Reconstructing the dark matter density, velocity, and tidal (MTV) fields from galaxy surveys is essential for advancing our understanding of large-scale structure Universe. In this work, we present a machine learning-based framework using UNet convolutional neural network to reconstruct MTV mock samples DESI bright survey within redshift range $0.1 < z 0.4$.

Abstract The galaxy intrinsic alignment (IA) is a dominant source of systematics in weak lensing (WL) studies. In this paper, by employing large simulations with semianalytical formation, we investigate the IA effects on WL peak statistics. Different simulated samples different redshift distributions are constructed, where both shear and signals included. Convergence reconstruction statistics then performed for these samples. Our results show that abundances mainly consist two aspects. One...
Gravitational waves (GWs) may be magnified or de-magnified due to lensing. This phenomenon will bias the distance estimation based on matched filtering technique. Via multi-sphere ray-tracing technique, we study GW magnification effect and selection with particular attention stellar-mass binary black holes (BBHs). We find that, for observed luminosity $\lesssim 3~\mathrm{Gpc}$, which is aLIGO/Virgo observational horizon limit, average keeps as unity, namely unbiased estimation, relative...

Abstract Images taken by space telescopes typically have a superb spatial resolution, but relatively poor sampling rate due to the finite CCD pixel size. Beyond Nyquist limit, it becomes uncertain how much pixelation effect may affect accuracy of galaxy shape measurement. It is timely study this issue given that number space-based large-scale weak lensing surveys are planned. Using Fourier_Quad method, we quantify shear recovery error as function factor Q , i.e., ratio between FWHM...
