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.

  1. Taming Additive Systematics via Redshift-Bin-Optimized Star-Galaxy Separation

    astro-ph.CO 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Redshift-bin-optimized color cuts using unWISE photometry reduce stellar contamination in the DES Y3 MagLim lens sample by 1.3-5.5% varying across bins and footprint.

  2. Secondary Dependence of Baryonic Effects on the Density Profile of Dark Matter Halos

    astro-ph.CO 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    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%).

  3. KiDS+VIKING-450 cosmology with Bayesian hierarchical model redshift distributions

    astro-ph.CO 2026-05 conditional novelty 4.0

    Bayesian hierarchical modeling of photometric redshifts in KiDS+VIKING-450 raises S8 to 0.756 ± 0.039 and reduces Planck tension to 1.9σ.
