LINNA: Likelihood Inference Neural Network Accelerator

Kavli Affiliate: Risa H. Wechsler | First 5 Authors: Chun-Hao To, Eduardo Rozo, Elisabeth Krause, Hao-Yi Wu, Risa H. Wechsler | Summary: Bayesian posterior inference of modern multi-probe cosmological analyses incurs massive computational costs. For instance, depending on the combinations of probes, a single posterior inference for the Dark Energy Survey (DES) data had a […]

Optical selection bias and projection effects in stacked galaxy cluster weak lensing

Kavli Affiliate: Risa H. Wechsler | First 5 Authors: Hao-Yi Wu, Matteo Costanzi, Chun-Hao To, Andrés N. Salcedo, David H. Weinberg | Summary: Cosmological constraints from current and upcoming galaxy cluster surveys are limited by the accuracy of cluster mass calibration. In particular, optically identified galaxy clusters are prone to selection effects that can bias […]
