NuSTAR Observations of Abell 665 and 2146: Constraints on Non-Thermal Emission

Kavli Affiliate: Grzegorz Madejski | First 5 Authors: Randall Rojas Bolivar, Daniel Wik, Ayşegül Tümer, Fabio Gastaldello, Julie Hlavacek-Larrondo | Summary: Observations from past missions such as RXTE and Beppo-SAX suggested the presence of inverse Compton (IC) scattering at hard X-ray energies within the intracluster medium of some massive galaxy clusters. In subsequent years, observations […]

Effect of Instrumental Polarization with a Half-Wave Plate on the $B$-Mode Signal: Prediction and Correction

Kavli Affiliate: Tomotake Matsumura | First 5 Authors: Guillaume Patanchon, Hiroaki Imada, Hirokazu Ishino, Tomotake Matsumura, | Summary: We evaluate the effect of half-wave plate (HWP) imperfections inducing intensity leakage to the measurement of Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) $B$-mode polarization signal with future satellite missions focusing on the tensor-to-scalar ratio $r$. The HWP is modeled […]

Photometry, Centroid and Point-Spread Function Measurements in the LSST Camera Focal Plane Using Artificial Stars

Kavli Affiliate: Stuart Marshall | First 5 Authors: Johnny H. Esteves, Yousuke Utsumi, Adam Snyder, Theo Schutt, Alex Broughton | Summary: The Vera C. Rubin Observatory’s LSST Camera (LSSTCam) pixel response has been characterized using laboratory measurements with a grid of artificial stars. We quantify the contributions to photometry, centroid, point-spread function size, and shape […]

On the detectability of strong lensing in near-infrared surveys

Kavli Affiliate: Philip J. Marshall | First 5 Authors: Philip Holloway, Aprajita Verma, Philip J. Marshall, Anupreeta More, Matthias Tecza | Summary: We present new lensing frequency estimates for existing and forthcoming deep near-infrared surveys, including those from JWST and VISTA. The estimates are based on the JAdes extraGalactic Ultradeep Artificial Realisations (JAGUAR) galaxy catalogue […]
