摘要:

利用第三年(T0003)CFHTLS宽数据发布,我们提出了一个线性区域中大尺度结构的弱透镜效应的探索。我们的结果严格限制的物质功率谱σ_8的振幅与物质密度Ω_m的缩放。跨越57平方度,i '_AB = 24.5,在三个独立的领域,前所未有的连续区域的调查允许高信噪比测量两点剪切统计从1弧分到4度。理解分析中的系统误差对解释结果至关重要。因此,我们证明了我们的方法使用STEP模拟,E/B-模式分解的数据,和恒星-星系交叉关联函数的精度。我们还提出了一个彻底的分析的星系红移分布使用红移数据从CFHTLS T0003深场探测相同的空间区域的宽场。对于假设的平坦宇宙学,我们使用孔径-质量统计在整个角标度范围内发现σ_8(Omega_m/0.25)^0.64 = 0.785+-0.043,与WMAP 3约束非常一致。我们的分析所探测的最大物理尺度是85 Mpc,假设透镜的平均红移为0.5和LCDM宇宙学。这使得第一次限制宇宙学只使用宇宙剪切测量的线性制度。仅使用大于85角分的角标度θ,我们发现sigma_8(Omega_m/0.25)_lin ^0.53 = 0.837+-0.084,这与我们的全面分析结果一致。将我们的结果与WMAP 3的数据相结合,我们发现Omega_m=0.248+-0.019和sigma_8 = 0.771+-0.029。

英文摘要:

We present an exploration of weak lensing by large-scale structure in the linear regime, using the third-year (T0003) CFHTLS Wide data release. Our results place tight constraints on the scaling of the amplitude of the matter power spectrum sigma_8 with the matter density Omega_m. Spanning 57 square degrees to i'_AB = 24.5 over three independent fields, the unprecedented contiguous area of this survey permits high signal-to-noise measurements of two-point shear statistics from 1 arcmin to 4 degrees. Understanding systematic errors in our analysis is vital in interpreting the results. We therefore demonstrate the percent-level accuracy of our method using STEP simulations, an E/B-mode decomposition of the data, and the star-galaxy cross correlation function. We also present a thorough analysis of the galaxy redshift distribution using redshift data from the CFHTLS T0003 Deep fields that probe the same spatial regions as the Wide fields. We find sigma_8(Omega_m/0.25)^0.64 = 0.785+-0.043 using the aperture-mass statistic for the full range of angular scales for an assumed flat cosmology, in excellent agreement with WMAP3 constraints. The largest physical scale probed by our analysis is 85 Mpc, assuming a mean redshift of lenses of 0.5 and a LCDM cosmology. This allows for the first time to constrain cosmology using only cosmic shear measurements in the linear regime. Using only angular scales theta> 85 arcmin, we find sigma_8(Omega_m/0.25)_lin^0.53 = 0.837+-0.084, which agree with the results from our full analysis. Combining our results with data from WMAP3, we find Omega_m=0.248+-0.019 and sigma_8 = 0.771+-0.029.
