弱透镜的半解析光线追迹算法

A Semi-analytic Ray-tracing Algorithm for Weak Lensing

Baojiu Li, Lindsay J. King, Gong-Bo Zhao, HongSheng Zhao

摘要:

我们提出了一种新的光线跟踪算法来测量弱透镜剪切和收敛场直接从N体模拟。我们计算光线的偏转由3-D质量密度场或引力势沿视线上的网格网格的基础上,而不是使用投影的2-D透镜平面。我们的算法使用简单的解析公式,而不是数值积分在沿视线的投影密度场的计算,因此是计算效率,准确和简单的实现。这将证明在解释下一代调查数据时很有价值,这些调查将对数千平方度的天空成像。

英文摘要:

We propose a new ray-tracing algorithm to measure the weak lensing shear and convergence fields directly from N-body simulations. We calculate the deflection of the light rays lensed by the 3-D mass density field or gravitational potential along the line of sight on a grid-by-grid basis, rather than using the projected 2-D lens planes. Our algorithm uses simple analytic formulae instead of numerical integrations in the computation of the projected density field along the line of sight, and so is computationally efficient, accurate and straightforward to implement. This will prove valuable in the interpretation of data from the next generation of surveys that will image many thousands of square degrees of sky.
