摘要:

本文前半部分探讨了弱引力透镜测量中系统偏差的来源。与以前的工作相比,我们扩大了PSF不稳定性的调查和折叠的电子成像探测器和不完善的星系形状测量算法的非理想性的影响第一次。总之,这些现在解释了当前透镜测量中通常报告的加法A(1)和乘法M(1)系统学。我们发现,整体性能是由望远镜/相机的绝对性能和我们对它的性能的了解所驱动的。本文的后半部分传播任何剩余的剪切测量偏差,通过它们对宇宙学参数约束的影响。充分利用第四阶段弱透镜巡天的统计能力将需要加性偏差A<1.8e-12和乘性偏差M<4.0e-3。使用本文前半部分的结果,可以在硬件、校准数据和软件的各个预算之间分配这些费用。如果仪器是稳定的和良好的校准,我们发现现存的剪切测量软件GREAT 10已经满足要求的星系在S/N=40检测。它对具有真实大小分布的星系群进行平均,也满足了从太空进行2D宇宙剪切分析的要求。如果用于较暗的星系或3D宇宙剪切断层扫描,现有的算法将需要在模拟上进行校准,以避免引入类似于统计误差水平的偏差。对硬件和校准数据的要求在配套文件中进行了更详细的讨论。我们的分析是有意的一般,但专门用于驱动欧洲航天局最近选择的欧几里得任务的设计的硬件和地面部分的性能预算。

英文摘要:

The first half of this paper explores the origin of systematic biases in the measurement of weak gravitational lensing. Compared to previous work, we expand the investigation of PSF instability and fold in for the first time the effects of non-idealities in electronic imaging detectors and imperfect galaxy shape measurement algorithms. Together, these now explain the additive A(l) and multiplicative M(l) systematics typically reported in current lensing measurements. We find that overall performance is driven by a product of a telescope/camera's *absolute performance*, and our *knowledge about its performance*. The second half of this paper propagates any residual shear measurement biases through to their effect on cosmological parameter constraints. Fully exploiting the statistical power of Stage IV weak lensing surveys will require additive biases A<1.8e-12 and multiplicative biases M<4.0e-3. These can be allocated between individual budgets in hardware, calibration data and software, using results from the first half of the paper. If instrumentation is stable and well-calibrated, we find extant shear measurement software from GREAT10 already meet requirements on galaxies detected at S/N=40. Averaging over a population of galaxies with a realistic distribution of sizes, it also meets requirements for a 2D cosmic shear analysis from space. If used on fainter galaxies or for 3D cosmic shear tomography, existing algorithms would need calibration on simulations to avoid introducing bias at a level similar to the statistical error. Requirements on hardware and calibration data are discussed in more detail in a companion paper. Our analysis is intentionally general, but is specifically being used to drive the hardware and ground segment performance budget for the design of the European Space Agency's recently-selected Euclid mission.
