Intrinsic Alignments in IllustrisTNG and their implications for weak lensing: Tidal shearing and tidal torquing mechanisms put to the test

Jolanta Zjupa, Björn Malte Schäfer, Oliver Hahn

Accurate measurements of the cosmic shear signal require a separation of the true weak gravitational lensing signal from intrinsic shape correlations of galaxies. These `intrinsic…

Information entropy in cosmological inference problems

Ana Marta Pinho, Robert Reischke, Marie Teich +1

The subject of this paper is a quantification of the information content of cosmological probes of the large-scale structures, specifically of temperature and polarisation anisotro…

Information geometry in cosmological inference problems

Eileen Giesel, Robert Reischke, Björn Malte Schäfer +1

Statistical inference more often than not involves models which are non-linear in the parameters thus leading to non-Gaussian posteriors. Many computational and analytical tools ex…

Realistic systematic biases induced by residual intrinsic alignments in cosmic shear surveys

Robert Reischke, Björn Malte Schäfer

We study the parameter estimation bias induced by intrinsic alignments on a Euclid-like weak lensing survey. For the intrinsic alignment signal we assume a composite alignment mode…

KiDS+GAMA: Constraints on Horndeski gravity from combined large-scale structure probes

Alessio Spurio Mancini, Fabian Köhlinger, Benjamin Joachimi +7

We present constraints on Horndeski gravity from a combined analysis of cosmic shear, galaxy-galaxy lensing and galaxy clustering from of the Kilo-Degree Surv…

Environmental dependence of ellipticity correlation functions of intrinsic alignments

Robert Reischke, Björn Malte Schäfer

In this work we investigate the environmental dependence of the intrinsic ellipticity correlations in cosmic shear surveys. We use the quadratic and linear alignment model to descr…
