用基于场的似然函数提升弱透镜简并

Lifting weak lensing degeneracies with a field-based likelihood

Natalia Porqueres, Alan Heavens, Daniel Mortlock, Guilhem Lavaux

摘要:

我们提出了一种基于场的方法来分析宇宙剪切数据,以联合推断宇宙学参数和暗物质分布。这种正演模拟方法对宇宙学参数和初始物质波动进行采样,使用物理引力模型将原始波动与非线性物质分布联系起来。通过前向模型对宇宙学参数进行采样和更新,改变(1)初始物质功率谱,(2)通过距离-红移关系的几何形状,以及(3)结构和光锥效应的增长。我们的方法比基于两点统计的方法从数据中提取更多的信息。我们发现,这种基于场的方法解除了宇宙学物质密度,$Ω_\mathrm{m}$,和波动幅度,$σ_8$之间的强简并,这些参数提供严格的约束,从弱透镜数据单独。在模拟的四箱层析实验中,我们认为,基于字段的可能性产生的边际不确定性$σ_8$和$Ω_\mathrm{m}$,分别是一个因素3和5比那些从两点功率谱分析应用于相同的基础数据。

英文摘要:

We present a field-based approach to the analysis of cosmic shear data to infer jointly cosmological parameters and the dark matter distribution. This forward modelling approach samples the cosmological parameters and the initial matter fluctuations, using a physical gravity model to link the primordial fluctuations to the non-linear matter distribution. Cosmological parameters are sampled and updated consistently through the forward model, varying (1) the initial matter power spectrum, (2) the geometry through the distance-redshift relationship, and (3) the growth of structure and light-cone effects. Our approach extracts more information from the data than methods based on two-point statistics. We find that this field-based approach lifts the strong degeneracy between the cosmological matter density, $Ω_\mathrm{m}$, and the fluctuation amplitude, $σ_8$, providing tight constraints on these parameters from weak lensing data alone. In the simulated four-bin tomographic experiment we consider, the field-based likelihood yields marginal uncertainties on $σ_8$ and $Ω_\mathrm{m}$ that are, respectively, a factor of 3 and 5 smaller than those from a two-point power spectrum analysis applied to the same underlying data.
