Cosmic Shear and the Intrinsic Alignment of Galaxies
(2010-11-12)
Cosmology has recently entered an era of increasingly rich observational data sets, all being in agreement with a cosmological standard model that features only a small number of free parameters. One of the most powerful ...
Weak Gravitational Lensing and Galaxy Bias
(2005)
Galaxies were formed from primordial baryonic matter within the gravitational potential of the dark matter. Today a confusing wealth of different galaxy populations is known. Explaining the emergence of this zoo of galaxy ...
Statistical properties of cosmological correlation functions
(2015-04-24)
Correlation functions are an omnipresent tool in astrophysics, and they are routinely used to study phenomena as diverse as the large-scale structure of the Universe, time-dependent pulsar signals, and the cosmic microwave ...
Weak lensing magnification & baryon acoustic oscillations in galaxy-galaxy lensing
(2021-09-08)
Cosmology is the science that aims to explain the Universe in its entirety. While the standard cosmological model has had tremendous success in explaining independent astrophysical observations, we still lack understanding ...
Halo bias renormalisation
(2020-06-09)
Modern galaxy redshift surveys provide a wealth of information about the evolution of our Universe. They allow to measure both the two-dimensional position on the sky and the distance (given by the cosmological redshift) ...
