FASTLens (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 ...
متن کاملStatistics of Weak Lensing by Large-scale Structure
We describe an efficient algorithm for calculating the statistics of weak lensing by large-scale structure based on a tiled set of independent particle-mesh N-body simulations which telescope in resolution along the line of sight. This efficiency allows us to predict not only the mean properties of lensing observables such as the power spectrum, skewness and kurtosis of the convergence, but als...
متن کاملThe effects of source clustering on weak lensing statistics
I investigate the effects of source clustering on the weak lensing statistics, more particularly on the statistical properties of the local convergence, κ, at large angular scales. The Perturbation Theory approach shows that the variance is not affected by source clustering at leading order but higher order moments such as the third and fourth moments can be. I compute the magnitude of these ef...
متن کاملMeasuring primordial non-Gaussianity through weak lensing peak counts
We explore the possibility of detecting primordial non-Gaussianity of the local type using weak-lensing peak counts. We measure the peak abundance in sets of simulated weak-lensing maps corresponding to three models f NL = 0, 100, and 100. Using survey specifications similar to those of EUCLID and without assuming any knowledge of the lens and source redshifts, we find the peak functions of the...
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...
