In this paper, we consider a statistical problem of learning a linear model from noisy samples. Existing work has focused on approximating the least squares solution by using leverage-based scores as an importance sampling distribution.…
We study the parity-odd part (that we shall call Doppler term) of the linear galaxy two-point correlation function that arises from wide-angle, velocity, Doppler lensing and cosmic acceleration effects. As it is important at low redshift…
I propose an analysis method, based on spin-spherical harmonics and spherical Bessel functions, for large-scale weak lensing surveys which have source distance information through photometric redshifts. I show that the distance information…
We analyze the photometric redshift catalog of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 5 (SDSS DR5) to estimate the Fisher information in the galaxy angular power spectrum with the help of the Rimes-Hamilton technique. It is found that…
A method is developed to evaluate the magnifications of the images of galaxies with lensing potentials stratified on similar concentric ellipses. A simple contour integral is provided which enables the sums of the magnifications of even…
Upcoming surveys will measure the cosmic microwave background (CMB) weak lensing power spectrum in exquisite detail, allowing for strong constraints on the sum of neutrino masses among other cosmological parameters. Standard CMB lensing…
We present a general linear algorithm for measuring the surface mass density 1-\kappa from the observable reduced shear g=\gamma/(1-\kappa) in the strong lensing regime. We show that in general, the observed polarization field can be…
We present the most significant measurement of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) lensing potential to date (at a level of 40 sigma), using temperature and polarization data from the Planck 2015 full-mission release. Using a…
We analyze the possibility of delensing CMB polarization maps using foreground weak lensing (WL) information. We build an estimator of the CMB lensing potential out of optimally combined projected potential estimators to different source…
Weak lensing by large-scale mass inhomogeneities in the Universe induces correlations in the observed ellipticities of distant sources. We first review the harmonic analysis and statistics required of these correlations and discuss…
We assess the potential of a future large-volume photometric redshift survey to constrain observational inflationary parameters using three large-scale structure observables: the angular shear and galaxy power spectra, and the cluster mass…
Combining different observational probes, such as galaxy clustering and weak lensing, is a promising technique for unveiling the physics of the Universe with upcoming dark energy experiments. Whilst this strategy significantly improves…
We show the improvement to cosmological constraints from galaxy cluster surveys with the addition of CMB-cluster lensing data. We explore the cosmological implications of adding mass information from the 3.1$\sigma$ detection of…
We present imaging results and source counts from a deep ISOCAM cosmological survey at 15 microns, through gravitationally lensing galaxy clusters. We take advantage of the cluster gravitational amplification to increase the sensitivity of…
We analyzed the evolution of 3GHz luminosity function of radio selected galaxies through cosmic time, up to about 1 Gyr after Big Bang, with making use of the VLA-COSMOS3GHz large project. We estimated the luminosity function for SFGs and…
We present a new likelihood-ratio ranking statistic for use in searches for gravitational waves from the inspiral and merger of compact object binaries. Expanding on previous work, the ranking statistic incorporates a model for the…
As the first paper in a series on the study of the galaxy-galaxy lensing from Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7 (SDSS DR7), we present our image processing pipeline that corrects the systematics primarily introduced by the Point…
We investigate how observations of strong lensing can be used to infer cosmological parameters, in particular the equation of state of dark energy. We focus on the growth of the critical lines of lensing clusters with the source redshift as…
Ridges in galaxy density fields measured by photometric surveys are 2D projections of filaments in the cosmic web, and so should lens light from background galaxies. We report on a detection of this effect in Dark Energy Survey Year 3 data…
Only galaxies bright enough and large enough to be unambiguously identified and measured are included in galaxy surveys used to estimate cosmic shear. We demonstrate that because gravitational lensing can scatter galaxies across the…
