Simulations of Weak Gravitational Lensing
We describe the simulation data produced by a pilot programme to compute mock weak gravitational lensing maps for a range of currently popular cosmological models by ray tracing through high-resolution N-body simulations. The programme required only a modest investment in computer time to produce maps accurate to arcminute scales covering hundreds of square degrees of sky for 4 cosmological mod...
متن کاملNumerical Simulations of Weak Lensing Measurements
Weak gravitational lensing induces distortions on the images of background galaxies, and thus provides a direct measure of mass fluctuations in the universe. The distortion signature from large-scale structure has recently been detected by several groups for the first time, opening promising prospects for the near future. Since the distortions induced by lensing on the images of background gala...
متن کاملAtomic inference from weak gravitational lensing data
We present a novel approach to reconstructing the projected mass distribution from the sparse and noisy weak gravitational lensing shear data. The reconstructions are regularised via the knowledge gained from numerical simulations of clusters, with trial mass distributions constructed from n NFW profile ellipsoidal components. The parameters of these “atoms” are distributed a priori as in the s...
متن کاملRay Tracing Simulations of Weak Lensing by Large-Scale Structure
We investigate weak lensing by large-scale structure using ray tracing through N-body simulations. Photon trajectories are followed through high resolution simulations of structure formation to make simulated maps of shear and convergence on the sky. Tests with varying numerical parameters are used to calibrate the accuracy of computed lensing statistics on angular scales from ∼ 1 arcminute to ...
متن کاملWeak Lensing Measurements in Simulations of Radio Images
We present a study of weak lensing shear measurements for simulated galaxy images at radio wavelengths. We construct a simulation pipeline into which we can input galaxy images of known shapelet ellipticity, and with which we then simulate observations with eMERLIN and the international LOFAR array. The simulations include the effects of the CLEAN algorithm, uv sampling, observing angle, and vi...
