E/B mode decomposition of HSC-Y1 cosmic shear using COSEBIs: cosmological constraints and comparison with other two-point statistics

Abstract

We perform a cosmic shear analysis of HSC survey first-year data (HSC-Y1) using Complete Orthogonal Sets of E/B-Integrals (COSEBIs) to derive cosmological constraints. We compute E/B-mode COSEBIs from cosmic shear two-point correlation functions measured on an angular range of $4\arcmin<θ<180\arcmin$. We perform the standard Bayesian likelihood analysis for cosmological inference from the measured E-mode COSEBIs, including contributions from intrinsic alignments of galaxies as well as systematic effects from point spread function model errors, shear calibration uncertainties, and source redshift distribution errors. We adopt a covariance matrix derived from realistic mock catalogs constructed from full-sky gravitational lensing simulations that fully take account of the survey geometry and measurement noise. For a flat $\Lambda$ cold dark matter model, we find $S_8\equiv {\sigma }_8\sqrt{{\Omega }_m/0.3}=0.809_{-0.026}^{+0.036}$. We carefully check the robustness of the cosmological results against astrophysical modeling uncertainties and systematic uncertainties in measurements, and find that none of them has a significant impact on the cosmological constraints. We also find that the measured B-mode COSEBIs are consistent with zero. We examine, using mock HSC-Y1 data, the consistency of our $S_8$ constraints with those derived from the other cosmic shear two-point statistics, the power spectrum analysis by Hikage et al (2019) and the two-point correlation function analysis by Hamana et al (2020), which adopt the same HSC-Y1 shape catalog, and find that all the $S_8$ constraints are consistent with each other, although expected correlations between derived $S_8$ constraints are weak.
