射电连续谱观测中的弱透镜效应

Weak Lensing with Radio Continuum Surveys

Prina Patel

摘要:

弱引力透镜是宇宙学的一个强有力的探测器,已经成为暗宇宙的一个关键探测器。到目前为止,这门科学主要是在光学波长上进行的。目前升级和未来的无线电设施将提供大大改进的数据,使透镜测量能够在这些较长的波长。在这篇论文中,我展示了像SKA这样的大型设施如何能够产生改变游戏规则的宇宙学测量,即使与未来的光学望远镜相比。我还将讨论如何无线电调查也可以提供独特的方式,其中一些最有问题的系统误差可以减轻通过额外的信息,可以提供的偏振和旋转速度测量的形式。我还将展示重叠的光学和无线电弱透镜调查的优势,以及它们的互相关如何导致更干净的宇宙学信息提取。实现无线电弱透镜的巨大前景的关键是在无线电数据中对星系形状进行适当的测量,无论是从图像还是从可见度数据。最后,我将描述与这一问题有关的关键问题以及为解决这些问题而提出的无线电挑战。

英文摘要:

Weak gravitational lensing is a powerful probe of cosmology and has emerged as a key probe for the Dark Universe. Up till now this science has been conducted mainly at optical wavelengths. Current upgraded and future radio facilities will provide greatly improved data that will allow lensing measurements to be made at these longer wavelengths. In this proceedings I show how the larger facilities such as the SKA can produce game changing cosmological measurements even compared to future optical telescopes. I will also discuss how radio surveys can also provide unique ways in which some of the most problematic systematic errors can be mitigated through the extra information that can be provided in the form of polarisation and rotational velocity measurements. I will also demonstrate the advantages to having overlapping optical and radio weak lensing surveys and how their cross-correlation leads to a cleaner extraction of the cosmological information. Key to the realisation of the great promise of radio weak lensing is the suitable measurements of galaxy shapes in the radio data, either from images or from the visibility data. I shall end with a description of the key issues related to this matter and the radioGREAT challenge which has been proposed to address them.
