Fast n-point correlation functions and three-point lensing application
We present a new algorithm to rapidly compute the two-point (2PCF), three-point (3PCF) and n-point (n-PCF) correlation functions in roughly O(N) time for N particles, instead of O(Nn) as required by brute force approaches. This technique exploits node-to-node correlations of a recursive bisectional binary tree. A balanced tree construction minimizes the depth of the tree and the worst case erro...
متن کاملMeasuring the Galaxy-Galaxy-Mass Three-point Correlation Function with Weak Gravitational Lensing
We discuss the galaxy-galaxy-mass three-point correlation function and show how to measure it with weak gravitational lensing. The method entails choosing a large of pairs of foreground lens galaxies and constructing a mean shear map with respect to their axis, by averaging the ellipticities of background source galaxies. An average mass map can be reconstructed from this shear map and this wil...
متن کاملControlling intrinsic-shear alignment in three-point weak lensing statistics
Three-point weak lensing statistics provide cosmic information that complements two-point statistics. However, both statistics suffer from intrinsic-shear alignment, which is one of their limiting systematics. The nulling technique is a model-independent method developed to eliminate intrinsic-shear alignment at the two-point level. In this paper we demonstrate that the nulling technique can al...
متن کاملCross-correlation Weak Lensing of Sdss Galaxy Clusters I: Measurements
This is the first in a series of papers on the weak lensing effect caused by clusters of galaxies in Sloan Digital Sky Survey. The photometrically selected cluster sample, known as MaxBCG, includes ∼130,000 objects between redshift 0.1 and 0.3, ranging in size from small groups to massive clusters. We split the clusters into bins of richness and luminosity and stack the surface density contrast...
