Euclid preparation XIX. Impact of magnification on photometric galaxy clustering

Aims. We investigate the importance of lensing magnification for estimates of galaxy clustering and its cross-correlation with shear for the photometric sample of Euclid. Using updated specifications, we study the impact of lensing magnification on the constraints and the shift in the estimation of the best fitting cosmological parameters that we expect if this effect is neglected.

Chandra COSMOS survey I.

The Chandra COSMOS Survey (C-COSMOS) is a large, 1.8Ms, Chandra program that has imaged the central 0.5deg^2^ of the COSMOS field (centered at 10h, +02d) with an effective exposure of ~160ks, and an outer 0.4deg^2^ area with an effective exposure of ~80ks. The limiting source detection depths are 1.9x10^-16^erg/cm2/s in the soft (0.5-2keV) band, 7.3x10^-16^erg/cm2/s in the hard (2-10keV) band, and 5.7x10^-16^erg/cm2/s in the full (0.5-10keV) band. Here we describe the strategy, design, and execution of the C-COSMOS survey, and present the catalog of 1761 point sources detected at a probability of being spurious of <2x10^-5^ (1655 in the full, 1340 in the soft, and 1017 in the hard bands).

REFLEX galaxies redshifts

We present the final data from the spectroscopic survey of the ROSAT-ESO Flux-Limited X-ray (REFLEX) catalogue of galaxy clusters. The REFLEX survey covers 4.24 steradians (34% of the entire sky) below a declination +2.50{deg} and at high galactic latitude (|b|<20{deg}). The full survey includes 447 galaxy clusters with a median redshift of 0.08 and is better than 90% complete to a limiting flux of f_X_=3x10^-12^ergs/s/cm^2^ (3fW/m^2^, 0.1 to 2.4keV), representing the largest statistically homogeneous sample of clusters to date drawn from the ROSAT All-Sky Survey (RASS). Here we describe the details of the spectroscopic observations carried out at the ESO 1.5m, 2.2m and 3.6m telescopes, the…
