摘要： Context. Weak lensing and clustering statistics beyond two-point functions can capture non-Gaussian information about the matter density field, thereby improving the constraints on cosmological parameters relative to the mainstream methods based on correlation functions and power spectra. Aims. This paper presents a cosmological analysis of the fourth data release of the Kilo Degree Survey based on the density split statistics, which measures the mean shear profiles around regions classified according to foreground densities. The latter is constructed from a bright galaxy sample, which we further split into red and blue samples, allowing us to probe their respective connection to the underlying dark matter density. Methods. We use the state-of-the-art model of the density splitting statistics and validate its robustness against mock data infused with known systematic effects such as intrinsic galaxy alignment and baryonic feedback. Results. After marginalising over the photometric redshift uncertainty and the residual shear calibration bias, we measure for the full KiDS-bright sample a structure growth parameter of $S_8 = \sigma_8 \sqrt{\Omega_\mathrm{m}/0.3} = 0.74^{+0.03}_{-0.02}$ that is competitive to and consistent with two-point cosmic shear results, a matter density of $\Omega_\mathrm{m} = 0.28 \pm 0.02$, and a constant galaxy bias of $b = 1.32^{+0.12}_{-0.10}$.

摘要： We provide novel constraints on the parameters defining the universal
pressure profile (UPP) within clusters of galaxies, and explore their
dependence on the cluster mass and redshift, from measurements of
Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Compton-$y$ profiles. We employ both the $\textit{Planck}$
2015 MILCA and the ACT-DR4 $y$ maps over the common $\sim 2,100\,\text{deg}^2$
footprint. We combine existing cluster catalogs based on KiDS, SDSS and DESI
observations, for a total of 23,820 clusters spanning the mass range
$10^{14.0}\,\text{M}_{\odot}

摘要： We constrain the redshift dependence of gas pressure bias $\left\langle b_{y} P_{\mathrm{e}}\right\rangle$ (bias-weighted average electron pressure), which characterises the thermodynamics of intergalactic gas, through a combination of cross-correlations between galaxy positions and the thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich (tSZ) effect, as well as galaxy positions and the gravitational lensing of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). The galaxy sample is from the fourth data release of the Kilo-Degree Survey (KiDS). The tSZ $y$ map and the CMB lensing map are from the {\textit{Planck}} 2015 and 2018 data releases, respectively. The measurements are performed in five redshift bins with $z\lesssim1$. With these measurements, combining galaxy-tSZ and galaxy-CMB lensing cross-correlations allows us to break the degeneracy between galaxy bias and gas pressure bias, and hence constrain them simultaneously. In all redshift bins, the best-fit values of $\bpe$ are at a level of $\sim 0.3\, \mathrm{meV/cm^3}$ and increase slightly with redshift. The galaxy bias is consistent with unity in all the redshift bins. Our results are not sensitive to the non-linear details of the cross-correlation, which are smoothed out by the {\textit{Planck}} beam. Our measurements are in agreement with previous measurements as well as with theoretical predictions. We also show that our conclusions are not changed when CMB lensing is replaced by galaxy lensing, which shows the consistency of the two lensing signals despite their radically different redshift ranges. This study demonstrates the feasibility of using CMB lensing to calibrate the galaxy distribution such that the galaxy distribution can be used as a mass proxy without relying on the precise knowledge of the matter distribution.

摘要： We present SKiLLS, a suite of multi-band image simulations for the weak lensing analysis of the complete Kilo-Degree Survey (KiDS), dubbed KiDS-Legacy analysis. The resulting catalogues enable joint shear and redshift calibration, enhancing the realism and hence accuracy over previous efforts. To create a large volume of simulated galaxies with faithful properties and to a sufficient depth, we integrated cosmological simulations with high-quality imaging observations. We also improved the realism of simulated images by allowing the point spread function (PSF) to differ between CCD images, including stellar density variations and varying noise levels between pointings. Using realistic variable shear fields, we accounted for the impact of blended systems at different redshifts. Although the overall correction is minor, we found a clear redshift-bias correlation in the blending-only variable shear simulations, indicating the non-trivial impact of this higher-order blending effect. We also explored the impact of the PSF modelling errors and found a small yet noticeable effect on the shear bias. Finally, we conducted a series of sensitivity tests, including changing the input galaxy properties. We conclude that our fiducial shape measurement algorithm, lensfit, is robust within the requirements of lensing analyses with KiDS. As for future weak lensing surveys with tighter requirements, we suggest further investments in understanding the impact of blends at different redshifts, improving the PSF modelling algorithm and developing the shape measurement method to be less sensitive to the galaxy properties.

摘要： In this work, we probe the star formation history of the Universe using tomographic cross-correlation between the cosmic infrared background (CIB) and galaxy samples. The galaxy samples are from the Kilo-Degree Survey (KiDS), while the CIB maps are made from \planck\, sky maps. We measure the cross-correlation in harmonic space with a significance of 43$\sigma$. We model the cross-correlation with a halo model, which links CIB anisotropies to star formation rates (SFR) and galaxy abundance. We assume that SFR has a lognormal dependence on halo mass, while galaxy abundance follows the halo occupation distribution (HOD) model. The cross-correlations give a best-fit maximum star formation efficiency of $\eta_{\mathrm{max}}= 0.41^{+0.09}_{-0.14}$ at a halo mass $\log_{10}(M_{\mathrm{peak}}/M_{\odot})= {12.14\pm 0.36}$. The derived star formation rate density (SFRD) is well constrained up to $z\sim 1.5$. The constraining power at high redshift is mainly limited by the KiDS survey depth. A combination with external SFRD measurements from previous studies gives $\log_{10}(M_{\mathrm{peak}}/M_{\odot})=12.42^{+0.35}_{-0.19}$. This tightens the SFRD constraint up to $z=4$, yielding a peak SFRD of $0.09_{-0.004}^{+0.003}\,M_{\odot} \mathrm { year }^{-1} \mathrm{Mpc}^{-3}$ at $z=1.74^{+0.06}_{-0.02}$, corresponding to a lookback time of $10.05^{+0.12}_{-0.03}$ Gyr. Both constraints are consistent, and the derived SFRD agrees with previous studies and simulations. Additionally, we estimate the galaxy bias $b$ of KiDS galaxies from the constrained HOD parameters and yield an increasing bias from $b=1.1_{-0.31}^{+0.17}$ at $z=0$ to $b=1.96_{-0.64}^{+0.18}$ at $z=1.5$. Finally, we provide a forecast for future galaxy surveys and conclude that, due to their considerable depth, future surveys will yield a much tighter constraint on the evolution of the SFRD.
