Description
We present V-band CCD photometry, UBVRI photopolarimetry, and near simultaneous JHK photometry of 3C 345 during a renewed outburst in spring of 1992, which reached maximum at the end of April. The observations also show a large and variable polarization. There are very large variations in the position angle, unlike in previously published photopolarimetry of this object. Both the visible and the infrared magnitudes are amongst the brightest that have ever been measured in this object, whilst the continuum spectral energy distribution shows that excess in V which has been observed on some, but not all previous occasions. No convincing evidence is seen of rapid infrared variations on time scales of less than 2 hr.

    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
