We are involved in the weak lensing science analysis of the European Southern Observatories Kilo Degree Survey (KiDS).
KiDS is a 1500 square degree optical imaging survey on the ESO Very Large Telescope (VLT) Survey Telescope (VST). We are part of the KiDS science team and are involved in assisting with the weak lensing data processing.
KiDS, the Kilo-Degree Survey, is a large optical imaging survey in the Southern sky, designed to tackle some of the most fundamental questions of cosmology and galaxy formation of today. Using the VLT Survey Telescope (VST), located at the ESO Paranal Observatory, KiDS will map 1500 square degrees of the night sky in four broad-band filters (u, g, r, i).
