Effects of overlapping sources on cosmic shear estimation: Statistical sensitivity and pixel-noise bias
Javier Sanchez, Ismael Mendoza, David P. Kirkby +1
In Stage-IV imaging surveys, a significant amount of the cosmologically useful information is due to sources whose images overlap with those of other sources on the sky. The cosmic…
Shear measurement bias due to spatially varying spectral energy distributions in galaxies
Sowmya Kamath, Joshua E. Meyers, Patricia R. Burchat
Galaxy color gradients - i.e., spectral energy distributions that vary across the galaxy profile - will impact galaxy shape measurements when the modeled point spread function (PSF…
Dark Matter Science in the Era of LSST
Keith Bechtol, Alex Drlica-Wagner, Kevork N. Abazajian +177
Astrophysical observations currently provide the only robust, empirical measurements of dark matter. In the coming decade, astrophysical observations will guide other experimental…
The LSST Dark Energy Science Collaboration (DESC) Science Requirements Document
The LSST Dark Energy Science Collaboration, Rachel Mandelbaum, Tim Eifler +32
The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) Dark Energy Science Collaboration (DESC) will use five cosmological probes: galaxy clusters, large scale structure, supernovae, strong le…
Impact of Atmospheric Chromatic Effects on Weak Lensing Measurements
Joshua E. Meyers, Patricia R. Burchat
Current and future imaging surveys will measure cosmic shear with statistical precision that demands a deeper understanding of potential systematic biases in galaxy shape measureme…
Weighing the Giants IV: Cosmology and Neutrino Mass
Adam B. Mantz, Anja von der Linden, Steven W. Allen +14
We employ robust weak gravitational lensing measurements to improve cosmological constraints from measurements of the galaxy cluster mass function and its evolution, using X-ray se…
