KiDS-Legacy: Joint analysis of second- and third-order cosmic shear
L. Linke, L. Porth, P. Burger +21
Weak lensing by large-scale structure is a powerful cosmological probe. While most analyses rely on second-order correlations, these are primarily sensitive to the parameter combin…
TopoFisher: Learning Topological Summary Statistics by Maximizing Fisher Information
Matteo Biagetti, Mathieu Carrière, Francesco Conti +3
Persistence diagrams provide stable, interpretable summaries of geometric and topological structure and are useful for simulation-based inference when low-order statistics miss key…
A roadmap to cosmological parameter analysis with third-order shear statistics IV. Analytic cross-covariance between second- and third-order aperture masses
Niek Wielders, Laila Linke, Pierre A. Burger +3
Weak gravitational lensing is a powerful probe of cosmology, with second-order shear statistics commonly used to constrain parameters such as the matter density and…
KiDS-1000 and DES-Y1 combined: Cosmology from peak count statistics
Joachim Harnois-Deraps, Sven Heydenreich, Benjamin Giblin +10
We analyse the fourth data release of the Kilo Degree Survey (KiDS-1000) and extract cosmological parameter constraints based on the cosmic shear peak count statistics. Peaks are i…
