In this paper, we show that Minkowski Functionals (MFs) of weak gravitational lensing (WL) convergence maps contain significant non-Gaussian, cosmology-dependent information. To do this, we use a large suite of cosmological ray-tracing…

We introduce a model Galactic field low-mass stellar population that has a proportion of binary systems as observed, with a mass ratio distribution consistent with observational constraints. The model single star and system luminosity…

We present 5,080 white dwarf (WD) candidates selected from stars matching between the multi-band imaging datasets of the Subaru Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) Survey and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) in the Stripe82 region covering about…

We present the mass distribution for all S/N > 15 pure DA white dwarfs detected in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey up to Data Release 12, fitted with Koester models for ML2/alpha=0.8, and with Teff > 10 000 K, and for DBs with S/N >10, fitted…

The luminosity function of galaxies of the Early Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and the Las Campanas Redshift Survey (LCRS) is calculated. The luminosity function depends on redshift, density of the environment and is…

We present the most precise and lowest-mass weak lensing measurements of dwarf galaxies to date, enabled by spectroscopic lenses from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) and photometric lenses from the Dark Energy Survey (DES)…

In this investigation, we leverage the combination of Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument Legacy imaging Surveys Data Release 9 (DESI LS DR9), Survey Validation 3 (SV3), and Year 1 (Y1) data sets to estimate the conditional luminosity and…

The hard X-ray spectrum of magnetic cataclysmic variables can be modelled to provide a measurement of white dwarf mass. This method is complementary to radial velocity measurements, which depend on the (typically rather uncertain) binary…

We present a study on the variations of the luminosity function of galaxies around clusters in a numerical simulation with semi-analytic galaxies, attempting to detect these variations in the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey. We subdivide the…

Deep images of the galactic globular cluster M4 taken at various locations with the NIC3 and the WFPC2 cameras on HST were used to derive detailed local optical and near IR luminosity functions. White dwarfs have been detected for the first…

We re-derive the made-to-measure method of Syer and Tremaine 1996, for modelling stellar systems and individual galaxies, and demonstrate how extensions to the made-to-measure method may be implemented and used. We illustrate the enhanced…

We use a large sample of galaxies from the Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) to calculate galaxy luminosity and stellar mass functions in the local Universe. We estimate k-corrections, evolution…

We study the galaxy cosmological mass function (GCMF) in a semi-empirical relativistic approach using observational data provided by galaxy redshift surveys. Starting from the theory of Ribeiro & Stoeger (2003, arXiv:astro-ph/0304094)…

Observational bias against finding Milky Way (MW) dwarf galaxies at low Galactic latitudes (b < 20 deg) and at low surface brightnesses (fainter than 29 mag arcsec^-2, in the V-band) currently limits our understanding of the faintest limits…

We are presenting in this paper a detailed account of the methods used to compute the three-dimensional two-point galaxy correlation function in the VIMOS-VLT deep survey (VVDS). We investigate how instrumental selection effects and…

Context. It is possible to accurately measure the masses of the white dwarfs (WDs) in the Hyades cluster using gravitational redshift, because the radial velocity of the stars can be obtained independently of spectroscopy from astrometry…

The spectroscopic features of white dwarfs are formed in the thin upper layer of their stellar photosphere. These features carry information about the white dwarf's surface temperature, surface gravity, and chemical composition (hereafter…

In a recent paper Loveday et al. (1992) have presented new results on the luminosity function for a sample of galaxies with $b_J \le 17.15$. After having morphologically classified each galaxy (early--type, late--type, merged or uncertain),…

Metacalibration is a recently introduced method to accurately measure weak gravitational lensing shear using only the available imaging data, without need for prior information about galaxy properties or calibration from simulations. The…

Traditional photometric redshift methods use only color information about the objects in question to estimate their redshifts. This paper introduces a new method utilizing colors, luminosity, surface brightness, and radial light profile to…
