Mitigation of the Brighter-Fatter Effect in the LSST Camera

Kavli Affiliate: Aaron Roodman | First 5 Authors: Alex Broughton, Yousuke Utsumi, Andrés Plazas Malagón, Christopher Waters, Craig Lage | Summary: Thick, fully depleted charge-coupled devices (CCDs) are known to exhibit non-linear behavior at high signal levels due to the dynamic behavior of charges collecting in the potential wells of pixels, called the brighter-fatter effect […]

Searching for the Highest-z Dual AGN in the Deepest Chandra Surveys

Kavli Affiliate: Steven W. Allen | First 5 Authors: Brandon Sandoval, Adi Foord, Steven W. Allen, Marta Volonteri, Aaron Stemo | Summary: We present an analysis searching for dual AGN among 62 high-redshift ($2.5 < z < 3.5$) X-ray sources selected from publicly available deep Chandra fields. We aim to quantify the frequency of dual […]

The mass profiles of dwarf galaxies from Dark Energy Survey lensing

Kavli Affiliate: Risa H. Wechsler | First 5 Authors: Joseph Thornton, Alexandra Amon, Risa H. Wechsler, Susmita Adhikari, Yao-Yuan Mao | Summary: We present a novel approach to extracting dwarf galaxies from photometric data to measure their average halo mass profile with weak lensing. We characterise their stellar mass and redshift distributions with a spectroscopic […]
