Description
The authors present optical and near infrared photometry, covering from 0.36 to 2.3 microns, for a wide sample of red giant stars in the globular cluster M3. These measurements are used to make a first attempt in order to apply the Infrared Flux Method to obtain the observational (L - Teff) diagram for cluster stars. The peculiarities of the method for this particular application are discussed. The estimated errors in Teff are ±100K and most of the uncertainty present in the luminosities is due to distance errors. From a comparison with the theoretical evolutionary tracks (Rood, 1972), a variation in the mixing length parameter seems necessary to situate the mean red giant branch in a position in accordance to previous metallicity estimations.

    This work considers which higher order modeling effects on the cosmic shear angular power spectra must be taken into account for Euclid. We identified the relevant terms and quantified their individual and cumulative impact on the cosmological parameter inferences from Euclid. We computed the values of these higher order effects using analytic

    Aims: We derived galaxy colour selections from Euclid and ground-based photometry, aiming to accurately define background galaxy samples in cluster weak-lensing analyses. These selections have been implemented in the Euclid data analysis pipelines for galaxy clusters. Methods: Given any set of photometric bands, we developed a method for the
