模拟内在尺寸和光度相关性对放大率估算的影响

Modelling the impact of intrinsic size and luminosity correlations on magnification estimation

Sandro Ciarlariello, Robert Crittenden

摘要:

观测到的星系大小和光度的空间相关性,可以用来估计通过弱引力透镜产生的放大率。然而,星系的内禀性质可以通过局部物理效应类似地关联起来,这可能会对弱透镜效应的估计产生影响。在早期的论文(Ciarlariello et al. 2015)中,我们使用晕模型对内在尺寸相关性进行了建模,假设星系尺寸反映了相关晕中的质量。在这里,我们将这项工作扩展到考虑星系的大小,并表明这些可能比星系大小更受内在相关性的影响,使其成为测量弱透镜信号的更大系统。我们还量化了这些内在的相关性是如何影响的样本选择标准的大小和幅度的基础上。

英文摘要:

Spatial correlations of the observed sizes and luminosities of galaxies can be used to estimate the magnification that arises through weak gravitational lensing. However, the intrinsic prop- erties of galaxies can be similarly correlated through local physical effects, and these present a possible contamination to the weak lensing estimation. In an earlier paper (Ciarlariello et al. 2015) we modelled the intrinsic size correlations using the halo model, assuming the galaxy sizes reflect the mass in the associated halo. Here we extend this work to consider galaxy magnitudes and show that these may be even more affected by intrinsic correlations than galaxy sizes, making this a bigger systematic for measurements of the weak lensing signal. We also quantify how these intrinsic correlations are affected by sample selection criteria based on sizes and magnitudes.
