Serendipitous discovery of a dying Giant Radio Galaxy associated with NGC 1534, using the Murchison Widefield Array

Kavli Affiliate: Robert Goeke | First 5 Authors: Natasha Hurley-Walker, Melanie Johnston-Hollitt, Ron Ekers, Richard Hunstead, Elaine M. Sadler | Summary: Recent observations with the Murchison Widefield Array at 185~MHz have serendipitously unveiled a heretofore unknown giant and relatively nearby ($z = 0.0178$) radio galaxy associated with NGC,1534. The diffuse emission presented here is the […]

GREAT3 results I: systematic errors in shear estimation and the impact of real galaxy morphology

Kavli Affiliate: Philip J. Marshall | First 5 Authors: Rachel Mandelbaum, Barnaby Rowe, Robert Armstrong, Deborah Bard, Emmanuel Bertin | Summary: We present first results from the third GRavitational lEnsing Accuracy Testing (GREAT3) challenge, the third in a sequence of challenges for testing methods of inferring weak gravitational lensing shear distortions from simulated galaxy images. […]
