We present KaRMMa 2.0, an updated version of the mass map reconstruction code introduced in Fiedorowicz et al. (2022). KaRMMa is a full-sky Bayesian algorithm for reconstructing weak lensing mass maps from shear data. It forward-models the…

We update the field-level inference code KARMMA to enable tomographic forward-modelling of shear maps. Our code assumes a lognormal prior on the convergence field, and properly accounts for the cross-covariance in the lensing signal across…

Weak lensing mass-mapping is a useful tool to access the full distribution of dark matter on the sky, but because of intrinsic galaxy ellipticies and finite fields/missing data, the recovery of dark matter maps constitutes a challenging…

We develop an algorithm for the reconstruction of the two-dimensional mass distribution of a gravitational lens from the observable distortion of background galaxies. From the measured reduced shear, the lens mapping is obtained, from which…

Weak lensing mass-mapping from shear catalogs faces systematic challenges from survey masks and spatially varying noise. To overcome these issues and reconstruct unbiased convergence $\kappa$ maps, we have constructed the AKRA (Accurate…

Weak gravitational lensing is an invaluable tool for understanding fundamental cosmological physics. An unresolved issue in weak lensing cosmology is to accurately reconstruct the lensing convergence $\kappa$ maps from discrete shear…

Mapping the underlying density field, including non-visible dark matter, using weak gravitational lensing measurements is now a standard tool in cosmology. Due to its importance to the science results of current and upcoming surveys, the…

We introduce a novel approach to reconstruct dark matter mass maps from weak gravitational lensing measurements. The cornerstone of the proposed method lies in a new modelling of the matter density field in the Universe as a mixture of two…

Cosmic shear surveys serve as a powerful tool for mapping the underlying matter density field, including non-visible dark matter. A key challenge in cosmic shear surveys is the accurate reconstruction of lensing convergence ($\kappa$) maps…

We present a novel method for reconstructing weak lensing mass or convergence maps as a probe to study non-Gaussianities in the cosmic density field. While previous surveys have relied on a flat-sky approximation, the forthcoming stage IV…

We present a numerical investigation of nonlinear cluster lens reconstruction using weak lensing mass mapping. Recent advances in imaging and shear estimation have pushed reliable reduced shear measurements closer to cluster cores, making…

We present reconstructed convergence maps, \textit{mass maps}, from the Dark Energy Survey (DES) third year (Y3) weak gravitational lensing data set. The mass maps are weighted projections of the density field (primarily dark matter) in the…

We present new wide-field weak lensing mass maps for the Year 1 Dark Energy Survey data, generated via a forward fitting approach. This method of producing maps does not impose any prior constraints on the mass distribution to be…

Context: Weak gravitational lensing is a key cosmological probe for current and future large-scale surveys. While power spectra are commonly used for analyses, they fail to capture non-Gaussian information from nonlinear structure…

A crucial aspect of mass-mapping, via weak lensing, is quantification of the uncertainty introduced during the reconstruction process. Properly accounting for these errors has been largely ignored to date. We present a new method to…

We present the first reconstruction of dark matter maps from weak lensing observational data using deep learning. We train a convolution neural network (CNN) with a Unet based architecture on over $3.6\times10^5$ simulated data realizations…

Using higher-order statistics to capture cosmological information from weak lensing surveys often requires a transformation of observed shear to a measurement of the convergence signal. This inverse problem is complicated by noise and…

We introduce the skew-spectrum statistic for weak lensing convergence $\kappa$ maps and test it against state-of-the-art high-resolution all-sky numerical simulations. We perform the analysis as a function of source redshift and smoothing…

Weak lensing, which is the deflection of light by matter along the line of sight, has proven to be an efficient method for constraining models of structure formation and reveal the nature of dark energy. So far, most weak-lensing studies…

To date weak gravitational lensing surveys have typically been restricted to small fields of view, such that the $\textit{flat-sky approximation}$ has been sufficiently satisfied. However, with Stage IV surveys ($\textit{e.g. LSST}$ and…
