We propose counting peaks in weak lensing (WL) maps, as a function of their height, to probe models of dark energy and to constrain cosmological parameters. Because peaks can be identified in two-dimensional WL maps directly, they can…

Cosmological parameter constraints from recent galaxy imaging surveys are reaching $2-3\%$-level accuracy. The upcoming Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) of the Vera C. Rubin Observatory will produce sub-percent level measurements of…

We present a statistical weak-lensing magnification analysis on an optically selected sample of 3029 \texttt{CAMIRA} galaxy clusters with richness $N>15$ at redshift $0.2\leq z <1.1$ in the Subaru Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) survey. We use two…
