Description
The contrast of the photospheric granulation in the centre of the disk at a wavelength of 500 nm has been determined by means of photographs taken during the solar eclipse of May 30th 1984. After restoration, values of 17.3% and 20.4%, using the sum of two lorentzians to define the instrumental profile, and of 11.7% and 14.3%, using the sum of two gaussians, have been obtained. This suggests that the results are quite sensitive to the particular choice which is made of the analytical approximation to the point spread function. The corrected power spectrum does not show significant differences to those of previous works. A comparison between the method for correcting the image degradation which the authors propose with those used by other investigators is also made.

    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
