Journal ArticleDOI
Dark energy constraints from cosmic shear power spectra: impact of intrinsic alignments on photometric redshift requirements
Sarah Bridle,Lindsay J. King +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use the linear intrinsic alignment model as a base and compare it to an alternative model and data, and find that when intrinsic alignments are included two or more times as many bins are required to obtain 80% of the available information.
Journal ArticleDOI
Separating cosmic shear from intrinsic galaxy alignments: Correlation function tomography
Lindsay J. King,Peter Schneider +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a new method was proposed to isolate the lensing and intrinsic components of the galaxy ellipticity correlation function using measurements between different redshift slices, approximating the observed signal by a set of template functions, making no strong assumptions about the amplitude or correlation length of any intrinsic alignment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Suppressing the contribution of intrinsic galaxy alignments to the shear two-point correlation function
Lindsay J. King,Peter Schneider +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider the two-point shear correlation function and demonstrate that photometric redshift information can be used to suppress the intrinsic signal; at the same time Poisson noise is increased, due to a decrease in the effective number of galaxy pairs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of asphericity and substructure on the determination of cluster mass with weak gravitational lensing
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors quantify how asphericity and projected substructure in clusters can affect the virial mass and concentration measured with this technique by simulating weak lensing observations on 30 independent lines-of-sights.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cosmic shear as a tool for precision cosmology: Minimising intrinsic galaxy alignment-lensing interference
TL;DR: In this article, the impact of both intrinsic and cross-correlations can be significantly reduced, in the context of surveys with photometric redshift information, by extending the correlation function tomography method of King & Schneider.
