Cosmic shear and biasing
The correlation between cosmic shear as measured by the image distortion of high-redshift galaxies and the number counts of foreground galaxies is calculated. For a given power spectrum of the cosmic density fluctuations, this correlation is proportional to the bias factor, which can thus directly be measured. In addition, this correlation provides a firstorder measure of cosmic shear and is th...
متن کاملPilot and Cosmic Shear
Cosmic shear offers a remarkbly clean way to measure the equation of state of the Universe and its evolution. Resolution over a wide field is paramount, and Antarctica offers unique possibilities in this respect. There is an order of magnitude gain in speed over temperate sites, or a factor three in surface density. This means that PILOT outperforms much larger telescopes elsewhere, and can com...

متن کاملCosmic Shear from Galaxy Spins.
We discuss the origin of galactic angular momentum and the statistics of the present-day spin distribution. It is expected that the galaxy spin axes are correlated with the intermediate principal axis of the gravitational shear tensor. This allows one to reconstruct the shear field and thereby the full gravitational potential from the observed galaxy spin fields. We use the direction of the ang...
متن کاملCosmological Parameters from Cosmic Shear
For a thorough introduction to cosmic shear, see the review of Réfrégier [1] in this volume. Since its first detection in 2000, cosmic shear has proven to be a valuable tool for cosmology. Constraints on cosmological parameters, in particular the (dark+luminous) matter density Ωm and the power spectrum normalization σ8 has been obtained from cosmic shear surveys with observed areas of up to sev...
