On the validity of the Born approximation for beyond-Gaussian weak lensing observables

Andrea Petri, Zoltán Haiman, Morgan May

Accurate forward modeling of weak lensing (WL) observables from cosmological parameters is necessary for upcoming galaxy surveys. Because WL probes structures in the non-linear reg…

Do dark matter halos explain lensing peaks?

José Manuel Zorrilla Matilla, Zoltán Haiman, Daniel Hsu +2

We have investigated a recently proposed halo-based model, Camelus, for predicting weak-lensing peak counts, and compared its results over a collection of 162 cosmologies with thos…

CMB Lensing Beyond the Power Spectrum: Cosmological Constraints from the One-Point PDF and Peak Counts

Jia Liu, J. Colin Hill, Blake D. Sherwin +3

Unprecedentedly precise cosmic microwave background (CMB) data are expected from ongoing and near-future CMB Stage-III and IV surveys, which will yield reconstructed CMB lensing ma…

Mocking the Weak Lensing universe: the LensTools python computing package

Andrea Petri

We present a newly developed software package which implements a wide range of routines frequently used in Weak Gravitational Lensing (WL). With the continuously increasing size of…

Cosmology with photometric weak lensing surveys: constraints with redshift tomography of convergence peaks and moments

Andrea Petri, Morgan May, Zoltán Haiman

Weak gravitational lensing is becoming a mature technique for constraining cosmological parameters, and future surveys will be able to constrain the dark energy equation of state $…

Consequences of CCD imperfections for cosmology determined by weak lensing surveys: From laboratory measurements to cosmological parameter bias

Yuki Okura, Andrea Petri, Morgan May +2

Weak gravitational lensing causes subtle changes in the apparent shapes of galaxies due to the bending of light by the gravity of foreground masses. By measuring the shapes of larg…

Sample variance in weak lensing: how many simulations are required?

Andrea Petri, Zoltán Haiman, Morgan May

Constraining cosmology using weak gravitational lensing consists of comparing a measured feature vector of dimension with its simulated counterpart. An accurate estimate of t…
