19 . Tangential Shear Profile For a given point on the sky selected as a center, one can form a tangential (E-mode) projection of the spin- shear field: Then, measure the azimuthally averaged tangential shear profile as a function of angular radius This observable is related with differential information of mass properties: mean κ within θ M ( < θ ) θ At large radii, κ(r)~0, so that γ + ( θ ) ~ κ ( < θ )

20 Example: A1689 (Subaru/S-Cam) Tangential (E-mode) shear measurements (Top) from a red background sample, showing a significant coherent signal B-mode shear measurements (Bottom), showing no significant systematics S/N = sqrt[s^/n^] = 14 S/N = sqrt[s^/n^] = Measurements beyond the virial radius (~15 ) The errorbars are independent (no correlation) V-i selected red-galaxies (i <5.5), n g ~10 arcmin -

Observable Image Ellipticity 3.3 Star/Galaxy Separation 3.4 PSF Corrections 3.5 Weak Lensing Dilution Effect References: Kaiser, Squires, Broadhurst (KSB 1995) Erben et al. (001) Hoekstra et al. (1998) Bartelmann & Schneider (001) Refregier (003) Shear Testing Programme (STEP)

26 3.1 Practical Approaches Practical observations suffer from: Noise in shape measurements of faint, small distant galaxies PSF anisotropy (5-10%) varying from position to position Smearing of the lensing signal due to atmospheric smearing How to improve the shape measurement? How to correct for the PSF effects? How to obtain the unbiased shear estimate? KSB method based on the moment approach (KSB95) Quantify the shapes of images by Gaussian-weighted quadrupole shape moments IMCAT :: KSB-implementation for object detection, shape measurements KSB (1995) made Weak Lensing a reliable observational tool!!! Shapelets based on a complete, orthonormal set of D basis functions constructed from Hermite polynomials weighted by a Gaussian (Refregier 003)

27 3. Observable Image Ellipticity Observable ellipticity is expressed as a linear sum of (1) intrinsic, () gravitational shear, (3) PSF contributions in the limit of weak shearing both in lensing and PSF (KSB 1995, Bartelmann & Schneider 001): Ellipticity measured for a background galaxy e^(s): intrinsic ellipticity of the background q: quadrupole PSF anisotropy (CCD, stacking error etc.) P^γ: : response for gravitational shearing P^sm: : response for PSF anisotropy Ellipticity for a foreground star since e^(s)=γ=0

30 Isotropic Shear Calibration Mean shear calibration factor, as a function of object size Anisotropy correction for individual galaxy ellipticities: Large correction Isotropic correction: Small object Small objects are more affected by atmospheric smearing 1pixel = 0.0 arcsec (S-Cam)

31 3.5 Weak Lensing Dilution Effect Averaged shear over a local sample of Background + Cluster galaxies: γ diluted = γ BG N BG N + BG N Cluster Dilution factor: 1+ f dilution 1+ N N cluster BG In the central region of a rich cluster, the degree of dilution is as large as f~4!! Broadhurst, Takada, Umetsu et al. (005) A secure background selection is crucial!!

41 Summary Weak lensing has become a reliable observational tool (not just a theoretical tool) in the past decade thanks to successful developments in practical observational techniques (KSB/IMCAT, Shapelets etc.) as well as in instrumental technology (Subaru, HST, CFHT etc.). Cluster weak lensing is now a very hot research topic: - Mass distributions in merging clusters:: cluster physics, dark matter nature - Dark matter distributions out to cluster virial radii (or to filaments) - Strong + Weak lensing to probe the entire mass profile, constraining the nature of dark matter The dilution effect by cluster contamination is significant in the cluster central region, leading to systematic underestimations of NFW concentration and virial mass parameters. A secure background selection with color/photo-z information is crucial for cluster mass measurements. Thanks to high image quality, Subaru observations allow masssubstructure mapping in z= clusters (see also Okura, Umetsu, Futamase 007ab for the use of the higher-order WL effect, Flexion)

49 (Appendix) Cumulative Mass Estimator Aperture densitometry, or so-called z-statistic mass estimator (Fahlmann et al. 1994; Clowe et al. 000), in terms of observable galaxy shear estimates: θ max be taken as large as possible (θ( max <~ for Subaru/Scam) ζ(r) ) is measured from outside of R, allowing to avoid the inner strong lensing regime!!! The following gives a lower bound to the enclosed mass: > mean background, similar to the concept of background subtraction in photometry

50 Example: A1689 (Subaru/S-Cam) ζ-statistic cumulative mass measurements assuming <zs>=1 for the red-background sample; θ max =19 arcmin, while the projected virial radius is θ vir ~ 15 arcmin Note the errorbars are correlated!

51 Measurement (I): tangential shear Significant S/N of 1σ Signal being diluted by a factor of -5 without a secure background selection (x) cf., Clowe & Schneider 001; Bardeau et al. 004 Good agreement with r < 3 Signal r > 3 is weaker than expected from ACS Null-detection of B-mode signal, g X No significant systematics ( )

52 Measurement (II): magnification bias Number counts of the Background No gravitational lensing n0 = (1.6 ± 0.3) arcmin Significant detection of a depletion of red galaxy counts (9.3 σ) r>3 is weaker than expected from ACS Masking effect by member galaxies corrected ( )
