Large-scale structure (LSS) and tracer bias connect observable populations to the cosmic matter distribution. While galaxies are standard tracers, transient events such as gravitational-wave sources can also probe LSS despite large…
We quantify the uncertainty in weak lensing mass estimates of clusters of galaxies, caused by distant (uncorrelated) large scale structure along the line of sight. We find that the effect is fairly small for deep observations (20<R<26) of…
