AI总结:

本文系统研究了 PSF 第 3 至 6 阶矩建模误差对弱引力透镜宇宙学参数推断的影响,发现其对 LSST Y10 可造成约 0.1σ 的乘性偏差及与 1σ 相当的加性偏差,并指出未来需降低 PSF 高阶矩误差。

摘要:

弱引力透镜(weak lensing)是探测暗物质和暗能量最有力的手段之一,但随着统计误差变得越来越小,控制系统误差的挑战日益增加。点扩散函数(Point Spread Function, PSF)需要被精确建模,以避免对弱透镜测量产生系统误差。PSF 模型二阶矩(即其大小和形状)误差所导致的弱透镜偏差已被充分研究。然而,Zhang et al. (2021) 表明,PSF 高阶矩的误差也可能成为未来弱透镜巡天的重要系统误差来源。因此,本工作的目标是全面研究从第 3 阶到第 6 阶 PSF 矩的建模质量,并估计它们对宇宙学参数推断的影响。我们将 HSC 巡天数据集中 PSFEx 的高阶矩建模误差传播到弱透镜剪切-剪切相关函数及其宇宙学分析中。我们发现,与 PSF 高阶矩误差相关的整体乘性剪切偏差可使 LSST Y10 的宇宙学参数产生约 0.1σ 的偏移。PSF 高阶矩误差还会在弱透镜剪切中引起加性偏差,如果在宇宙学参数分析中未加以考虑,则对 LSST Y10 而言,可导致与 1σ 不确定度相当的宇宙学参数偏差。我们将 PSFEx 模型与全视场 PSF(Piff)模型进行了比较,发现二者在 PSF 高阶矩建模方面表现相似。我们得出结论:未来 PSF 模型的高阶矩误差应比当前方法有所降低,以避免在弱透镜分析中需要显式建模这些效应。

英文摘要:

Weak gravitational lensing, or weak lensing, is one of the most powerful probes for dark matter and dark energy science, although it faces increasing challenges in controlling systematic uncertainties as \edit{the statistical errors become smaller}. The Point Spread Function (PSF) needs to be precisely modeled to avoid systematic error on the weak lensing measurements. The weak lensing biases induced by errors in the PSF model second moments, i.e., its size and shape, are well-studied. However, Zhang et al. (2021) showed that errors in the higher moments of the PSF may also be a significant source of systematics for upcoming weak lensing surveys. Therefore, the goal of this work is to comprehensively investigate the modeling quality of PSF moments from the $3^{\text{rd}}$ to $6^{\text{th}}$ order, and estimate their impact on cosmological parameter inference. We propagate the \textsc{PSFEx} higher moments modeling error in the HSC survey dataset to the weak lensing \edit{shear-shear correlation functions} and their cosmological analyses. We find that the overall multiplicative shear bias associated with errors in PSF higher moments can cause a $\sim 0.1 σ$ shift on the cosmological parameters for LSST Y10. PSF higher moment errors also cause additive biases in the weak lensing shear, which, if not accounted for in the cosmological parameter analysis, can induce cosmological parameter biases comparable to their $1σ$ uncertainties for LSST Y10. We compare the \textsc{PSFEx} model with PSF in Full FOV (\textsc{Piff}), and find similar performance in modeling the PSF higher moments. We conclude that PSF higher moment errors of the future PSF models should be reduced from those in current methods to avoid a need to explicitly model these effects in the weak lensing analysis.
