Cross-correlating Sunyaev–Zel’dovich and weak lensing maps
We present novel statistical tools to cross-correlate frequency cleaned thermal Sunyaev– Zel’dovich (tSZ) maps and tomographic weak lensing (wl) convergence maps. Moving beyond the lowest order cross-correlation, we introduce a hierarchy of mixed higher order statistics, the cumulants and cumulant correlators, to analyse non-Gaussianity in real space, as well as corresponding polyspectra in the...
متن کاملOn Cross-correlating Weak Lensing Surveys
ABSTRACT The present generation of weak lensing surveys will be superseded by surveys run from space with much better sky coverage and high level of signal to noise ratio, such as SNAP. However, removal of any systematics or noise will remain a major cause of concern for any weak lensing survey. One of the best ways of spotting any undetected source of systematic noise is to compare surveys whi...
متن کاملWeak Lensing Detection in CMB Maps
The weak lensing effects are known to change only weakly the shape of the power spectrum of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) temperature fluctuations. I show here that they nonetheless induce specific non-Gaussian effects that can be detectable with the fourpoint correlation function of the CMB anisotropies. The magnitude and geometrical dependences of this correlation function are investi...
متن کاملStudying the LSS through weak gravitational lensing maps
Weak gravitational lensing is a promising tool for the study of the mass distribution in the Universe. Here we report some partial results that show how lensing maps can be used to differentiate between cosmological models. We pay special attention to the role of noise and smoothing. As an application, we use mock convergence fields constructed from N-body simulations of the large-scale structu...
متن کاملWeak Lensing
In the preceding chapters, the effects of lensing were so strong as to leave an unmistakable imprint on a specific source, allowing a detailed treatment. However, only the densest regions of the universe are able to provide such a spectacular lensing effect. To study more representative regions of the universe, we must examine large numbers of sources statistically. This is the domain of weak l...
