弱透镜巡天中引力剪切-星系内禀椭圆率相关的自校准

Self calibration of gravitational shear-galaxy intrinsic ellipticity correlation in weak lensing surveys

Pengjie Zhang

摘要:

星系内禀排列是对精确测量宇宙剪切力的一个严峻挑战。我们提出了自校准的诱导引力剪切星系内禀椭圆相关(GI相关,\citealt{Hirata04b})在弱透镜调查光度红移测量。(1)本文提出了一种从同一红移面元中的星系椭圆度-密度测量值中提取星系内禀椭圆度-密度互相关的方法。(2)我们还找到了一个通用的缩放关系,将提取的I-g相关转换为所需的GI相关。我们在简化的条件下进行概念研究,并证明其能够显着减少GI污染。我们讨论了各种复杂性对自校准技术的两个关键成分的影响,即提取I-g相关性的方法和I-g与GI相关性之间的标度关系。我们希望他们都不可能完全无效的建议自校准技术。

英文摘要:

The galaxy intrinsic alignment is a severe challenge to precision cosmic shear measurement. We propose to self-calibrate the induced gravitational shear-galaxy intrinsic ellipticity correlation (the GI correlation, \citealt{Hirata04b}) in weak lensing surveys with photometric redshift measurement. (1) We propose a method to extract the intrinsic ellipticity-galaxy density cross correlation (I-g) from the galaxy ellipticity-density measurement in the same redshift bin. (2) We also find a generic scaling relation to convert the extracted I-g correlation to the demanded GI correlation. We perform concept study under simplified conditions and demonstrate its capability to significantly reduce the GI contamination. We discuss the impact of various complexities on the two key ingredients of the self-calibration technique, namely the method to extract the I-g correlation and the scaling relation between the I-g and the GI correlation. We expect none of them is likely able to completely invalidate the proposed self-calibration technique.
