CMB Cluster Lensing: Cosmography with the Longest Lever Arm
We discuss combining gravitational lensing of galaxies and the cosmic microwave background (CMB) by clusters to measure cosmographic distance ratios, and hence dark energy parameters. Advantages to using the CMB as the second source plane, instead of galaxies, include: a welldetermined source distance, a longer lever arm for distance ratios, typically up to an order of magnitude higher sensitiv...
متن کاملCalibrating CMB Polarization Telescopes
Instruments for measuring the polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) must be designed for accuracy as well as precision. The requirement for precision translates into a need for detectors with unprecedented sensitivity. Accuracy requires good methods for calibrating the response of the instrument to small polarized signals superimposed on large unpolarized signals. Since well-cha...
متن کاملIntracluster Comptonization of the Cmb: Mean Spectral Distortion and Cluster Number Counts
The mean sky-averaged Comptonization parameter, y, describing the scattering of the CMBby hot gas in clusters of galaxies is calculated in an array of flat and open cosmological and dark matter models. The models are globally normalized to fit cluster X-ray data, and intracluster gas is assumed to have evolved in a manner consistent with current observations. We predict values of y lower than t...
متن کاملThe impact of correlated projections on weak lensing cluster counts
Large-scale structure projections are an obstacle in converting the shear signal of clusters detected in weak-lensing maps into virial masses. However, this step is not necessary for constraining cosmology with the shear-peak abundance, if we are able to predict its amplitude. We generate a large ensemble of N-body simulations spanning four cosmological models, with total volume V tot 1(h -1 Gp...
متن کاملGalaxy Number Counts and Implications for Strong Lensing
We compare galaxy number counts in Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) fields containing moderate-redshift (0.2 < z < 1.0) strong gravitational lenses with those in two comparison samples: (1) the first square degree of the COSMOS survey, comprising 259 ACS fields and (2) 20 “pure parallel” fields randomly located on the sky. Through a Bayesian analysis we determine the expectation values (μ0) an...
