Description
Spectroscopy and mapping of the type I postmain-sequence source CRL 618, taken with the 45-m antenna of the Nobeyama Radio Observatory and the 12-m NRAO facility at Kitty Peak, are presented. It is shown that the exterior constant velocity envelope has a typical aspect ratio of about 0.8, extends over a range not less than 70 arcsec, and has an FWHM close to about 50 arcsec. Spatial-velocity maps through the nucleus reveal appreciable asymmetries in right ascension, with emission peaking towards about V(lsr) of -25 km/s for easterly offset locations, and about -15 km/s towards the west. These characteristics may arise from a mix of transverse expansion in the bipolar lobes, radial expansion within the outflow cavities, and shock deceleration of the interior H I/H II wind.

    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
