三点关联函数的弱透镜偏转

Weak lensing deflection of three-point correlation functions

Susan Pyne, Benjamin Joachimi, Hiranya V. Peiris

摘要:

弱引力透镜改变了观测源之间的明显分离,可能影响聚类统计。我们推导出一个通用的表达式,适用于任何三点统计的透镜偏转,并研究其对三点聚类关联函数的影响。我们发现聚类关联函数的偏差在$z=2$附近最大。在关联函数快速变化的区域,特别是在重子声学振荡尺度下,它会平滑波峰和波谷,使$z=1$的峰谷差减少约0.1%,$z=10$的峰谷差减少约2.3%。由于透镜偏转的修改通常是在一个类似欧几里德调查的预期误差的百分比水平,因此无法检测。

英文摘要:

Weak gravitational lensing alters the apparent separations between observed sources, potentially affecting clustering statistics. We derive a general expression for the lensing deflection which is valid for any three-point statistic, and investigate its effect on the three-point clustering correlation function. We find that deflection of the clustering correlation function is greatest at around $z=2$. It is most prominent in regions where the correlation function varies rapidly, in particular at the baryon acoustic oscillation scale where it smooths out the peaks and troughs, reducing the peak-to-trough difference by about 0.1 percent at $z=1$ and around 2.3 percent at $z=10$. The modification due to lensing deflection is typically at the per cent level of the expected errors in a Euclid-like survey and therefore undetectable.
