Optimization of Weak Lensing Lightcone Simulations for Higher-Order Statistics in the LSST era

J. Mena-Fernández, C. Doux, J. Harnois-Déraps +9

We present a framework for generating lightcone simulations tailored to the analysis of Stage-IV cosmic shear data using Higher-Order Statistics (HOS). We revisit key design choice…

Point Correlation Functions in Galaxy Surveys: Impact of Baryonic Feedback

Avijit Bera, Joachim Harnois-Déraps, Juan Mena-Fernández +5

We investigate the impact of baryonic feedback on two-point and three-point correlation functions (2PCFs and 3PCFs hereafter, respectively) involving galaxy density fields (g) and…

Stability of Thin Shell and Wormhole Configurations: Schwarzschild, Schwarzschild -- (Anti-) de Sitter, and FLRW Spacetimes

Travis Seth Rippentrop, Avijit Bera, Mustapha Ishak

The stability of thin shell wormholes and black holes to linearized spherically symmetric perturbations about a static equilibrium is analyzed. Thin shell formalism is explored and…

A direct detection method of galaxy intrinsic ellipticity-gravitational shear correlation in non-linear regimes using self-calibration

Avijit Bera, Leonel Medina Varela, Vinu Sooriyaarachchi +3

Intrinsic alignment (IA) of galaxies is a challenging source of contamination in the Cosmic shear (GG) signals. The galaxy intrinsic ellipticity-gravitational shear (IG) correlatio…

OpenUniverse2024: A shared, simulated view of the sky for the next generation of cosmological surveys

OpenUniverse, The LSST Dark Energy Science Collaboration, The Roman HLIS Project Infrastructure Team +58

The OpenUniverse2024 simulation suite is a cross-collaboration effort to produce matched simulated imaging for multiple surveys as they would observe a common simulated sky. Both t…
