The 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 کاملStatistics of Weak Lensing at Small Angular Scales: Analytical Predictions for Lower Order Moments
Weak lensing surveys are expected to provide direct measurements of the statistics of the projected dark matter distribution. Most analytical studies of weak lensing statistics have been limited to quasilinear scales as they relied on perturbative calculations. On the other hand, observational surveys are likely to probe angular scales less than 10 arcminutes, for which the relevant physical le...
متن کاملA 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 کاملFASTLens (FAst STatistics for weak Lensing) : Fast method for Weak Lensing Statistics and map making
With increasingly large data sets, weak lensing measurements are able to measure cosmological parameters with ever greater precision. However this increased accuracy also places greater demands on the statistical tools used to extract the available information. To date, the majority of lensing analyses use the two point-statistics of the cosmic shear field. These can either be studied directly ...
