Robust Photometry for Roman High-Latitude Imaging Survey Cosmology Using Roman and Rubin Imaging
Chun-Hao To, Tae-Hyeon Shin, Chihway Chang +18
Accurate and precise photometry is essential for Roman cosmology because it affects photometric-redshift performance, galaxy and cluster selection, tomographic binning, and redshif…
Modeling the impact of filter-substrate refraction in the Roman point spread function
Federico Berlfein, Rachel Mandelbaum, Tianqing Zhang +4
For broadband imaging surveys, filter-substrate refraction causes light at different wavelengths to follow slightly different paths through the filter substrate before reaching the…
Diagnosing the Effects of Spectroscopic Training Set Imperfection on Photometric Redshift Performance
Alice Crafford, Alex I. Malz, Tianqing Zhang +11
Most LSST extragalactic science will rely on photometric redshifts (photo-) to extract distance information for the galaxies. However, an incomplete or non-representative traini…
Chromatic Effects on the PSF and Shear Measurement for the Roman Space Telescope High-Latitude Wide Area Survey
Federico Berlfein, Rachel Mandelbaum, Xiangchong Li +3
Weak gravitational lensing (WL) is a key cosmological probe that requires precise measurement of galaxy images to infer shape distortions, or shear, and constrain cosmology. Accura…
