Large Synoptic Survey Telescope: Dark Energy Science Collaboration
LSST Dark Energy Science Collaboration
This white paper describes the LSST Dark Energy Science Collaboration (DESC), whose goal is the study of dark energy and related topics in fundamental physics with data from the La…
General Requirements on Matter Power Spectrum Predictions for Cosmology with Weak Lensing Tomography
Andrew P. Hearin, Andrew R. Zentner, Zhaoming Ma
Forthcoming projects such as DES, LSST, WFIRST, and Euclid aim to measure weak lensing shear correlations with unprecedented precision, constraining the dark energy equation of sta…
A General Study of the Influence of Catastrophic Photometric Redshift Errors on Cosmology with Cosmic Shear Tomography
Andrew P. Hearin, Andrew R. Zentner, Zhaoming Ma +1
A goal of forthcoming imaging surveys is to use weak gravitational lensing shear measurements to constrain dark energy. We quantify the importance of uncalibrated photometric redsh…
Diagnosing space telescope misalignment and jitter using stellar images
Zhaoming Ma, Gary Bernstein, Alan Weinstein +1
Accurate knowledge of the telescope's point spread function (PSF) is essential for the weak gravitational lensing measurements that hold great promise for cosmological constraints.…
Size of spectroscopic calibration samples for cosmic shear photometric redshifts
Zhaoming Ma, Gary Bernstein
Weak gravitational lensing surveys using photometric redshifts can have their cosmological constraints severely degraded by errors in the photo-z scale. We explore the cosmological…
The nonlinear matter power spectrum
Zhaoming Ma
We modify the public PM code developed by Anatoly Klypin and Jon Holtzman to simulate cosmology with arbitrary initial power spectrum and equation of state of dark energy. With thi…
