Effects of overlapping sources on cosmic shear estimation: Statistical sensitivity and pixel-noise bias

Kavli Affiliate: Patricia Burchat | Summary:In Stage-IV imaging surveys, a significant amount of the cosmologically useful information is due to sources whose images overlap with those of other sources on the sky. The cosmic shear signal is primarily encoded in the estimated shapes of observed galaxies and thus directly impacted by overlaps. We introduce a […]

Dynamical Evolution of Voids with Surrounding Gravitational Tidal Field

Kavli Affiliate: Naoshi Sugiyama | Summary:The void ellipticity distribution today can be well explained by the tidal field. Going a step further from the overall distribution, we investigate individuality on the tidal response of void shape in non-linear dynamical evolution. We perform an N-body simulation and trace individual voids using particle ID. The voids are […]
