Cosmological Constraints from Weak Lensing Surveys
Focusing on the well motivated aperture mass statistics Map, we study the possibility of constraining cosmological parameters using future space based SNAP class weak lensing missions. Using completely analytical results we construct the covariance matrix for estimators based on two-point and three-point statistics. Our approach incorporates an accurate modelling of higher-order statistics to d...
متن کاملWeak Lensing from Space Iii: Cosmological Parameters
Weak gravitational lensing provides a unique method to directly map the dark matter in the universe and measure cosmological parameters. The current weak lensing surveys are limited by the atmospheric seeing from the ground and by the small field of view of existing space telescopes. These limitations can be circumvented using wide field observations from space, such as those afforded by the fu...
متن کاملCosmological Model Predictions for Weak Lensing: Linear and Nonlinear Regimes
Weak lensing by large scale structure induces correlated ellipticities in the images of distant galaxies. The two-point correlation is determined by the matter power spectrum along the line of sight. We use the fully nonlinear evolution of the power spectrum to compute the predicted ellipticity correlation. We present results for different measures of the second moment for angular scales θ ≃ 1 ...
متن کاملWeak Lensing: Prospects for Measuring Cosmological Parameters
Weak lensing of galaxies by large-scale structure can potentially measure cosmological quantities as accurately as the cosmic microwave background (CMB). However, the relation between observables and fundamental parameters is more complex and degenerate, especially in the full space of adiabatic cold dark matter models considered here. We introduce a Fisher matrix analysis of the information co...
متن کاملCosmological Information from Quasar-Galaxy Correlations induced by Weak Lensing
The magnification bias of large-scale structures, combined with galaxy biasing, leads to a cross-correlation of distant quasars with foreground galaxies on angular scales of the order of arc minutes and larger. The amplitude and angular shape of the cross-correlation function wQG contain information on cosmological parameters and the galaxy bias factor. While the existence of this cross-correla...
