Cosmic shear analysis in 50 uncorrelated VLT fields. Implications for $\Omega_0$, $\sigma_8$
Cosmic shear analysis in 50 uncorrelated VLT fields. Implications for $\Omega_0$, $\sigma_8$
We observed with the camera FORS1 on the VLT (UT1, ANTU) 50 randomly selected fields and analyzed the cosmic shear inside circular apertures with diameter ranging from 0.5 to 5.0 arcmin. The images were obtained in optimal conditions using the Service Observing proposed by ESO on the VLT, which enabled …
