Euclid Preparation. XXVIII. Forecasts for ten different higher-order weak lensing statistics

Euclid Collaboration, V. Ajani, M. Baldi +211

Recent cosmic shear studies have shown that higher-order statistics (HOS) developed by independent teams now outperform standard two-point estimators in terms of statistical precis…

Minkowski Functionals of Convergence Maps and the Lensing Figure of Merit

Martina Vicinanza, Vincenzo F. Cardone, Roberto Maoli +3

Minkowski functionals (MFs) quantify the topological properties of a given field probing its departure from Gaussianity. We investigate their use on lensing convergence maps in ord…

Increasing the Lensing Figure of Merit through Higher Order Convergence Moments

Martina Vicinanza, Vincenzo F. Cardone, Roberto Maoli +2

The unprecedented quality, the increased dataset, and the wide area of ongoing and near future weak lensing surveys allows to move beyond the standard two points statistics thus ma…

Improving lensing cluster mass estimate with flexion

Vincenzo F. Cardone, Martina Vicinanza, Xinzhong Er +2

Gravitational lensing has long been considered as a valuable tool to determine the total mass of galaxy clusters. The shear profile as inferred from the statistics of ellipticity o…

Higher order moments of lensing convergence - I. Estimate from simulations

M. Vicinanza, V. F. Cardone, R. Maoli +2

Large area lensing surveys are expected to make it possible to use cosmic shear tomography as a tool to severely constrain cosmological parameters. To this end, one typically relie…
