星系团弱透镜分析通常将二维透镜场压缩为方位角平均的径向轮廓，并从平均后的收敛和剪切评估非线性可观测量。然而，非线性可观测量的环平均通常不同于由平均场形成的平均场预测。该差异除以平均场预测，定义了分数残差。对于完整环，差异从角涨落的二阶项开始。对于中心化的椭圆晕，旋转对称性使得形状贡献在带符号椭率上是偶函数，而主要的错心偶极子与形状四极子正交。我们使用投影三轴NFW晕在六个质量-红移网格点上测试这些预测，覆盖$3\leq M_{200\mathrm c}/(10^{14}\\,h^{-1}M_\odot)\leq20$和$0.2\leq z_l\leq0.5$，对于$z_s=1$。对于参考偏移模型，中心偏移遵循尺度为$0.05r_{200\mathrm c}$的瑞利分布。对于$0.366\leq R/r_{200\mathrm c}\leq1$，其中每个种群至少$95\\%$满足保守的亚临界判据，我们计算每个种群和半径的保留晕的分数残差中位数。最大的种群中位数幅度为：约化剪切$0.90\\%$，逆放大$0.0093\\%$，放大$0.64\\%$，以及两个放大偏差情形$\mu^{\alpha-1}$（$\alpha=0.3, 1.4$）中为$0.18\\%$。在$z_s=2$的配对计算中，每个可观测量的最大幅度增加，与弱透镜幂次计数一致。跨越两个源平面和共同径向域，每个种群中位数幅度均低于$2\\%$。这种精度源于一阶抵消、旋转对称性和谐波正交性，以及剩余非线性项的进一步弱透镜抑制。
英文摘要
Cluster weak-lensing analyses often compress two-dimensional lensing fields into azimuthally averaged radial profiles and evaluate nonlinear observables from the averaged convergence and shear. However, the ring average of a nonlinear observable generally differs from the mean-field prediction formed from the averaged fields. This difference, divided by the mean-field prediction, defines the fractional residual. For a complete ring, the difference begins at second order in angular fluctuations. For centered elliptical halos, rotational symmetry makes the shape contribution even in signed ellipticity, while the leading miscentering dipole is orthogonal to the shape quadrupole. We test these predictions using projected triaxial NFW halos at six mass-redshift grid points spanning $3\leq M_{200\mathrm c}/(10^{14}\,h^{-1}M_\odot)\leq20$ and $0.2\leq z_l\leq0.5$, for $z_s=1$. For the reference offset model, centering offsets follow a Rayleigh distribution with scale $0.05r_{200\mathrm c}$. For $0.366\leq R/r_{200\mathrm c}\leq1$, where at least $95\%$ of each population satisfies a conservative subcriticality criterion, we calculate the median of the fractional residuals across the retained halos for each population and radius. The largest population-median magnitudes are $0.90\%$ for reduced shear, $0.0093\%$ for inverse magnification, $0.64\%$ for magnification, and $0.18\%$ across the two magnification-bias cases $μ^{α-1}$ ($α=0.3, 1.4$). In the paired calculation at $z_s=2$, the maximum magnitude increases for every observable, consistent with weak-lensing power counting. Across both source planes and the common radial domain, every population median remains below $2\%$ in magnitude. This accuracy follows from first-order cancellation, rotational symmetry, and harmonic orthogonality, with further weak-lensing suppression of the remaining nonlinear terms.
