Cosmic Magnification
I present the current status of the cosmic magnification produced by systematic amplification of background sources by large-scale structures. After introducing its principle, I focus on its interests for cosmology and underline its complementary aspect to cosmic shear and galaxy auto-correlations. I finally discuss recent investigations using higher-order statistics.
متن کاملPrecision measurement of cosmic magnification from 21 cm emitting galaxies
We show how precision lensing measurements can be obtained through the lensing magnification effect in high redshift 21cm emission from galaxies. Normally, cosmic magnification measurements have been seriously complicated by galaxy clustering. With precise redshifts obtained from 21cm emission line wavelength, one can correlate galaxies at different source planes, or exclude close pairs to elim...
متن کاملIntrinsic Images by Clustering
Decomposing an input image into its intrinsic shading and reflectance components is a long-standing ill-posed problem. We present a novel algorithm that requires no user strokes and works on a single image. Based on simple assumptions about its reflectance and luminance, we first find clusters of similar reflectance in the image, and build a linear system describing the connections and relation...
متن کاملThe Cosmic Distribution of Clustering
For a given statistic, A, the cosmic distribution function, Υ(Ã), is the probability of measuring a value à in a finite galaxy catalog. For statistics related to count-in-cells, such as factorial moments, Fk, the average correlation function, ξ, and cumulants, SN , the functions Υ(F̃k), Υ( ̃ ξ), and Υ(S̃N ) were measured in a large τCDM simulation. This N-body experiment simulates almost the full ...
متن کاملThe removal of shear - ellipticity correlations from the cosmic shear signal via nulling techniques
Aims. To render cosmic shear an astronomical tool of high precision, it is essential to eliminate systematic effects upon its signal, one of the most significant ones being the intrinsic alignment of galaxies. The alignment in tidal fields that are created by the surrounding matter structure induces correlations between the intrinsic ellipticities of source galaxies, as well as correlations bet...
