Description
Position data of sunspot groups from the period 1874-1902 are used to investigate the differential rotation of the Sun and the meridional motions of the sunspots. The equatorial velocity is higher than in the period 1940-1968 investigated by Balthasar and Wöhl (1980), while differences between the northern and southern hemispheres are less. For cycle 12 we find meridional motions towards north while in cycle 13 the motions are directed towards south like in the period 1940-1968. Our other results are comparable to those of Balthasar and Wöhl (1980) for the period 1940-1968.

    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

    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
