Effects of Self-Calibration of Intrinsic Alignment on Cosmological Parameter Constraints from Future Cosmic Shear Surveys

Yao, Ji, Ishak, Mustapha, Lin, Weikang et al.

Understand

Intrinsic alignments (IA) of galaxies have been recognized as one of the most serious contaminants to weak lensing.

These systematics need to be isolated and mitigated in order for ongoing and future lensing surveys to reach their full potential.
The IA self-calibration (SC) method was shown in previous studies to be able to reduce the GI contamination by up to a factor of 10 for the 2-point and 3-point correlations.
The SC method does not require to assume an IA model in its working and can extract the GI signal from the same photo-z survey offering the possibility to test and understand structure formation scenarios and their relationship to IA models.
