1 Stacked weak gravitational lensing: constraining galaxy clusters structure and cosmological parameters Giovanni Covone University Federico II, Naples, Italy! November 19, 2014 NAOC Observatory Colloquium
2 Summary! Why weak gravitational lensing? Stacked weak lensing by galaxy clusters in CFHTLenS: 1.the halo bias term 2. new constraints on the cosmological parameters 3. the c(m) at z~1 and z~0.3 Next step: weak lensing with the VLT Survey Telescope (VST)
3 What is Weak Gravitational Lensing
4 a short introduction to lensing (1) deflection angle source plane angular-diameter distance lens plane - measure total mass (baryonic + DM);! - well known physics (weak field limit General Relativity)! - no need to assume dynamical equilibrium!
5 a short introduction to lensing (2) first order effects: deflection of light and multiple images Galaxy Cluster SDSS J
6 a short introduction to lensing (2) first order effects: deflection of light and multiple images second order effect: differential deflection of an extended source, distortion.
7 a short introduction to lensing (2) first order effects: deflection of light and multiple images second order effect: differential deflection of an extended source, distortion. The deflection angle is a gradient of the (projected) Newtonian potential
8 Gravitational lensing effect, locally Convergence: isotropic magnification Shear: anisotropic stretching they are second derivatives of the lensing potential Much smaller of typical galaxy ellipticities!! You need a statistical approach
9 weak lensing by galaxy clusters
10 Why gravitational lensing?
11 Why gravitational lensing? What are the essential questions in fundamental cosmology? Which one can be tackled with astronomical techniques? Which methods? time scale: ~15 years
12 Why gravitational lensing? (1) What generated the baryon asymmetry? (2) What is the dark matter? (3) What is the dark energy? (4) Did inflation happen? (5) Is standard cosmology based on the correct physical principles? Euclid space mission
13 Characterising the LSS: Measurement of the halo bias Covone et al. (2014)
14 the large-scale distribution of matter Cosmological N-body simulations: DM large scale distributions Telescopes: distribution of baryons (galaxies, clusters of galaxies)
15 what is the halo bias Matter is not uniformly distributed Galaxy clusters halos are biased tracers of the underlying matter distribution. Simplified fluctua/on field with short + long wavelength (Peacock 2003)
16 what is the halo bias The halo bias is a measure of the correlated distribution of matter around galaxy clusters (White et al. 1987)
17 two terms in stacked shear profile by clusters Stacked lensing or shear-cluster cross-correlation on small scales, shear close to cluster center is dominated by the mass of the average cluster (e.g, first halo term) at large scales, the correlation between mass and clusters distribution is measured; this can be used to measure the bias factor (as function of scale; e.g. the second halo term).
18 The second-halo term 2-halo term in the mass density profiles, at scales lager than 10 Mpc. rms fluctuation in the mass distribution on scales of 8/h Mpc
19 shear contribution by the second-halo term Oguri & Takata (2011)
20 shear contribution by the second-halo term mass density at z, cluster halo parameters second order Bessel function dependence on linear power spectrum no contribution from uncorrelated matter distribution along the line of sight
21 How to measure it? The signal from the 2-halo term too low to be measured around individual clusters Method: statistically superposition of the shear signal around many (similar) clusters, to get the mean tangential shear Galaxy clusters are binned according to some observable quantity (richness, luminosity,, but not WL mass!) We also obtain the mean density profile of clusters
22 Previous results: Johnston et al. (2009) SDSS data, ~10^5 clusters local sample, below z~0.1
23 the data: CFHTLenS public CFHTLenS catalog state-of-art shear measurements from the group (lensfit, Miller et al. 2013) ugriz observations over 154 sq. deg. (4 fields) zphot measurements; accuracy 0.04 (1 + z); catastrophic outlier rate of about 4%.
24 the cluster catalog Wen et al. (2012) catalog, based on zphot from SDSS-III 132,684 clusters in the redshift range of 0.05<z<0.8 BCG defines the cluster center
25 the selected cluster sample! redshift range: 0.1 < z < 0.6 at least one radial shear measurement in the inner => 1176 galaxy clusters, median z= , 89, 457, and 287 in the 4 CFHTLS fields No further closer selection was applied
26 selection of background galaxies color selection mainly following Medezinski et al. (2010); Oguri et al. (2012) contamination fraction of foreground galaxies density of background galaxies: ~ 6 / arcmin^2 tests on COSMOS zphot catalog! (A. Phriksee master thesis, 2014)
27 profiles of individual clusters shear profiles for individual clusters from 0.1 to 20 from shear measurements to excess surface mass density
28 binning in order to sum clusters shear signal, you must choose a well-measured observable r-band optical richness scales with mass (e.g., Wen et al. 2012) stacking of clusters in six bins of optical richness (goal: ~ same SN in each bin)
29 stacked profiles: extreme bins R L *<16 DS tot M ü êpc 2 D tot DS 1 h DS 2 h 476 clusters, Mass ~ R L *<100 DS tot M ü êpc 2 D tot DS 1 h DS 2 h 10 clusters, Mass ~
30 check for systematic effects in shear measurements: tangential vs cross component shear decomposed along to directions gravitational lensing must not have a curl component (torsion) because it derives from a scalar potential in analogy to electrodynamics: E (scalar) and B (verctorial) modes B modes quantify systematic (i.e., non-gravitational) effects in shear measurements
31 check for systematic effects in shear measurements: tangential vs cross component R L *<16 DS tot M ü êpc 2 D tot DS 1 h DS 2 h 476 clusters, Mass ~ M ü êpc 2 D
32 check for systematic effects in shear measurements: tangential vs cross component M ü êpc 2 D R L *<100 DS tot M ü êpc 2 D tot DS 1 h DS 2 h 10 clusters, Mass ~
33 the fitting model (1) first halo modelled with a modified NFW (Baltz et al. 2009)!! (2) second halo term (3) offset mass component
34 the Navarro, Frenk & White profile CDM simulation: dark matter halos follows a universal profile the concentration c CDM prediction: concentration is strongly correlated with mass (and redshift)
35 BMO model (Baltz, Marshall & Oguri 2009) NFW has divergent total mass real CDM haloes expected to be truncated due to tidal effects power-law cut-off: n controls the sharpness of the truncation Note: be careful when using NFW for M(c)! Oguri & Hamana (2011): on large-scale fitting with NFW,!! mass underestimate ~10%!! c overestimated ~20%
36 halo centering offset real BCG close enough to DM halo center possible BCG misidentification => underestimate ΔΣ(R) at small scales and bias low the c measurements. additional component with azimuthally symmetric Gaussian distribution mass fraction and scale length of the Gaussian distribution are free parameters
37 the fitting model (1) first halo modelled with a modified NFW (Baltz et al. 2009)!! (2) second halo term (3) offset mass component 5 free parameters: mass, c, halo term, offset mass component + related scale length
38
39 removing systematic effects: random fields random catalog of 5000 clusters with the same redshift distribution (over 4 fields) random signal must be subtracted from measured stacked profiles M ü êpc 2 D M ü êpc 2 D
40 removing systematic effects: random fields random catalog of 5000 clusters with the same redshift distribution (over 4 fields) random signal must be subtracted from measured stacked profiles M ü êpc 2 D M ü êpc 2 D spurious signal ~1-σ level, see also Miyatake et al. (2013); likely residual systematics in the shear measurements at the edges of detector.
41 results! Results of the Fit of Profiles of the Six Stacked Bins in Optical Richness
42 scaling relations (1) virial cluster mass versus optical richness in agreement with Wen et al. (2012)
43 scaling relations (1) virial cluster mass versus optical richness Warning!! we assumed no evolution from z=0 to z=0.6! (work in progress) in agreement with Wen et al. (2012)
44 the 2-halo term vs halo mass first detection beyond z~0.1 Note:" degeneracy with rms of mass distribution!
45 next step: removing the degeneracy Sereno et al. (2014, submitted)
46 joint analysis of clustering and stacked gravitational lensing of galaxy clusters matter auto-correlation function: halo density field auto-correlation function cross-correlation function stacked lensing clustering
47 the method we track clusters of galaxies rather than galaxies; we consider the same clusters catalog for both lensing and clustering; we determine bias and σ8 based exclusively on the large-scale signal. No need for a scaling relation (between mass and some baryonic properties) No need to determine the cluster selection function
48 the data set optically selected clusters of galaxies identified from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III (SDSS-III, data release 8, Wen et al. 2012) for the 2-point correlation function: subsample of galaxy clusters, from a contiguous area of 9000 deg2 binning in 4 richness bins
49 only clustering The redshift-space 2-point correlation function
50 only stacked lensing of galaxy clusters two-point correlation function of a photometric sample of clusters selected from the SDSS at 0.1 < z < 0.6 one richness bin
51 removing degeneracy: joint analysis of clustering and stacked gravitational lensing of galaxy clusters Sereno, Veropalumbo, Marulli et al. (2014) pro: σ8 measurement does not rely on any mass-observable scaling relation pro: minimal modelling and well controlled systematics
52 direct measurement of bias red line: prediction by Tinker et al. (2010) for σ8 = 0.8 at z = 0.37.
53 Prospects The lensing signal is proportional to the matter density stacked lensing and clustering can then constrain the product stacking the signal for lenses in small redshifts bins. Requires very large survey (Euclid).
54 On the mass-concentration relation
55 c(m) relation from stacked shear at z~0.36 flatter, but slope consistent with Duffy et al. (2008), normalization differs at the 1σ level. closer to results by Bhattacharya et al. (2013), Prada et al. (2012)
56 Conclusions WL stacked analysis of 1176 clusters in CFHTLenS, 0.1<z<0.6, mass Halo bias amplitude and correlation with cluster mass as predicted in LCDM numerical simulations Scaling relation with optical richness flat M(c) and higher than Duffy et al. predictions; new determination of cosmological parameters through clustering and WL stacked lensing
