چکیده
ABSTRACT We present and characterize the galaxy shape catalogue from first 3 yr of Dark Energy Survey (DES) observations, over an effective area 4143 deg2 southern sky. describe our data analysis process self-calibrating shear measurement pipeline metacalibration, which builds improves upon used in DES Year 1 several aspects. The weak-lensing consists 100 204 026 galaxies, measured riz bands, resulting a weighted source number density neff = 5.59 gal arcmin−2 corresponding noise σe 0.261. perform battery internal null tests on catalogue, including systematics related to point spread function (PSF) modelling, spurious B-mode signals, contamination, properties.

Weak lensing and dark energy
We study the power of upcoming weak lensing surveys to probe dark energy. Dark energy modifies the distance-redshift relation as well as the matter power spectrum, both of which affect the weak lensing convergence power spectrum. Some dark-energy models predict additional clustering on very large scales, but this probably cannot be detected by weak lensing alone due to cosmic variance. With rea...
متن کاملWeak lensing, dark matter and dark energy
Weak gravitational lensing is rapidly becoming one of the principal probes of dark matter and dark energy in the universe. In this brief review we outline how weak lensing helps determine the structure of dark matter halos, measure the expansion rate of the universe, and distinguish between modified gravity and dark energy explanations for the acceleration of the universe. We also discuss requi...
متن کاملPredicted Dark Energy Constraints using 3D Weak Lensing
I hereby present two different methods that will allow weak lensing shape measurements of galaxies combined with redshift information – 3D weak lensing – to constrain the dark energy equation of state. The two methods are the geometric ratio test (Taylor et al. 2007) and a shear harmonic test (Heavens et al. 2006). The results presented here use a Fisher matrix approach for each method to place...
متن کاملDark Energy Constraints from Weak Lensing Cross-correlation Cosmography
We present a method to implement the idea of Jain & Taylor (2003) to constrain cosmological parameters with weak gravitational lensing. Photometric redshift information on foreground galaxies is used to produce templates of the mass structure at foreground slices zl, and the predicted distortion field is cross-correlated with the measured shapes of sources at redshift zs. The variation of the c...
متن کاملMeasuring neutrino masses and dark energy with weak lensing tomography
Surveys of weak gravitational lensing of distant galaxies will be one of the key cosmological probes in the future. We study the ability of such surveys to constrain neutrino masses and the equation of state parameter of the dark energy, focussing on how tomographic information can improve the sensitivity to these parameters. We also provide a detailed discussion of systematic effects pertinent...
