Neutrino physics from future weak lensing surveys
Given recent indications of additional neutrino species and cosmologically significant neutrino masses, we analyze their signatures in the weak lensing shear power spectrum. We find that a shear deficit in the 20-40% range or excess in the 20-80% range cannot be explained by variations in parameters of the flat ΛCDM model that are allowed by current observations of the expansion history from Ty...
متن کاملMining Weak Lensing Surveys
We present a survey of the cosmological applications of the next generation of weak lensing surveys, paying special attention to the computational challenges presented by the number of galaxies, N gal ∼ 10 5. We focus on optimal methods with no pixelization and derive a multigrid P 3 M algorithm that performs the relevant computations in O(N gal log N gal) time. We test the algorithm by studyin...
متن کاملCosmology with weak lensing surveys.
Weak gravitational lensing is responsible for the shearing and magnification of the images of high-redshift sources due to the presence of intervening mass. Since the lensing effects arise from deflections of the light rays due to fluctuations of the gravitational potential, they can be directly related to the underlying density field of the large-scale structures. Weak gravitational surveys ar...
متن کاملCluster detection in weak lensing surveys
We present an efficient and robust approach for extracting clusters of galaxies from weak lensing survey data and measuring their properties. We use simple, physically-motivated cluster models appropriate for such sparse, noisy data, and incorporate our knowledge of the cluster mass function to optimise the detection of low-mass objects. Despite the method’s non-linear nature, we are able to se...
متن کاملShear calibration biases in weak lensing surveys
We investigate biases induced by the conversion between the observed image shape to shear distortion in current weak lensing analysis methods. Such overall calibration biases cannot be detected by the standard tests such as E/B decomposition or calibration with stars. We find that the non-Gaussianity of point spread function has a significant effect and can lead to up to 15 per cent error on th...
