UNIONS-3500 weak lensing data yields S_8 = 0.831^{+0.067}_{-0.078} in flat LCDM from 2D cosmic shear, consistent with Planck within 1 sigma.
An approximate multivariate Student-t likelihood is derived for the convolution of an inverse-Wishart-based Student-t with Gaussian errors by matching covariance and multivariate kurtosis.
Bayesian hierarchical modeling of photometric redshifts in KiDS+VIKING-450 raises S8 to 0.756 ± 0.039 and reduces Planck tension to 1.9σ.
