E - and B - mode mixing from incomplete knowledge of the shear correlation ( Research Note )
Aims. We quantify the mixing of the measured cosmic shear Eand B-mode due to the lack of shear correlation measurements on small and large scales, which arises due to the lack of close projected galaxy pairs and the finite field size, respectively. Methods. We calculate the aperture mass statistics 〈M2 ap,⊥〉 and the E-/B-mode shear correlation functions ξE,B± with smalland large-scale cut-offs ...
متن کاملThe ring statistics – how to separate E- and B-modes of cosmic shear correlation functions on a finite interval
Aims. Cosmic shear, the distortion of images of distant sources by the tidal gravitational field of the large-scale matter distribution in the Universe, is one of the most powerful cosmological probes. The measured shear field may be due not only to the gravitational lensing effect, but may contain systematic effects from the measurement process or intrinsic alignment of galaxy shapes. One of t...
متن کاملA new cosmic shear function: Optimised E-/B-mode decomposition on a finite interval
The decomposition of the cosmic shear field into Eand B-mode is an important diagnostic in weak gravitational lensing. However, commonly used techniques to perform this separation suffer from mode-mixing on very small or very large scales. We introduce a new E-/B-mode decomposition of the cosmic shear two-point correlation on a finite interval. This new statistic is optimised for cosmological a...
متن کاملThe covariance of cosmic shear correlation functions and cosmological parameter estimates using redshift information
Cosmological weak lensing by the large scale structure of the Universe, cosmic shear, is coming of age as a powerful probe of the parameters describing the cosmological model and matter power spectrum. It complements Cosmic Microwave Background studies, by breaking degeneracies and providing a cross-check. Furthermore, upcoming cosmic shear surveys with photometric redshift information will ena...
متن کاملMeasuring cosmic shear with the ring statistics
Context. Commonly used methods to decompose Eand B-modes in cosmic shear, namely the aperture mass dispersion and the E/B-mode shear correlation function, suffer from incomplete knowledge of the two-point correlation function (2PCF) on very small and/or very large scales. The ring statistics, the most recently developed cosmic shear measure, improves on this issue and is able to decompose Eand ...
