New Constraints on the Evolution of the Stellar-to-dark Matter Connection: A Combined Analysis of Galaxy-Galaxy Lensing, Clustering, and Stellar Mass Functions from z = 0.2 to z =1

This measurement required a more accurate weak lensing catalogue than had been available, so Massey remade it from scratch for this project. Massey supervised the rereduction of the HST data, constructed a new PSF model incorporating variation of more physical conditions, and manufactured a large suite of simulated images to calibrate the analysis as a function of redshift (S2.1). We initiated this project at a COSMOS team workshop in Hawaii in March 2010. From then until April 2011, Leauthaud and Massey led fortnightly telecons with the core team to coordinate the effort.
