photo-3x2-pt: Cosmology from cosmic shear and galaxy clustering with a single photometric galaxy catalog

Abstract

We perform a joint cosmological analysis using angular power spectra of galaxy clustering, galaxy-shear cross correlation, and cosmic shear (hereafter referred to as photo-3x2-pt) measured from the Hyper Suprime-Cam year-3 (HSC-Y3) weak lensing shape catalog. We employ the pseudo-$C_{\ell }$ method to measure these power spectra and use the template deprojection method to mitigate systematics in the galaxy density maps. We perform a standard Bayesian likelihood analysis for cosmological inference based on the measured photo-3x2-pt, including contributions from intrinsic alignments of galaxies, galaxy clustering bias, lensing magnification effect, baryonic feedback effect, and source redshift distribution errors. For a flat cold dark matter model, we find a 68% credible interval of $0.76\le S_8\le 0.81$. This result is consistent with those of the HSC-Y3 cosmic shear analyses (Dalal et al. 2023, Li et al. 2023), but is $\sim 25$% tighter than theirs. We also perform a performance test using mock catalogs that mimic the HSC-Y3 data to validate our photo-3x2-pt analysis. Through Bayesian parameter inference of mock data, we verify that unbiased estimates can be obtained for the key cosmological and nuisance parameters, including $S_8$, model parameters of intrinsic alignment, galaxy clustering bias, and shift parameters of the source redshift distributions.
