Interpretability of deep-learning methods applied to large-scale structure surveys

Gaspard Aymerich, Tomasz Kacprzak, Alexandre Refregier

Deep learning and convolutional neural networks in particular are powerful and promising tools for cosmological analysis of large-scale structure surveys. They are already providin…

Fast Generation of Covariance Matrices for Weak Lensing

Raphael Sgier, Alexandre Réfrégier, Adam Amara +1

Upcoming weak lensing surveys will probe large fractions of the sky with unprecedented accuracy. To infer cosmological constraints, a large ensemble of survey simulations are requi…

Lensing substructure quantification in RXJ1131-1231: A 2 keV lower bound on dark matter thermal relic mass

Simon Birrer, Adam Amara, Alexandre Refregier

We study the substructure content of the strong gravitational lens RXJ1131-1231 through a forward modelling approach that relies on generating an extensive suite of realistic simul…

Line-of-sight effects in strong lensing: Putting theory into practice

Simon Birrer, Cyril Welschen, Adam Amara +1

We present a simple method to accurately infer line of sight (LOS) integrated lensing effects for galaxy scale strong lens systems through image reconstruction. Our approach enable…

Inference from the small scales of cosmic shear with current and future Dark Energy Survey data

N. MacCrann, J. Aleksić, A. Amara +61

Cosmic shear is sensitive to fluctuations in the cosmological matter density field, including on small physical scales, where matter clustering is affected by baryonic physics in g…
