The mass–richness relation of optically selected clusters from weak gravitational lensing and abundance with Subaru HSC first-year data [PDF]

open access: yesNippon Tenmon Gakkai obun kenkyu hokoku, 2019
Constraining the relation between the richness N and the halo mass M over a wide redshift range for optically selected clusters is a key ingredient for cluster-related science in optical surveys, including the Subaru Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) survey.

Weak Gravitational Lensing [PDF]

open access: yesPhys.Rept.340:291-472,2001, 1999
We review theory and applications of weak gravitational lensing. After summarising Friedmann-Lemaitre cosmological models, we present the formalism of gravitational lensing and light propagation in arbitrary space-times. We discuss how weak-lensing effects can be measured.

Degeneracy in exotic gravitational lensing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
We present three different theoretically foreseen, but unusual, astrophysical situations where the gravitational lens equation ends up being the same, thus producing a degeneracy problem.

KiDS-450 + 2dFLenS: Cosmological parameter constraints from weak gravitational lensing tomography and overlapping redshift-space galaxy clustering [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We perform a combined analysis of cosmic shear tomography, galaxy-galaxy lensing tomography, and redshift-space multipole power spectra (monopole and quadrupole) using 450 deg(2) of imaging data by the Kilo Degree Survey (KiDS-450) overlapping with two ...

Embedded in context: How time and distance affect the convergence of personnel selection practices

open access: yesHuman Resource Management Journal, Volume 33, Issue 1, Page 47-68, January 2023., 2023
Abstract The debate on convergence versus divergence or stasis in human resource management (HRM) practices over time is still ongoing. We look at configurations of organisations' personnel selection practices and empirically analyse the role of geographic, cultural and regulatory institutional distance between countries for emerging similarity or ...

A New Method for measuring Weak Gravitational Lensing Shear using Higher Order Spin-2 HOLICs [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophys.J.699:143-149,2009, 2008
We investigate the possibility to use higher order moments of gravitational lensed images in the weak lensing analysis. For this purpose we employ spin-2 component of HOLICs(Higher Order Lensing Characteristics) developed by us. We test the weak lensing analysis with spin-2 HOLICs using actual, ground based Subaru observations of the massive galaxy ...

Weak Gravitational Lensing by Dark Clusters [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
We calculate the abundance of dark-matter concentrations that are sufficiently overdense to produce a detectable weak-gravitational-lensing signal. Most of these overdensities are virialized halos containing identifiable X-ray and/or optical clusters ...

Studying galaxy troughs and ridges using weak gravitational lensing with the Kilo-Degree Survey [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2018
We study projected underdensities in the cosmic galaxy density field known as 'troughs', and their overdense counterparts, which we call 'ridges'. We identify these regions using a bright sample of foreground galaxies from the photometric Kilo-Degree ...

Walking the Talk? Managing Errors in the Audit Profession*

open access: yesContemporary Accounting Research, Volume 39, Issue 4, Page 2696-2729, Winter 2022., 2022
ABSTRACT Errors reflect unintended deviations from plans or goals and commonly carry negative connotations. Although errors cannot be eliminated, they offer opportunities for learning and innovation. Audit firms employ powerful mechanisms, such as review processes, to prevent or detect audit errors and safeguard their work in the public interest.

Gravitational lensing by a black-bounce-Reissner–Nordström spacetime

open access: yesEuropean Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2022
We investigate the weak and strong deflection gravitational lensing by a black-bounce-Reissner–Nordström spacetime and obtain their lensing observables. Assuming the supermassive black holes in the Galactic Center and at the center of M87, Sgr A* and M87*
