Euclid preparation XXXVII. Galaxy colour selections with Euclid and ground photometry for cluster weak-lensing analyses

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Gianluca Castignani, Maurizio Martinelli, Matthias Wiesmann, Yi Wang, Richard Massey, Fabio Finelli, Marcello Farina

Aims. We derived galaxy colour selections from Euclid and ground-based photometry, aiming to accurately define background galaxy samples in cluster weak-lensing analyses. These selections have been implemented in the Euclid data analysis pipelines for gala ...

Euclid preparation XXXVI. Modelling the weak lensing angular power spectrum

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Gianluca Castignani, Austin Chandler Peel, Maurizio Martinelli, Yi Wang, Richard Massey, Fabio Finelli, Marcello Farina

This work considers which higher order modeling e ffects on the cosmic shear angular power spectra must be taken into account for Euclid. We identified the relevant terms and quantified their individual and cumulative impact on the cosmological parameter i ...

Euclid preparation XXII. Selection of quiescent galaxies from mock photometry using machine learning

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Gianluca Castignani, Austin Chandler Peel, Maurizio Martinelli, Yi Wang, Richard Massey, Fabio Finelli, Marcello Farina

The Euclid Space Telescope will provide deep imaging at optical and near-infrared wavelengths, along with slitless near-infrared spectroscopy, across similar to 15 000deg(2) of the sky. Euclid is expected to detect similar to 12 billion astronomical source ...

Euclid preparation: XXVIII. Forecasts for ten different higher-order weak lensing statistics

Frédéric Courbin, Gianluca Castignani, Austin Chandler Peel, Jean-Luc Starck, Maurizio Martinelli, Yi Wang, Richard Massey, Fabio Finelli, Marcello Farina

Recent cosmic shear studies have shown that higher-order statistics (HOS) developed by independent teams now outperform standard two-point estimators in terms of statistical precision thanks to their sensitivity to the non-Gaussian features of large-scale ...

Euclid preparation XXIV. Calibration of the halo mass function in λ(ν)CDM cosmologies

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Gianluca Castignani, Austin Chandler Peel, Maurizio Martinelli, Slobodan Ilic, Yi Wang, Fabio Finelli, Marcello Farina

Euclid's photometric galaxy cluster survey has the potential to be a very competitive cosmological probe. The main cosmological probe with observations of clusters is their number count, within which the halo mass function (HMF) is a key theoretical quanti ...

Euclid preparation XXI. Intermediate-redshift contaminants in the search for z > 6 galaxies within the Euclid Deep Survey

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Gianluca Castignani, Austin Chandler Peel, Jean-Luc Starck, Maurizio Martinelli, Hakim Atek, Yi Wang, Richard Massey, Marcello Farina

Context. The Euclid mission is expected to discover thousands of z > 6 galaxies in three deep fields, which together will cover a similar to 50 deg(2) area. However, the limited number of Euclid bands (four) and the low availability of ancillary data could ...
