Description
The authors have used high resolution IUE spectra from their own studies and from the archive to examine the Mg II h and k chromospheric emission cores of a sample of late-type dwarfs and giants. Sharp photospheric absorptions were used to provide a velocity rest-frame with respect to each stellar photosphere with the IUE-limited precision of ±4 km s-1. The knowledge of the kinematics of the local interstellar medium (LISM) could then be used to identify cases where either the cores or the wings, or in best circumstances both features of the chromospheric lines were uncontaminated by LISM absorption. The authors derive, using only LISM-free emission wings, accurate Wilson-Bappu relations for both the h and k line, characterized by a slope higher than in previous determinations.

    Euclid preparation. XXXVI. Modelling the weak lensing angular power spectrum

    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
