Ridges in galaxy density fields measured by photometric surveys are 2D projections of filaments in the cosmic web, and so should lens light from background galaxies. We report on a detection of this effect in Dark Energy Survey Year 3 data…

We perform image stacking analysis of Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) photometric galaxies over the AKARI Far-Infrared Surveyor (FIS) maps at 65{\mu}m, 90{\mu}m, and 140{\mu}m. The resulting image profiles are decomposed into the central…

By combining surface brightness profiles from images taken in the HST/NICMOS F160W and ground-based (GB) $K$ bands, we have obtained NIR profiles for a well studied sample of inclined disk galaxies, spanning radial ranges from 20 pc to a…

Filament finders are limited, among other things, by the abundance of spectroscopic redshift data. As there are proportionally more photometric redshift data than spectroscopic, we aim to use photometric data to improve and expand the areas…

We present the first spatially resolved measurements of galaxy properties in the JWST ERO SMACS0723 field. We perform a comprehensive analysis of five $5<z<9$ galaxies with spectroscopic redshifts from NIRSpec observations. We perform…

Several papers have recently highlighted the possibility of measuring redshift space distortions from angular auto-correlations of galaxies in photometric redshift bins. In this work we extend this idea to include as observables the…
