扭曲和旋转:弱透镜图像二阶失真

Twist and Turn: Weak Lensing Image Distortions to Second Order

David J. Bacon, Bjoern Malte Schaefer

摘要:

我们考虑到所有的图像失真弱引力透镜到二阶。除了常见的剪切、会聚、旋转和弯曲外,我们还发现了一种新的图像失真,它有两种不同的描述,扭曲和转弯。像旋转一样,这种扭曲不会被引力激活到一阶,但会被系统效应激活。我们研究的旋转属性的扭曲和转动,以及它们对图像的影响,在现实和shapelet空间。我们构造新的失真估计,考虑到它产生的质心位移。然后,我们使用这些估计扭曲使用阶段HST调查的第一个约束,我们发现,平均扭曲估计是一致的零。我们测量关联函数为我们的扭曲估计的调查,再次发现没有证据的系统性影响。

英文摘要:

We account for all the image distortions relevant to weak gravitational lensing to second order. Besides the familiar shear, convergence, rotation and flexions, we find a new image distortion with two distinct descriptions, the twist and the turn. Like rotation, this distortion is not activated gravitationally to first order, but will be activated by systematic effects. We examine the rotational properties of twist and turn, and their effect on images in real and shapelet space. We construct estimators for the new distortion, taking into account the centroid shift which it generates. We then use these estimators to make first constraints on twist using the STAGES HST survey; we find that the mean twist estimator is consistent with zero. We measure correlation functions for our twist estimator on the survey, again finding no evidence of systematic effects.
