摘要:

CDFS和ES 1场的VST光学成像(VOICE)巡天是一项保证时间计划,由ESO/VST望远镜执行,以CDFS和ES 1点为中心,在天空的两个4度$^2$斑块上提供深层光学成像。我们提出了宇宙剪切测量超过4度的$^2$覆盖CDFS区域的$r$带使用LensFit。1度$^2$的四个瓦片中的每一个具有超过一百次曝光,其中超过50次曝光通过了弱透镜研究的一系列图像质量选择标准。对于点源,$r$波段的$5σ$极限星等为26.1等,比文献中的其他弱透镜巡天(例如VST的Kilo Degree巡天,KiDS)深$\sim$ 1等。光度红移的估计使用语音$u,g,r,i$与近红外视频数据$Y,J,H,K_s$。考虑到剪切质量,剪切星表的平均红移为0.87。有效星系数密度为16.35 gal/arcmin $^2$,几乎是KiDS的两倍。LensFit在这样一个深度数据集上的性能是使用类似VOICE的模拟图像模拟来校准的。此外,我们还通过计算恒星-星系的互相关、两个红移仓的层析剪切相关和混合星系的污染,分析了剪切星表的可靠性。作为进一步的健全性检查,我们已经约束宇宙学参数,通过探索参数空间与人口蒙特卡罗抽样。对于平坦的$Λ$ CDM模型,我们得到了$Σ_8$ = $σ_8(Ω_m/0.3)^{0.5}$ = $0.68^{+0.11}_{-0.15}$ .

英文摘要:

The VST Optical Imaging of the CDFS and ES1 Fields (VOICE) Survey is a Guaranteed Time program carried out with the ESO/VST telescope to provide deep optical imaging over two 4 deg$^2$ patches of the sky centred on the CDFS and ES1 pointings. We present the cosmic shear measurement over the 4 deg$^2$ covering the CDFS region in the $r$-band using LensFit. Each of the four tiles of 1 deg$^2$ has more than one hundred exposures, of which more than 50 exposures passed a series of image quality selection criteria for weak lensing study. The $5σ$ limiting magnitude in $r$- band is 26.1 for point sources, which is $\sim$1 mag deeper than other weak lensing survey in the literature (e.g. the Kilo Degree Survey, KiDS, at VST). The photometric redshifts are estimated using the VOICE $u,g,r,i$ together with near-infrared VIDEO data $Y,J,H,K_s$. The mean redshift of the shear catalogue is 0.87, considering the shear weight. The effective galaxy number density is 16.35 gal/arcmin$^2$, which is nearly twice the one of KiDS. The performance of LensFit on such a deep dataset was calibrated using VOICE-like mock image simulations. Furthermore, we have analyzed the reliability of the shear catalogue by calculating the star-galaxy cross-correlations, the tomographic shear correlations of two redshift bins and the contaminations of the blended galaxies. As a further sanity check, we have constrained cosmological parameters by exploring the parameter space with Population Monte Carlo sampling. For a flat $Λ$CDM model we have obtained $Σ_8$ = $σ_8(Ω_m/0.3)^{0.5}$ = $0.68^{+0.11}_{-0.15}$.
