Numerical Study of the Cosmic Shear
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study cosmic shear statistics using the ray-tracing simulation combined with a set of large N-body simulations. In this contribution, we first describe our method. Then we show some selected results especially focusing on effects of the deflection of light rays and the lens-lens coupling which are neglected in making the theoretical predictions of the cosmic shear statistics.

The non-Gaussian tail of cosmic-shear statistics
Due to gravitational instability, an initially Gaussian density field develops non-Gaussian features as the Universe evolves. The most prominent nonGaussian features are massive haloes, visible as clusters of galaxies. The distortion of high-redshift galaxy images due to the tidal gravitational field of the large-scale matter distribution, called cosmic shear, can be used to investigate the sta...
متن کاملThe cosmic shear three-point functions
We investigate the three-point functions of the weak lensing cosmic shear, using both analytic methods and numerical results from N-body simulations. The analytic model, an isolated dark matter halo with a powerlaw profile chosen to fit the effective index at the scale probed, can be used to understand the basic properties of the eight three-point functions observed in simulations. We use this ...
متن کاملTHEORETICAL AND NUMERICAL STUDY ON THE STRENGTHENED STEEL PLATE SHEAR WALLS BY FRP LAMINATES
In this paper, nonlinear behavior of strengthened steel plate shear walls (SPSWs) by FRP laminates theoretically and numerically has been investigated. In the first part, a new method, “the composite-plate frame Interaction (C-PFI) method”, has been introduced to predict the shear behavior of the composite steel plate shear wall systems (CSPSWs). In the second part, several models of one-story ...
متن کاملThe three-point correlation function of cosmic shear. II: Relation to the bispectrum of the projected mass density and generalized third-order aperture measures
Abstract. Cosmic shear, the distortion of images of high-redshift sources by the intervening inhomogeneous matter distribution in the Universe, has become one of the essential tools for observational cosmology, since it was first measured in 2000. Since then, several surveys have been conducted and analyzed in terms of second-order shear statistics. Current surveys are on the verge of providing...
متن کاملAnalysis of two - point statistics of cosmic shear III . Covariances of shear measures made easy
Aims. In recent years cosmic shear, the weak gravitational lensing effect by the large-scale structure of the Universe, has proven to be one of the observational pillars on which the cosmological concordance model is founded. Several cosmic shear statistics have been developed in order to analyze data from surveys. For the covariances of the prevalent second-order measures we present simple and...
