Master-2 internship 2019: Measuring cosmic magnification in the Euclid deep fields

By hjmccracken | October 14, 2018

The objective of this internship is to make a measurement of the cosmic magnification effect in prototype Euclid deep field data. Background ESA’s Euclid satellite aims to uncover the nature of dark matter and dark energy by precisely measuring shapes and positions of a billion galaxies taken with the wide-field VIS camera. Dark matter induces… Read More: Master-2 internship 2019: Measuring cosmic magnification in the Euclid deep… »

The Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Legacy survey, or CFHTLS, was a wide-field survey sky-survey carried out using the Megacam camera on CFHT. CFHTLS had two components: a “wide” and “deep” survey. The deep survey comprised four deep fields observed in ugriz bands and the wide survey was a shallower survey covering around 140 square degrees in five… Read More: Final CFHTLS TERAPIX dataset available at CALET »
