Bayesian Galaxy Shape Measurement for Weak Lensing Surveys -II. Application to Simulations
T. D. Kitching, L. Miller, C. E. Heymans +2
We extend the Bayesian model fitting shape measurement method presented in Miller et al. (2007) and use the method to estimate the shear from the Shear TEsting Programme simulation…
Handbook for the GREAT08 Challenge: An image analysis competition for cosmological lensing
Sarah Bridle, John Shawe-Taylor, Adam Amara +35
The GRavitational lEnsing Accuracy Testing 2008 (GREAT08) Challenge focuses on a problem that is of crucial importance for future observations in cosmology. The shapes of distant g…
Bayesian Galaxy Shape Measurement for Weak Lensing Surveys -I. Methodology and a Fast Fitting Algorithm
L. Miller, T. D. Kitching, C. Heymans +2
The principles of measuring the shapes of galaxies by a model-fitting approach are discussed in the context of shape-measurement for surveys of weak gravitational lensing. It is ar…
On model selection forecasting, Dark Energy and modified gravity
A. F. Heavens, T. D. Kitching, L. Verde
The Fisher matrix approach (Fisher 1935) allows one to calculate in advance how well a given experiment will be able to estimate model parameters, and has been an invaluable tool i…
Cosmological constraints from COMBO-17 using 3D weak lensing
T. D. Kitching, A. F. Heavens, A. N. Taylor +5
We present the first application of the 3D cosmic shear method developed in Heavens et al. (2006) and the geometric shear-ratio analysis developed in Taylor et al. (2006), to the C…
Measuring dark energy properties with 3D cosmic shear
A. F. Heavens, T. D. Kitching, A. N. Taylor
We present parameter estimation forecasts for present and future 3D cosmic shear surveys. We demonstrate that, in conjunction with results from cosmic microwave background (CMB) ex…
