KiDS-Legacy: consistency of cosmic shear measurements and joint cosmological constraints with external probes

We present a cosmic shear consistency analysis of the final data release from the Kilo-Degree Survey (KiDS-Legacy). By adopting three tiers of consistency metrics, we compared cosmological constraints between subsets of the KiDS-Legacy dataset split by redshift, angular scale, galaxy colour, and spa...

Description
Summary:We present a cosmic shear consistency analysis of the final data release from the Kilo-Degree Survey (KiDS-Legacy). By adopting three tiers of consistency metrics, we compared cosmological constraints between subsets of the KiDS-Legacy dataset split by redshift, angular scale, galaxy colour, and spatial region. We also reviewed a range of two-point cosmic shear statistics. As all the data passed our set of consistency metric tests, we demonstrate that KiDS-Legacy is the most internally consistent KiDS catalogue to date. In a joint cosmological analysis of KiDS-Legacy and DES Y3 cosmic shear, combined with data from the Pantheon+ Type Ia supernovae compilation and baryon acoustic oscillations from DESI Y1, we report constraints that are consistent with <i>Planck<i/> measurements of the cosmic microwave background, with and .
