Instrumental systematics and weak gravitational lensing [PDF]
We present a pedagogical review of the weak gravitational lensing measurement process and its connection to major scientific questions such as dark matter and dark energy. Then we describe common ways of parametrizing systematic errors and understanding how they affect weak lensing measurements.

Abstract This narrative review summarizes the collective knowledge on periodontal microbiology, through a historical timeline that highlights the European contribution in the global field. The etiological concepts on periodontal disease culminate to the ecological plaque hypothesis and its dysbiosis‐centered interpretation.

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

Weak lensing, dark matter and dark energy
Weak gravitational lensing is rapidly becoming one of the principal probes of dark matter and dark energy in the universe. In this brief review we outline how weak lensing helps determine the structure of dark matter halos, measure the expansion rate of ...

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

Statistics of Weak Lensing at Small Angular Scales: Analytical Predictions for Lower Order Moments [PDF]
Weak lensing surveys are expected to provide direct measurements of the statistics of the projected dark matter distribution. Most analytical studies of weak lensing statistics have been limited to quasilinear scales as they relied on perturbative ...

Radio weak gravitational lensing with VLA and MERLIN [PDF]
We carry out an exploratory weak gravitational lensing analysis on a combined VLA and MERLIN radio data set: a deep (3.3 micro-Jy beam^-1 rms noise) 1.4 GHz image of the Hubble Deep Field North. We measure the shear estimator distribution at this radio sensitivity for the first time, finding a similar distribution to that of optical shear estimators ...

Weak gravitational lensing by multi-horizons black hole
We investigate the weak gravitational lensing caused by multi-horizon black hole (MHBH) on light. Using the Gauss-Bonnet theorem, which demonstrates that light bending is a topological and global phenomenon, we are able to deduce the deflection angle of ...

Morphology of CMB fields—effect of weak gravitational lensing [PDF]
We study the morphology of the cosmic microwave background temperature and polarization fields using the shape and alignment parameters, β and α, that are constructed from the contour Minkowski tensor.

A synthetic Roman Space Telescope High-Latitude Imaging Survey: simulation suite and the impact of wavefront errors on weak gravitational lensing [PDF]
The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope (Roman) mission is expected to launch in the mid-2020s. Its weak lensing program is designed to enable unprecedented systematics control in photometric measurements, including shear recovery, point spread function (
