元校准:剪切测量中偏差的直接自校准

Metacalibration: Direct Self-Calibration of Biases in Shear Measurement

Eric Huff, Rachel Mandelbaum

摘要:

在即将到来的弱透镜测量系统的不确定性的主要限制来源之一是系统的不确定性之间的定量关系,由于引力透镜和星系图像的可测量属性的失真。我们提出了一个统计原则,这个问题的一般解决方案。我们的技术推断乘法剪切校准参数修改实际的调查数据,以模拟已知的剪切的影响。它可以应用于任何基于星系形状测量的加权平均值的剪切估计方法,其中包括迄今为止使用真实数据进行剪切估计的所有方法。实像的使用减轻了由于未知星系形态的不确定性,这是基于图像模拟的剪切估计的校准的严重问题。我们测试我们的结果模拟图像从GREAT3的挑战,并表明,该方法消除了校准偏差的几种不同的形状测量技术的精度水平可测量的GREAT3模拟(百分之零点几)。

英文摘要:

One of the primary limiting sources of systematic uncertainty in forthcoming weak lensing measurements is systematic uncertainty in the quantitative relationship between the distortions due to gravitational lensing and the measurable properties of galaxy images. We present a statistically principled, general solution to this problem. Our technique infers multiplicative shear calibration parameters by modifying the actual survey data to simulate the effects of a known shear. It can be applied to any shear estimation method based on weighted averages of galaxy shape measurements, which includes all methods used to date for shear estimation with real data. Use of the real images mitigates uncertainty due to unknown galaxy morphology, which is a serious concern for calibration of shear estimates based on image simulations. We test our results on simulated images from the GREAT3 challenge, and show that the method eliminates calibration biases for several different shape measurement techniques at the level of precision measurable with the GREAT3 simulations (a few tenths of a percent).
