Cosmological parameter estimation techniques that robustly account for systematic measurement uncertainties will be crucial for the next generation of cosmological surveys. We present a new analysis method, superABC, for obtaining cosmological constraints from Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) light curves using Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC) without any likelihood assumptions. The ABC method works by using a forward model simulation of the data where systematic uncertainties can be simulated and marginalized over. A key feature of the method presented here is the use of two distinct metrics, the `Tripp' and `Light Curve' metrics, which allow us to compare the simulated data to the observed data set. The Tripp metric takes as input the parameters of models fit to each light curve with the SALT-II method, whereas the Light Curve metric uses the measured fluxes directly without model fitting. We apply the superABC sampler to a simulated data set of $\sim$1000 SNe corresponding to the first season of the Dark Energy Survey Supernova Program. Varying $Ω_m, w_0, α$ and $β$ and a magnitude offset parameter, with no systematics we obtain $Δ(w_0) = w_0^{\rm true} - w_0^{\rm best \, fit} = -0.036\pm0.109$ (a $\sim11$% 1$σ$ uncertainty) using the Tripp metric and $Δ(w_0) = -0.055\pm0.068$ (a $\sim7$% 1$σ$ uncertainty) using the Light Curve metric. Including 1% calibration uncertainties in four passbands, adding 4 more parameters, we obtain $Δ(w_0) = -0.062\pm0.132$ (a $\sim14$% 1$σ$ uncertainty) using the Tripp metric. Overall we find a $17$% increase in the uncertainty on $w_0$ with systematics compared to without. We contrast this with a MCMC approach where systematic effects are approximately included. We find that the MCMC method slightly underestimates the impact of calibration uncertainties for this simulated data set.

Reconstructing dark matter distribution with peculiar velocities: Bayesian forward modelling with corrections for inhomogeneous Malmquist bias
我们提出了一个前向建模的速度场重建算法,只使用特殊的速度数据进行质量密度场的重建。我们的方法始终占的非齐次Malmquist偏差使用沿视线的分析积分。通过模拟测试我们的方法,我们表明,我们的方法给出了一个无偏重建的速度场。我们发现,不考虑不均匀的Malmquist偏差可能会导致显着的偏差,在向前建模重建。我们将我们的方法应用到一个由SFI++和2 MTF Tully-Fisher星表以及A2超新星汇编组成的特殊速度数据集上,从而获得了一个新的局部宇宙速度重建。我们的速度重建具有与理论预期一致的宇宙学功率谱。此外,我们通过后验分布的样本获得重建的不确定性的完整描述。我们验证我们的速度重建的本地宇宙进行比较,使用2 M ++星系目录的独立重建,获得良好的协议之间的两个重建。使用贝叶斯模型的比较,我们发现,我们的速度模型的性能优于自适应核平滑速度相同的特殊速度数据。然而,我们的速度模型不执行以及从2 M ++星系目录的速度重建,由于稀疏和噪声的性质,独特的速度示踪剂样本。这里提出的方法提供了一种方法,包括特殊的速度数据的初始条件重建框架。

Cosmological model-independent constraints on the baryon fraction in the IGM from fast radio bursts and supernovae data
快速射电暴(Fast Radio Burst,FRB)是一种毫秒级的射电瞬变,观测到的色散测量值($DM$)大于预期的银河系贡献,这表明这种事件是河外起源的。虽然已经提出了一些模型来解释脉冲的物理过程,但FRB发射背后的机制仍然是未知的。从已知宿主星系的FRB数据中,可以直接测量红移,并可以与$DM$的估计相结合,以约束宇宙学参数,如重子数密度和哈勃常数。然而,对星系际介质中重子质量分数($f_{IGM}$)及其与宇宙学参数的简并性的认识不足限制了FRB的宇宙学应用。在这项工作中,我们提出了一个独立于宇宙学模型的方法来确定$f_{IGM}$的演变相结合的最新FRB观测本地化的宿主星系和当前的超新星数据。我们认为常数和时间依赖性的$f_{IGM}$参数化,并显示,通过贝叶斯模型选择分析,一个结论性的答案的时间演变的$f_{IGM}$强烈依赖于$DM$波动由于宇宙电子密度($δ$)的空间变化。特别是,我们的分析表明,证据从强(有利于随着红移不断发展的$f_{IGM}$)到不确定的变化,因为考虑了更大的$δ$值。
