PSF calibration requirements for dark energy from cosmic shear
Context. The control of systematic effects when measuring background galaxy shapes is one of the main challenges for cosmic shear analyses. Aims. Study the fundamental limitations on shear accuracy due to the measurement of the point spread function (PSF) from the finite number of stars that are available. We translate the accuracy required for cosmological parameter estimation to the minimum n...
متن کاملSize of spectroscopic calibration samples for cosmic shear photometric redshifts
Weak gravitational lensing surveys using photometric redshifts can have their cosmological constraints severely degraded by errors in the photo-z scale. We explore the cosmological degradation vs the size of the spectroscopic survey required to calibrate the photo-z probability distribution. Previous work has assumed a simple Gaussian distribution of photo-z errors; here we describe a method fo...
متن کاملCosmic Calibration
The complexity and accuracy of current and future “precision cosmology” observational campaigns has made it essential to develop an efficient technique for directly combining simulation and observational datasets to determine cosmological and model parameters; a procedure we term calibration. Once a satisfactory calibration of the underlying cosmological model is achieved, independent predictio...
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 ...
متن کاملCosmic Shear with Keck: Systematic Effects
Cosmic shear probes the distribution of dark matter via gravitational lensing of distant, background galaxies. We describe our cosmic shear survey consisting of deep blank fields observed with the Keck II telescope. We have found biases in the standard weak lensing analysis, which are enhanced by the elongated geometry of the Keck fields. We show how these biases can be diagnosed and corrected ...
