Second 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,...

Simulating Weak Lensing by Large Scale Structure

We model weak gravitational lensing of light by large-scale structure using ray tracing through N-body simulations. The method is described with particular attention paid to numerical convergence. We investigate some of the key approximations in the multi-plane ray tracing algorithm. Our simulated shear and convergence maps are used to explore how well standard assumptions about weak lensing ho...

Second Order Corrections to Large Scale Structure Weak Lensing: Background Source Clustering

We discuss the second order contributions to lensing statistics resulting from the clustering of background sources from which galaxy shape measurements are made in weak lensing experiments. In addition to a previously discussed contribution to the lensing skewness, background source clustering also contributes to the two-point correlation function, such as the angular power spectrum of converg...

Statistics of Weak Lensing by Large-scale Structure

We describe an efficient algorithm for calculating the statistics of weak lensing by large-scale structure based on a tiled set of independent particle-mesh N-body simulations which telescope in resolution along the line of sight. This efficiency allows us to predict not only the mean properties of lensing observables such as the power spectrum, skewness and kurtosis of the convergence, but als...

Numerical Investigations of Weak Lensing by Large-scale Structure

We use numerical simulations of ray tracing through N-body simulations to investigate weak lensing by large-scale structure. These are needed for testing the analytic predictions of twopoint correlators, to set error estimates on them and to investigate nonlinear gravitational effects in the weak lensing maps. On scales larger than 1 degree gaussian statistics suffice and can be used to estimat...
