Weak Lensing by High-Redshift Clusters of Galaxies II: Mean Redshift of the Faint Background Galaxy Population

We use weak lensing shear measurements of six z>0.5 clusters of galaxies to derive the mean lensing redshift of the background galaxies used to measure the shear. Five of these clusters are compared to X-ray mass models and verify a mean lensing redshift for a 23<R<26.3, R-I<0.9 background galaxy population in good agreement with photometric redshift surveys of the HDF-S. The lensing strength of the six clusters is also analyzed as a function of the magnitude of the background galaxies, and an increase in shear with increasing magnitude is detected at moderate significance. The change in the strength of the shear is presumed to be caused by an increase in the mean redshift of the background galaxies with increasing magnitude, and the degree of change detected is also in agreement with those in photometric redshift surveys of the HDF-S.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures, accepted by A&

Power of the Press: Studies of the Gospel Advocate, The Christian Standard, and the Christian-Evangelist

Based on the 1986 Reed Lectures, Power of the Press illustrates the important role that the Gospel Advocate, the Christian Standard, and the Christian-Evangelist played in shaping the identity of all three streams of the Stone-Campbell Movement in the nineteenth and early twentieth century. The essays also offer explanations as to why publishing offered such remarkable influence in this period.https://digitalcommons.acu.edu/acu_library_books/1020/thumbnail.jp

Constructing the World: Art and Economy 1919-1939 + Flashes of the Future

Thematic exhibitions, implying a heightened degree of historical awareness on the part of audiences, gain more traction in central Europe, with its turbulent past, than in Western Europe, where museums are under greater external pressures to entertain than to educate. They involve teamwork, are difficult to stage and promote, and wide open to criticism, for their partiality or inconsequentiality. Often, they reveal tensions between curatorial intent and the evidentiary nature of the work on d..

John Golding

There are plenty of critics who started out as artists, but rather fewer artists who enjoy any success as critics or historians. John Golding (1928-2012) excelled in several different fields at once: as author of a standard work on cubism (1959) and of a prizewinning collection of essays on the pioneers of abstraction (Paths to the Absolute, 2002); as occasional contributor to the New York Review of Books and The Burlington Magazine; as the teacher of a couple of generations of art historians..
