Simulation Tests of PSF Modeling for Cosmic Shear with the Vera C. Rubin Observatory
Claire-Alice Hébert, Erin S. Sheldon, Tianqing Zhang +3
Exceptional control of systematic effects is required in order to achieve unbiased cosmic shear two-point correlation function measurements with the next generation of galaxy imagi…
Fisher Forecasting for the DESC with
Paul Rogozenski, Sankarshana Srinivasan, Javier Sánchez +18
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) has begun its ten-year survey of the entire visible southern hemisphere. To ensure robust cosmological measurem…
Balancing bias, baryons, and scale cuts in LSST 3x2pt analysis
Ottavia Truttero, Maria Tsedrik, Joe Zuntz +4
Stage IV surveys such as LSST will probe deeply into the nonlinear regime, where systematic effects from galaxy bias and baryonic feedback become dominant and poorly constrained nu…
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…
Smokescreen: A Python package for data vector blinding and encryption in cosmological analyses
Arthur Loureiro, Jessica Muir, Jonathan Blazek +10
Smokescreen is an open-source Python library for data-vector concealment (blinding) in cosmological analyses. Data-vector blinding works by applying cosmology-dependent shifts to t…
