Euclid: Validation of the MontePython forecasting tools

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Jean-Luc Starck, Maurizio Martinelli, Julien Lesgourgues, Slobodan Ilic, Yi Wang, Richard Massey

Context. The Euclid mission of the European Space Agency will perform a survey of weak lensing cosmic shear and galaxy clustering in order to constrain cosmological models and fundamental physics. Aims. We expand and adjust the mock Euclid likelihoods of t ...

Euclid preparation: XXVIII. Forecasts for ten different higher-order weak lensing statistics

Frédéric Courbin, Gianluca Castignani, Austin Chandler Peel, Jean-Luc Starck, Maurizio Martinelli, Yi Wang, Richard Massey, Fabio Finelli, Marcello Farina

Recent cosmic shear studies have shown that higher-order statistics (HOS) developed by independent teams now outperform standard two-point estimators in terms of statistical precision thanks to their sensitivity to the non-Gaussian features of large-scale ...

Potential scientific synergies in weak lensing studies between the CSST and Euclid space probes

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Huanyuan Shan, Jean-Luc Starck

Aims. With the next generation of large surveys poised to join the ranks of observational cosmology in the near future, it is important to explore their potential synergies and to maximize their scientific outcomes. In this study, we aim to investigate the ...

SKA Science Data Challenge 2: analysis and results

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Xin Chen, Frédéric Courbin, Jean-Luc Starck, Emma Elizabeth Tolley, Yi Zhang, Lei Zhang, Hua Zhang, Xiuwei Zhang, Libo Yu

The Square Kilometre Array Observatory (SKAO) will explore the radio sky to new depths in order to conduct transformational science. SKAO data products made available to astronomers will be correspondingly large and complex, requiring the application of ad ...

KiDS and Euclid: Cosmological implications of a pseudo angular power spectrum analysis of KiDS-1000 cosmic shear tomography

Georges Meylan, Jean-Luc Starck, Huanyuan Shan, Yi Wang, Richard Massey

We present a tomographic weak lensing analysis of the Kilo Degree Survey Data Release 4 (KiDS-1000), using a new pseudo angular power spectrum estimator (pseudo-C-l) under development for the ESA Euclid mission. Over 21 million galaxies with shape informat ...

ShapePipe: A new shape measurement pipeline and weak-lensing application to UNIONS/CFIS data

Jean-Luc Starck, Austin Chandler Peel

Context. The Ultraviolet Near-Infrared Optical Northern Survey (UNIONS) is an ongoing collaboration that will provide the largest deep photometric survey of the northern sky in four optical bands to date. As part of this collaboration, the Canada-France Im ...

Deep learning-based galaxy image deconvolution

Frédéric Courbin, Pascale Jablonka, Jean-Luc Starck, Utsav Akhaury, Kevin Michalewicz

With the onset of large-scale astronomical surveys capturing millions of images, there is an increasing need to develop fast and accurate deconvolution algorithms that generalize well to different images. A powerful and accessible deconvolution method woul ...

Euclid preparation XXI. Intermediate-redshift contaminants in the search for z > 6 galaxies within the Euclid Deep Survey

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Gianluca Castignani, Austin Chandler Peel, Jean-Luc Starck, Maurizio Martinelli, Hakim Atek, Yi Wang, Richard Massey, Marcello Farina

Context. The Euclid mission is expected to discover thousands of z > 6 galaxies in three deep fields, which together will cover a similar to 50 deg(2) area. However, the limited number of Euclid bands (four) and the low availability of ancillary data could ...

ShapePipe: A modular weak-lensing processing and analysis pipeline

Jean-Luc Starck, Austin Chandler Peel

We present the first public release of ShapePipe, an open-source and modular weak-lensing measurement, analysis, and validation pipeline written in Python. We describe the design of the software and justify the choices made. We provide a brief description ...

Euclid preparation: VII. Forecast validation for Euclid cosmological probes

Murat Kunt, Georges Meylan, Jean-Luc Starck, Slobodan Ilic, Maurizio Martinelli, Yi Wang, Richard Massey

Aims. The Euclid space telescope will measure the shapes and redshifts of galaxies to reconstruct the expansion history of the Universe and the growth of cosmic structures. The estimation of the expected performance of the experiment, in terms of predicted ...
