چکیده
We study cross correlations between line intensity and weak lensing maps to search for axion-like particles (ALPs). Radiative decay of eV-mass ALPs can contribute cosmic background emissions at optical infrared wavelengths. Line mapping is a unique means measuring the emission given photon frequency.

Cross-correlating Sunyaev–Zel’dovich and weak lensing maps
We present novel statistical tools to cross-correlate frequency cleaned thermal Sunyaev– Zel’dovich (tSZ) maps and tomographic weak lensing (wl) convergence maps. Moving beyond the lowest order cross-correlation, we introduce a hierarchy of mixed higher order statistics, the cumulants and cumulant correlators, to analyse non-Gaussianity in real space, as well as corresponding polyspectra in the...
متن کاملWeak Lensing Detection in CMB Maps
The weak lensing effects are known to change only weakly the shape of the power spectrum of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) temperature fluctuations. I show here that they nonetheless induce specific non-Gaussian effects that can be detectable with the fourpoint correlation function of the CMB anisotropies. The magnitude and geometrical dependences of this correlation function are investi...
متن کاملDetecting axionlike particles with gamma ray telescopes.
We propose that axionlike particles (ALPs) with a two-photon vertex, consistent with all astrophysical and laboratory bounds, may lead to a detectable signature in the spectra of high-energy gamma-ray sources. This occurs as a result of gamma rays being converted into ALPs in the magnetic fields of efficient astrophysical accelerators according to the "Hillas criterion", such as jets of active ...
متن کاملStrong and weak lensing united I: the combined strong and weak lensing cluster mass reconstruction method
Weak gravitational lensing is considered to be one of the most powerful tools to study the mass and the mass distribution of galaxy clusters. However, the mass-sheet degeneracy transformation has limited its success. We present a novel method for a cluster mass reconstruction which combines weak and strong lensing information on common scales and can, as a consequence, break the mass-sheet dege...
متن کاملCluster Mass Profiles from Weak Lensing II
When a cluster gravitationally lenses faint background galaxies, its tidal gravitational field distorts their shapes (shear effect) and its magnification effect changes the observed number density. In Schneider, King & Erben (2000) we developed likelihood techniques to compare the constraints on cluster mass profiles that can be obtained using the shear and magnification information. This work ...
