Description
H-alpha observations of AG Peg, obtained using an IPCS detector on the 2.5-m Isaac Newton Telescope of the Observatorio del Roque de Los Muchachos on November 13-14, 1986, are reported. A mask reducing the effective entrance aperture to 55 cm and a neutral filter limiting the photon flux to 14 photons/frame were employed in 15-msec/frame exposures (total exposure time 790 sec), and the frame recentering and selection algorithm of Rosa and Fuensalida (1987) was applied to improve the sharpness of the H-alpha image. AG Peg is shown to have a SE lobe about 4 arcsec from its center, a more intense and concentrated NW lobe about 5 arcsec from center, and an unresolved emission source less than 1.7 arcsec NE of center. With background subtracted, the external nebulosity is found to account for about 33 percent of the total H-alpha emission.

    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

    Euclid preparation. XXXVII. Galaxy colour selections with Euclid and ground photometry for cluster weak-lensing analyses

    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
