Numerical complexity of the joint nulled weak-lensing probability distribution function

چکیده
In the context of tomographic cosmic shear surveys, there exists a nulling transformation weak lensing observations (also called BNT transform) that allows us to simplify correlation structure observations, as well build observables depend only on localized range redshifts and thus independent from low-redshift/small-scale modes. This procedure renders possible accurate, from-first-principles, predictions convergence aperture mass one-point distributions (PDF). We here explore other consequences this (reduced) numerical complexity estimation joint PDF between nulled bins demonstrate how use these results make theoretical predictions.

A Universal Probability Distribution Function for Weak-lensing Amplification
We present an approximate form for the weak lensing magnification distribution of standard candles, valid for all cosmological models, with arbitrary matter distributions, over all redshifts. Our results are based on a universal probability distribution function (UPDF), P (η), for the reduced convergence, η. For a given cosmological model, the magnification probability distribution, P (μ), at r...
متن کاملWeak lensing of the CMB: Cumulants of the probability distribution function
We discuss the real-space moments of temperature anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background ~CMB! due to weak gravitational lensing by intervening large-scale structure. We show that if the probability distribution function of primordial temperature anisotropies is Gaussian, then it remains unchanged after gravitational lensing. With finite resolution, however, nonzero higher-order cumulan...
متن کاملThe Statistics of Weak Lensing at Small Angular Scales: Probability Distribution Function
Weak gravitational lensing surveys have the potential to directly probe mass density fluctuation in the universe. Recent studies have shown that it is possible to model the statistics of the convergence field at small angular scales by modeling the statistics of the underlying density field in the highly nonlinear regime. We propose a new method to model the complete probability distribution fu...
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 کاملConstraining the Mass Distribution of Cluster Galaxies by Weak Lensing
Analysing the weak lensing distortions of the images of faint background galaxies provides a means to constrain the mass distribution of cluster galaxies and potentially to test the extent of their dark matter halos as a function of the density of the environment. Here I describe simulations of observational data and present a maximum likelihood method to infer the average properties of an ense...
