Three-Dimensional Reconstruction of Weak Lensing Mass Maps with a Sparsity Prior. I. Cluster Detection

Abstract

We propose a novel method to reconstruct high-resolution three-dimensional mass maps using data from photometric weak-lensing surveys. We apply an adaptive LASSO algorithm to perform a sparsity-based reconstruction on the assumption that the underlying cosmic density field is represented by a sum of Navarro-Frenk-White halos. We generate realistic mock galaxy shape catalogues by considering the shear distortions from isolated halos for the configurations matched to Subaru Hyper Suprime-Cam Survey with its photometric redshift estimates. We show that the adaptive method significantly reduces line-of-sight smearing that is caused by the correlation between the lensing kernels at different redshifts. Lensing clusters with lower mass limits of $10^{14.0}{h}^{-1}{M}_{\odot }$, $10^{14.7}{h}^{-1}{M}_{\odot }$, $10^{15.0}{h}^{-1}{M}_{\odot }$ can be detected with 1.5-$\sigma$ confidence at the low ($z<0.3$), median ($0.3\le z<0.6$) and high ($0.6\le z<0.85$) redshifts, respectively, with an average false detection rate of 0.022 deg${}^{-2}$. The estimated redshifts of the detected clusters are systematically lower than the true values by $\Delta z\sim 0.03$ for halos at $z\le 0.4$, but the relative redshift bias is below $0.5\%$ for clusters at $0.4<z\le 0.85$. The standard deviation of the redshift estimation is $0.092$. Our method enables direct three-dimensional cluster detection with accurate redshift estimates.
