Dark energy constraints and correlations with systematics from CFHTLS weak lensing, SNLS supernovae Ia and WMAP5
M. Kilbinger, K. Benabed, J. Guy +15
We combine measurements of weak gravitational lensing from the CFHTLS-Wide survey, supernovae Ia from CFHT SNLS and CMB anisotropies from WMAP5 to obtain joint constraints on cosmo…
Testing Gravity with the CFHTLS-Wide Cosmic Shear Survey and SDSS LRGs
O. Doré, M. Martig, Y. Mellier +7
General relativity as one the pillar of modern cosmology has to be thoroughly tested if we want to achieve an accurate cosmology. We present the results from such a test on cosmolo…
Comparing cosmic shear measures - Optimizing the Information content of cosmic shear data vectors
T. Eifler, M. Kilbinger, P. Schneider
We introduce an optimized data vector of cosmic shear measures (N). This data vector has high information content, is not sensitive against B-mode contamination and only shows smal…
Designing Weak Lensing Surveys: A Generalised Eigenmode Analysis
Martin Kilbinger, Dipak Munshi
We study the estimators of various second-order weak lensing statistics such as the shear correlation functions xi_\pm and the aperture mass dispersion <M_ap^2> which can directly…
Cosmological parameters from combined second- and third-order aperture mass statistics of cosmic shear
Martin Kilbinger, Peter Schneider
We present predictions for cosmological parameter constraints from combined measurements of second- and third-order statistics of cosmic shear. We define the generalized third-orde…
Cosmological Parameters from Cosmic Shear
Martin Kilbinger
We present simulations of a cosmic shear survey and show how the survey geometry influences the accuracy of determination of cosmological parameters. We numerically calculate the f…
