LSST Cosmology and LSSTxCMB-S4 Synergies Elisabeth Krause, Stanford
LSST Dark Energy Science Collaboration Lots of cross-wg discussions and Task Force hacks Junior involvement in talks and discussion Three new milestones! First meeting outside the UK Largest DE School attendance to date First collaboration photo Prepare for, and carry out, cosmology analyses with LSST data Science Working Groups: five key cosmological probes Clusters, Large Scale Structure, Strong Lensing, Supernovae, Weak Lensing Enabling Analyses Working Groups: understand LSST system + systematics Cosmological Simulations, Survey Simulations, Sensor Anomalies, Photometric Calibration, Photometric Redshift Estimation, Computing and Infrastructure

The left panel shows the joint posterior distribution on m and w, assuming an in the distance indicator of 0.12 mag. The green and cyan contours show the 68% and 95% constrai redshifts are used, while the red and after blue contours LSSY showyear1 the same constraints with spectroscopi panel shows the constraints on w marginalized over M. Results are shown separately as spectroscopic redshifts for all supernova hosts, and the more realistic case of photometric red priors were used. w 2 1 0 w a 1 2 Treu & Marshall 2016 3 4 LSST Science Book, Fig. 11.13 1.1 1 0.9 0.8 0.7 w 0

LSSTxCMB-S4 Synergies CMB-S4 and LSST are highly complementary in measurements, astrophysics, cosmology uncorrelated obs. systematics different techniques for derived measurements cross-correlate measurements calibrate observational & astrophysical systematics do experiments agree? multi-wavelength studies of clusters, galaxies, feedback joint analysis of consistent measurements maximize constraining power different parameter sensitivities, redshift dependencies [Each example requires specialized forecasts.]
LSSTxCMB-S4 Synergies Worked Example Galaxy weak lensing, CMB lensing probe same lensing effect, use different techniques to estimate shear/convergence Use CMB-S4xLSST crosscorrelation to self-calibrate LSST shear bias CMB-S4xLSST validates high-z shear calibration to LSST requirement Shear bias 68% constraints 0.040 0.035 0.030 0.025 0.020 0.015 0.010 0.005 0.000 Mean redshift 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.7 0.9 1.0 1.2 1.4 1.8 2.4 LSST shear: gal gal LSST full: gg, g gal, gal Combi2: gg, g CMB,g gal gal Combi1: CMB CMB, CMB gal, gal gal LSST full & CMB S4 lensing LSST requirement Schaan+ 2016 m 0 m 1 m 2 m 3 m 4 m 5 m 6 m 7 m 8 m 9
