Description
Observations of the 1400-1800 A region in late A type stars are presented, which were obtained using the IUE satellite at low and high resolution. The calibrated energy distribution is derived and presents a large variation with wavelength in the spectral range due to Si I photoionization discontinuities. Emission lines formed in the transition region do not appear, although upper limits on the emission in these lines are established. A schematic model is proposed for the outer layers in A type stars, which suggests that the chromosphere in solar type stars is likely absent in A stars, while the NLTE photosphere could be immediately connected to the transition region, joining the upper photosphere to the corona. In addition, the amount of matter in the transition zone is found to be small.

    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
