We test the impact of some systematic errors in weak-lensing (WL) magnification measurements with the COSMOS 30-band photo-z Survey flux limited to Iauto < 25.0 using correlations of both source galaxy counts and magnitudes. Systematic obscuration effects are measured by comparing counts and magnification correlations. We use the Advanced Camera for Survey-Hubble Space Telescope catalogues to identify potential blending objects (close pairs) and perform the magnification analyses with and without blended objects. We find that blending effects start to be important (∼0.04-mag obscuration) at angular scales smaller than 0.1 arcmin. Extinction and other systematic obscuration effects can be as large as 0.10 mag (U band) but are typically smaller than 0.02 mag depending on the band. After applying these corrections, we measure a 3.9σ magnification signal that is consistent for both counts and magnitudes. The corresponding projected mass profiles of galaxies at redshift z ≃ 0.6 (MI ≃ −21) is Σ = 25 ± 6 M⊙ h3 pc–2 at 0.1 Mpc h–1, consistent with NFW type profile with M200 ≃ 2 × 1012 M⊙h pc–2. Tangential shear and flux-size magnification over the same lenses show similar mass profiles. We conclude that magnification from counts and fluxes using photometric redshifts has the potential to provide complementary WL information in future wide-field surveys once we carefully take into account systematic effects, such as obscuration and blending.

弱透镜放大倍率中的混合和遮蔽

我们测试了弱透镜 (WL) 放大测量中的一些系统误差的影响,其中 COSMOS 30 波段 photo-z 测量通量限制在 Iauto <; 25.0 使用源星系数量和大小的相关性。通过比较计数和放大相关性来测量系统性遮蔽效果。我们使用用于测量哈勃太空望远镜目录的高级相机来识别潜在的混合对象(近对),并在有和没有混合对象的情况下进行放大分析。我们发现混合效果在小于 0.1 arcmin 的角尺度上开始变得重要(~0.04-mag obscuration)。消光和其他系统性遮蔽效应可高达 0.10 mag(U 波段),但通常小于 0.02 mag,具体取决于波段。应用这些校正后,我们测量了 3。9σ 放大信号,对于计数和幅度都是一致的。在红移 z ≃ 0.6 (MI ≃ -21) 处对应的投影星系质量剖面为 Σ = 25 ± 6 M⊙ h3 pc–2 在 0.1 Mpc h–1,与 M200 ≃ 2 × 1012 M⊙ 的 NFW 型剖面一致个人计算机–2。相同透镜上的切向剪切和通量大小放大显示相似的质量分布。我们得出结论,一旦我们仔细考虑系统效应,例如遮蔽和混合,使用光度学红移的计数和通量放大有可能在未来的广域调查中提供补充的 WL 信息。与 M200 ≃ 2 × 1012 M⊙h pc–2 的 NFW 型剖面一致。相同透镜上的切向剪切和通量大小放大显示相似的质量分布。我们得出结论,一旦我们仔细考虑系统效应,例如遮蔽和混合,使用光度学红移的计数和通量放大有可能在未来的广域调查中提供补充的 WL 信息。与 M200 ≃ 2 × 1012 M⊙h pc–2 的 NFW 型剖面一致。相同透镜上的切向剪切和通量大小放大显示相似的质量分布。我们得出结论,一旦我们仔细考虑系统效应,例如遮蔽和混合,使用光度学红移的计数和通量放大有可能在未来的广域调查中提供补充的 WL 信息。
