摘要:

由于其更广泛的天空覆盖范围和更严格的控制系统误差,未来的深弱透镜巡天应提供更好的统计图片的暗物质集群超出功率谱的水平。在这种背景下,研究引力诱导的非高斯性可以通过打破参数简并来帮助加强对背景宇宙学的约束,以及揭示暗物质、暗能量或替代引力理论的本质。由于所涉及的场的旋量性质,对这种映射的剪切或弯曲性质的分析比收敛的简单情况更复杂。在这里,我们开发的分析工具的高阶统计量的研究,如双谱(或三谱)直接使用这样的地图在不同的源红移。我们介绍的统计可以从剪切或弯曲的累积量,涉及在不同的红移平方和立方映射的互相关。典型地,低信噪比阻止逐模式地恢复双谱或三谱。我们定义了与每个多重谱相关联的功率谱,它压缩了高阶多重谱的一些可用信息。我们展示了如何从噪声观测数据中恢复这些,即使在存在任意掩模的情况下,也可以以无偏的方式引入电(E型)和磁(B型)极化之间的混合。我们还介绍了高阶互相关子,它可以互相关透镜剪切与不同的示踪剂的大尺度结构。

英文摘要:

Owing to their more extensive sky coverage and tighter control on systematic errors, future deep weak lensing surveys should provide a better statistical picture of the dark matter clustering beyond the level of the power spectrum. In this context, the study of non-Gaussianity induced by gravity can help tighten constraints on the background cosmology by breaking parameter degeneracies, as well as throwing light on the nature of dark matter, dark energy or alternative gravity theories. Analysis of the shear or flexion properties of such maps is more complicated than the simpler case of the convergence due to the spinorial nature of the fields involved. Here we develop analytical tools for the study of higher-order statistics such as the bispectrum (or trispectrum) directly using such maps at different source redshift. The statistics we introduce can be constructed from cumulants of the shear or flexions, involving the cross-correlation of squared and cubic maps at different redshifts. Typically, the low signal-to-noise ratio prevents recovery of the bispectrum or trispectrum mode by mode. We define power spectra associated with each multi- spectra which compresses some of the available information of higher order multispectra. We show how these can be recovered from a noisy observational data even in the presence of arbitrary mask, which introduces mixing between Electric (E-type) and Magnetic (B-type) polarization, in an unbiased way. We also introduce higher order cross-correlators which can cross-correlate lensing shear with different tracers of large scale structures.
