摘要:

即将到来的成像调查的目标是使用弱引力透镜剪切测量来约束暗能量。我们量化的重要性,未校准的光度红移离群值的暗能量的目标,即将到来的成像调查的方式,不承担任何特定的光度红移技术或模板。在这样做的过程中,我们提供了一个近似的蓝图计算特定的离群人口的影响暗能量约束。我们发现,如果离群点的光z分布紧密地局限于一个显著偏置的红移,那么必须将其控制在<~几倍于10^-3的每星系速率,以确保暗能量参数的系统误差可以忽略不计。在互补极限下,一个未定标光度红移分布在很宽范围内的成像星系子集必须被限制在每个星系的误差率小于~ 10^-4的几倍。此外,我们探讨的相对重要性,校准的核心一组相对较好理解的星系相比,需要确定潜在的灾难性的photo-z离群值的photo-z的。我们讨论了在高光度和低光度红移下切除源星系引起的对暗能量参数的统计约束的退化,得出的结论是,去除z_phot >~ 2.4和z_phot <~ 0.3的星系可以以相对较小的统计误差代价(~ 20%)减轻破坏性的灾难性红移异常值。在附录中,我们表明,预测的退化暗能量参数的限制,由于不确定的光度红移依赖于敏感的非线性物质功率谱的治疗。以前使用PD 96的工作可能高估了未来调查的photo-z校准要求。

英文摘要:

A goal of forthcoming imaging surveys is to use weak gravitational lensing shear measurements to constrain dark energy. We quantify the importance of uncalibrated photometric redshift outliers to the dark energy goals of forthcoming imaging surveys in a manner that does not assume any particular photometric redshift technique or template. In so doing, we provide an approximate blueprint for computing the influence of specific outlier populations on dark energy constraints. We find that outliers whose photo-z distributions are tightly localized about a significantly biased redshift must be controlled to a per-galaxy rate of <~ a few times 10^-3 to insure that systematic errors on dark energy parameters are rendered negligible. In the complementary limit, a subset of imaged galaxies with uncalibrated photometric redshifts distributed over a broad range must be limited to fewer than a per-galaxy error rate of <~ a few times 10^-4. Additionally, we explore the relative importance of calibrating the photo-z's of a core set of relatively well-understood galaxies as compared to the need to identify potential catastrophic photo-z outliers. We discuss the degradation of the statistical constraints on dark energy parameters induced by excising source galaxies at high- and low-photometric redshifts, concluding that removing galaxies with z_phot >~ 2.4 and z_phot <~ 0.3 may mitigate damaging catastrophic redshift outliers at a relatively small (~ 20%) cost in statistical error. In an appendix, we show that forecasts for the degradation in dark energy parameter constraints due to uncertain photometric redshifts depend sensitively on the treatment of the nonlinear matter power spectrum. Previous work using PD96 may have overestimated the photo-z calibration requirements of future surveys.
