Weak Lensing Requirements

• True two-point correlation function affected by additive bias s2

sys and multiplicative bias M

• more simply:

… with simple values calculated for ai and mi

Weak Lensing Requirements (ctd)

PSF sizes and ellipticities

(+ MOCD etc. see Jerome’s talk)

• Analyses indicate that in order for systematic bias effects to be lower than the random errors from the survey size/galaxy number additive bias s2

sys<107; multiplicative bias M<2x10–3

Data Processing: CTI algorithm

• Bristow & Alexov (2003) algorithm further developed for HST

data processing by Massey, Rhodes et al.

• “Read” image through CTI model (eg CDM03) in combinations and make linear combinations

• Rapid convergence achieved in practice

EuclidConsortium

Euclid Consortium Meeting Bologna 7-8/9/11

CTI correction: residual ellipticity

• The residual ellipticity in faint galaxies furthest from the readout node, after correction during image postprocessing shows requirement met for ~4.5 e– RMS readout noise for perfect model

• Model parameters can be adjusted to null out residual CTI effects on detector coordinates model imperfections can be reduced sufficiently

Massey, Rhodes et al

PCA: principles

• Decompose PSFs into a basis set using Principal Components Analysis

• Use model data to establish PSF basis set

• Fit real star to get component coefficients

EuclidConsortium

Euclid Consortium Meeting Bologna 7-8/9/11

PSF knowledge: modelling approach

• Stars on each dither frame allow the PSF to be monitored as a function of position and exposure sequence

• Create a 3-D model of the PSF as a function of space and instrument state

• Decompose into PCA components

• Check if PSF can be reconstructed to within the requirements

EuclidConsortium

Euclid Consortium Meeting Bologna 7-8/9/11

Number of PCA components

• Number of PCA components is limited to <20 for

– spatial components

– temporal components

– both

– multi-wavelength components

for the model PSFs

• effectively ~1800 stars per exposure available to characterise the PSF in a cube of images

sufficient information to characterise PSF in principle

spatial temporal both multiwavelength

PCA Knowledge: requirements met

• Detailed modelling using shows that requirements are met using PCA modelling, with

– model PSFs as priors,– high fidelity simulated data (noise, pixellisation…) – real distribution of star brightnesses

for monochromatic data

Summary

• For Weak Lensing/VIS a coherent structure has been set in place which translates cosmic parameters to requirements on the instrument

• Given sufficient sensitivity and survey size, shear measurements depend primarily on the PSF knowledge with main contributors

– CTI effects modelling/correction

– the system PSF modelling

• An end-end chain of simulations has been developed which creates high fidelity data from VIS

• A comprehensive analysis has been made of

– the information content of the PSF and the ability to model it

– the ability to deal with the CCD CTI effects

• Detailed knowledge of the important issues has been achieved

• These comprehensive analyses indicate that all driving requirements are met
