MultiDarkLens Simulations: weak lensing light-cones and data base presentation

Understand

In this paper we present a large database of weak lensing light cones constructed using different snapshots from the Big MultiDark simulation (BigMDPL).

• The ray-tracing through different multiple planes has been performed with the GLAMER code accounting both for single source redshifts and for sources distributed along the cosmic time.
• This first paper presents weak lensing forecasts and results according to the geometry of the VIPERS-W1 and VIPERS-W4 field of view.
• Additional fields will be available on our database and new ones can be run upon request.
