSS DR14 quasars in Fourier space

Cheng Zhao

We present constraints on local primordial non-Gaussianity (PNG), parametrized through f(NL)(loc), using the Sloan Digital Sky Survey IV extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey Data Release 14 quasar sample. We measure and analyze the anisotropic ...
