Cosmological Constraints from Weak Lensing Surveys
Focusing on the well motivated aperture mass statistics Map, we study the possibility of constraining cosmological parameters using future space based SNAP class weak lensing missions. Using completely analytical results we construct the covariance matrix for estimators based on two-point and three-point statistics. Our approach incorporates an accurate modelling of higher-order statistics to d...
متن کاملSecond Order Corrections to Weak Lensing by Large-scale Structure
We calculate corrections to the power spectrum predictions of weak lensing by large scale structure due to higher order effects in the gravitational potential. Using a perturbative approach to third order in transverse displacements, we calculate a second order correction to the angular power spectra of E and B mode shear and convergence resulting from dropping the so-called Born approximation,...
متن کاملMeasuring primordial non-Gaussianity through weak lensing peak counts
We explore the possibility of detecting primordial non-Gaussianity of the local type using weak-lensing peak counts. We measure the peak abundance in sets of simulated weak-lensing maps corresponding to three models f NL = 0, 100, and 100. Using survey specifications similar to those of EUCLID and without assuming any knowledge of the lens and source redshifts, we find the peak functions of the...

متن کاملGravitational lensing statistics and constraints on the cosmological constant revisited
We re-analyze constraints on the cosmological constant that can be obtained by examining the statistics of strong gravitational lensing of distant quasars by intervening galaxies, focusing on on uncertainties in galaxy models (including velocity dispersion, luminosity functions, core radii and magnification bias effects) and on the parameters of the galaxy distribution and luminosity functions....
