摘要:

在光谱宇宙学观测中,BNT(Bernardeau, Nishimichi, Taruya)变换(Bernardeau等人,2014)允许构建弱引力透镜变换图,其中低红移透镜的贡献被抵消。由于该变换具体依赖于宇宙膨胀率但与物质分布特性无关,因此可以利用大规模结构探测在任意非线性尺度上提取信息,从而对宇宙背景演变提供约束。我们通过为阶段IV弱引力透镜项目提出特定的null测试来演示这一点。使用Fisher矩阵分析和参数采样,我们表明这种方法可以显著增强对暗能量方程状态的约束。值得注意的是,我们发现形状噪声目前限制了该方法的有效性,未来的设计可能带来显著改进。在欧几里得任务背景下对我们的null测试的详细分析见Touzeau等人(2025)的随附论文。

英文摘要:

Aim. In tomographic cosmic-shear observations, the Bernardeau, Nishimichi, Taruya (BNT) transform allows us to build weak lensing transformed maps for which the contribution from low-redshift lenses is nulled. As this transformation depends specifically on the expansion rate of the Universe and is independent of the matter distribution properties, it can be leveraged to extract information from large-scale structure probes at arbitrary non-linear scales. Thus, it provides constraints on cosmological background evolution. Methods. We demonstrate the applicability of the BNT transform as a probe by designing a null test and evaluating its performance for Stage IV weak lensing projects. Results. Using a Fisher matrix analysis combined with parameter sampling, we show that this approach can significantly enhance constraints on the dark energy equation of state. In such surveys, apart from photometric redshifts uncertainties, performance is expected to be limited primarily by shape noise, rather than cosmic variance, making substantial improvements possible thanks to better designed surveys in the future.
