Description
The possibility that radiative instabilities in stellar atmospheres are driven by transfer of energy processes between stellar gas and the radiation field is considered. Harmonic temperature fluctuations in gray radiative equilibrium atmospheres are introduced, and the linear response of the radiation field to the ensuing Planck-function and opacity fluctuations is investigated. Analytical and numerical calculations are performed, emphasizing the influence of the multidimensional radiative transfer (MRT) effects of opacity fluctuations on the radiative relaxation time as a function of the wavenumber of the perturbations. Quantitative examples are given for stellar atmospheres with solarlike T(eff) and gravitational stratification. It is concluded that, while the MRT effects of B fluctuations generally tend to be stabilizing, the MRT effects of chi fluctuations are optically important for driving radiative instabilities.

    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
