The Kilo-Degree Survey
read the original abstract
The Kilo Degree Survey (KiDS) is a 1500 square degree optical imaging survey with the recently commissioned OmegaCAM wide-field imager on the VLT Survey Telescope (VST). A suite of data products will be delivered to the European Southern Observatory (ESO) and the community by the KiDS survey team. Spread over Europe, the KiDS team uses Astro-WISE to collaborate efficiently and pool hardware resources. In Astro-WISE the team shares, calibrates and archives all survey data. The data-centric architectural design realizes a dynamic 'live archive' in which new KiDS survey products of improved quality can be shared with the team and eventually the full astronomical community in a flexible and controllable manner.

Secondary Dependence of Baryonic Effects on the Density Profile of Dark Matter Halos
Baryonic effects on dark matter halo density profiles exhibit strong secondary dependence on concentration (up to 15% variations at small scales for lower-mass halos) and weaker dependence on large-scale environment (~2%).
