Gravitational lensing is potentially able to observe mass-selected halos, and to measure the projected cluster mass function. An optimal mass-selection requires a quantitative understanding of the noise behavior in mass maps. This paper is…

CONCERTO is the first experiment to perform a [CII] line intensity mapping survey to target $z>5.2$. Measuring the [CII] power spectrum allows us to study the role of dusty star-forming galaxies in the star formation history during the…
We present a model for the power spectrum of the density field of galaxies weighted by their star formation rate. This weighting is relevant in line-intensity mapping (LIM) when the observed line luminosity is strongly correlated with star…
In this paper we derive a full expression for the propagation of multiplicative and additive shape measurement biases into the cosmic shear power spectrum. In doing so we identify several new terms that are associated with selection…
The power spectrum (PS) of mass density fluctuations, in the range $0.05 \leq k \leq 0.2 \ihmpc$, is derived from the Mark III catalog of peculiar velocities of galaxies, independent of ``biasing". It is computed from the density field as…
We present high resolution echelle spectroscopy of a sample of H II galaxies. In all galaxies we identify different H(alpha) emitting knots along the slit crossing the nucleus. All of these have been isolated and separately analyzed through…
We develop optimised estimators of two sorts of power spectra for fields defined on the sky, in the presence of partial sky coverage. The first is the cross-power spectrum of two fields on the sky; the second is the skew spectrum of three…
Weak lensing convergence can be used directly to map and probe the dark mass distribution in the universe. Building on earlier studies, we recall how the statistics of the convergence field are related to the statistics of the underlying…
