Validating Synthetic Galaxy Catalogs for Dark Energy Science in the LSST Era
Eve Kovacs, Yao-Yuan Mao, Michel Aguena +36
Large simulation efforts are required to provide synthetic galaxy catalogs for ongoing and upcoming cosmology surveys. These extragalactic catalogs are being used for many diverse…
A Composite Likelihood Approach for Inference under Photometric Redshift Uncertainty
M. M. Rau, C. B. Morrison, S. J. Schmidt +3
Obtaining accurately calibrated redshift distributions of photometric samples is one of the great challenges in photometric surveys like LSST, Euclid, HSC, KiDS, and DES. We presen…
The LSST DESC DC2 Simulated Sky Survey
LSST Dark Energy Science Collaboration, Bela Abolfathi, David Alonso +77
We describe the simulated sky survey underlying the second data challenge (DC2) carried out in preparation for analysis of the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and…
Testing KiDS cross-correlation redshifts with simulations
J. L. van den Busch, H. Hildebrandt, A. H. Wright +7
Measuring cosmic shear in wide-field imaging surveys requires accurate knowledge of the redshift distribution of all sources. The clustering-redshift technique exploits the angular…
Evaluation of probabilistic photometric redshift estimation approaches for The Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST)
S. J. Schmidt, A. I. Malz, J. Y. H. Soo +24
Many scientific investigations of photometric galaxy surveys require redshift estimates, whose uncertainty properties are best encapsulated by photometric redshift (photo-z) poster…
CosmoDC2: A Synthetic Sky Catalog for Dark Energy Science with LSST
Danila Korytov, Andrew Hearin, Eve Kovacs +27
This paper introduces cosmoDC2, a large synthetic galaxy catalog designed to support precision dark energy science with the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST). CosmoDC2 is the…
