The distinction between stars and galaxies is a fundamental problem in the field of celestial classification. This issue has become challenging for these ongoing and upcoming digital surveys, which will produce terabytes and even petabytes…

Forthcoming astronomical imaging surveys will use weak gravitational lensing shear as a primary probe to study dark energy, with accuracy requirements at the 0.1% level. We present an implementation of the Metadetection shear measurement…

We present validated and forward-modelled galaxy luminosity functions and photometric predictions for the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time using the ASTRID cosmological hydrodynamical simulation. Galaxy magnitudes…

We analyze the clustering of galaxies in the first public data release of the HSC Subaru Strategic Program. Despite the relatively small footprints of the observed fields, the data are an excellent proxy for the deep photometric datasets…

With the advent of JWST, we can probe the rest-frame optical emission of galaxies at $z>3$ with high sensitivity and spatial resolution, making it possible to accurately characterise red, optically-faint galaxies and thus move towards a…

Globular clusters (GCs) are excellent tracers of their host galaxies' evolutionary histories. Traditional methods for identifying GCs in galaxies rely on cuts over photometric catalogs and can yield source lists with high levels of…

A significant fraction of observed galaxies in the Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) will overlap at least one other galaxy along the same line of sight, in a so-called "blend." The current standard method of…

Modern cosmological surveys such as the Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) survey produce a huge volume of low-resolution images of both distant galaxies and dim stars in our own galaxy. Being able to automatically classify these images is a…

Wide-field, multi-band surveys now detect millions of unresolved sources in nearby galaxy clusters, yet separating globular clusters (GCs) from foreground stars and background galaxies remains challenging. Scalable, automated classification…

Galaxy-scale strong lenses in galaxy clusters provide a unique tool to investigate their inner mass distribution and the sub-halo density profiles in the low-mass regime, which can be compared with the predictions from cosmological…

Contamination from stars in the galaxy samples of large-scale structure surveys can bias cosmological constraints if not tightly controlled. This is especially true for lens samples used for galaxy clustering and galaxy-galaxy lensing…

Tidal Disruption Events (TDEs) are astrophysical phenomena arising when stars are disrupted by supermassive black holes. The Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST), with its unprecedented depth and cadence, will…
