弱引力透镜研究中物体探测偏差的计算

Accounting for object detection bias in weak gravitational lensing studies

Henk Hoekstra, Arun Kannawadi, Thomas D. Kitching

摘要:

如果能精确测量遥远星系的表观排列,那么大尺度结构的弱透镜效应将是宇宙学的一个强有力的探索。因此,大多数研究都集中在提高形状测量本身的保真度上,但在很大程度上忽略了物体检测的前一步。在本文中,我们研究了物体检测的影响,欧几里德类调查,并表明,它会导致偏差,超过下一代宇宙剪切调查的要求。在现实场景中,星系的融合是探测偏差的一个重要来源。我们发现,MetaDetection是能够占混合,导致平均乘法偏差,满足第四阶段调查的要求,提供了足够准确的模型的点扩散函数是可用的。需要进一步开展工作,以估计实际调查的绩效。结合足够逼真的图像模拟,这为第四阶段调查提供了一条可行的准确剪切估计方法。

英文摘要:

Weak lensing by large-scale structure is a powerful probe of cosmology if the apparent alignments in the shapes of distant galaxies can be accurately measured. Most studies have therefore focused on improving the fidelity of the shape measurements themselves, but the preceding step of object detection has been largely ignored. In this paper we study the impact of object detection for a Euclid-like survey and show that it leads to biases that exceed requirements for the next generation of cosmic shear surveys. In realistic scenarios, blending of galaxies is an important source of detection bias. We find that MetaDetection is able to account for blending, leading to average multiplicative biases that meet requirements for Stage IV surveys, provided a sufficiently accurate model for the point spread function is available. Further work is needed to estimate the performance for actual surveys. Combined with sufficiently realistic image simulations, this provides a viable way forward towards accurate shear estimates for Stage IV surveys.
