Self Calibration of Gravitational Shear-galaxy Intrinsic Ellipticity Correlation in Weak Lensing Surveys
The existence of non-random galaxy intrinsic ellipticity severely challenges precision cosmic shear measurement. We propose to self calibrate the induced gravitational shear-galaxy intrinsic ellipticity contamination (the GI correlation, Hirata & Seljak 2004) using extra information encoded in the same weak lensing survey. Besides the galaxy ellipticity-galaxy ellipticity correlation, the same ...
متن کاملCross-correlation search for periodic gravitational waves
In this paper we study the use of cross correlations between multiple gravitational wave (GW) data streams for detecting long-lived periodic signals. Cross-correlation searches between data from multiple detectors have traditionally been used to search for stochastic GW signals, but recently they have also been used in directed searches for periodic GWs. Here we further adapt the cross-correlat...
متن کاملCalibrating the self-thinning frontier
Calibration of the self-thinning frontier in even-aged monocultures is hampered by scarce data and by subjective decisions about the proximity of data to the frontier. We present a simple model that applies to observations of the full trajectory of stand mean diameter across a range of densities not close to the frontier. Development of the model is based on a consideration of the slope s = ln(...
متن کاملThe Gravitational Shear–intrinsic Ellipticity Correlation Functions of Luminous Red Galaxies in Observation and in the Λcdm Model
We examine whether the gravitational shear–intrinsic ellipticity (GI) correlation function of the luminous red galaxies (LRGs) can be modeled with the distribution function of a misalignment angle advocated recently by Okumura et al. For this purpose, we have accurately measured the GI correlation for the LRGs in the Data Release 6 (DR6) of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), which confirms th...
متن کاملEffects of Ellipticity and Shear on Gravitational Lens Statistics
We study the effects of ellipticity in lens galaxies and external tidal shear from neighboring objects on the statistics of strong gravitational lenses. For isothermal lens galaxies normalized so that the Einstein radius is independent of ellipticity and shear, ellipticity reduces the lensing cross section slightly, and shear leaves it unchanged. Ellipticity and shear can significantly enhance ...
