Dark Energy Survey Year 3 Results: clustering redshifts – calibration of the weak lensing source redshift distributions with <i>redMaGiC</i> and BOSS/eBOSS

چکیده

We present the calibration of Dark Energy Survey Year 3 (DES Y3) weak lensing source galaxy redshift distributions $n(z)$ from clustering measurements. In particular, we cross-correlate (WL) galaxies sample with redMaGiC (luminous red secure photometric redshifts) and a spectroscopic BOSS/eBOSS to estimate distribution DES sources sample. Two distinct methods for using statistics are described. The first uses information independently mean within window, as done in Y1 analysis. second method establishes likelihood data function $n(z)$, which can be incorporated into schemes generating samples subject combined constraints. Both incorporate marginalisation over various astrophysical systematics, including magnification redshift-dependent galaxy-matter bias. characterise uncertainties simulations; recovers $z$ tomographic bins RMS (precision) $\sim 0.014$. Use is shown vastly improve accuracy shape derived data. two then applied Y3

Testing the lognormality of the galaxy and weak lensing convergence distributions from Dark Energy Survey maps

It is well known that the probability distribution function (PDF) of galaxy density contrast is approximately lognormal; whether the PDF of mass fluctuations derived from weak lensing convergence (κWL) is lognormal is less well established. We derive PDFs of the galaxy and projected matter density distributions via the Counts in Cells (CiC) method. We use maps of galaxies and weak lensing conve...

Weak lensing and dark energy

We study the power of upcoming weak lensing surveys to probe dark energy. Dark energy modifies the distance-redshift relation as well as the matter power spectrum, both of which affect the weak lensing convergence power spectrum. Some dark-energy models predict additional clustering on very large scales, but this probably cannot be detected by weak lensing alone due to cosmic variance. With rea...

Weak lensing, dark matter and dark energy

Weak gravitational lensing is rapidly becoming one of the principal probes of dark matter and dark energy in the universe. In this brief review we outline how weak lensing helps determine the structure of dark matter halos, measure the expansion rate of the universe, and distinguish between modified gravity and dark energy explanations for the acceleration of the universe. We also discuss requi...

Can a galaxy redshift survey measure dark energy clustering?

A wide-field galaxy redshift survey allows one to probe galaxy clustering at largest spatial scales, which carries invaluable information on horizon-scale physics complementarily to the cosmic microwave background (CMB). Assuming the planned survey consisting of z ∼ 1 and z ∼ 3 surveys with areas of 2000 and 300 deg, respectively, we study the prospects for probing dark energy clustering from t...

Measuring neutrino masses and dark energy with weak lensing tomography

Surveys of weak gravitational lensing of distant galaxies will be one of the key cosmological probes in the future. We study the ability of such surveys to constrain neutrino masses and the equation of state parameter of the dark energy, focussing on how tomographic information can improve the sensitivity to these parameters. We also provide a detailed discussion of systematic effects pertinent...
