This paper presents the second data release of the Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Program, a wide-field optical imaging survey on the 8.2 meter Subaru Telescope. The release includes data from…
Detection of universality of dark matter profile from Subaru weak lensing measurements of 50 massive clusters
- H. Niikura, M. Takada, U. Hirosaki
- Physics

We develop a novel method of measuring the lensing distortion profiles of clusters with stacking the scaled amplitudes of background galaxy ellipticities as a function of the scaled centric radius…
Microlensing constraints on $10^{-10}M_\odot$-scale primordial black holes from high-cadence observation of M31 with Hyper Suprime-Cam
- H. Niikura, M. Takada, M. Chiba
- Physics, Geology
- 9 January 2017
We use the Subaru Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) to conduct a high-cadence (2~min sampling) 7~hour long observation of the Andromeda galaxy (M31) to search for the microlensing magnification of stars in M31…
