Using Spectral Workbench to measure remote “black-body” surface temperature
FROM THE ARCHIVES…. by DrBeck | September 15, 2021 03:22 | #27726 GOAL: To acquire spectra of stellar objects and calibrate/analyze them with the Spectral Workbench tool, so that one may easily extract a surface temperature from these ‘black-body’ emitters. By so doing, we can refine yet another approach to remote sensing of temperature from […]

Euclid preparation. XXVII. Covariance model validation for the 2-point correlation function of galaxy clusters, Euclid Collaboration
By A. Fumagalli1,2,3,4⋆, A. Saro1,2,3,4, S. Borgani1,3,2,4, T. Castro3,2,4, M. Costanzi1,3,2.. Courtois, Hélène… ABSTRACT « We validate a semi-analytical model for the covariance of real-space 2-point correlation function of galaxy clusters. Using 1000 PINOCCHIO light cones mimicking the expected Euclid sample of galaxy clusters, we calibrate a simple model to accurately describe the clustering covariance. […]
