Abstract The Chinese Space Station Optical Survey (CSS-OS) is a planned full sky survey operated by the Telescope (CSST). It can simultaneously perform photometric imaging and spectroscopic slitless surveys, will probe weak strong gravitational lensing, galaxy clustering, individual galaxies clusters, active galactic nucleus, so on. aims to explore properties of dark matter energy other important cosmological problems. In this work, we focus on two main CSS-OS scientific goals, i.e., lensing...
This paper is the first of a series papers constraining cosmological parameters with weak lensing peak statistics using $\sim 450~\rm deg^2$ imaging data from Kilo Degree Survey (KiDS-450). We measure high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR: $\nu$) convergence peaks in range $3<\nu<5$, and employ theoretical models to derive expected values. These are validated suite simulations. take into account two major systematic effects, boost factor effect baryons on mass-concentration relation dark matter...

Galaxy shear - cosmic microwave background (CMB) lensing convergence cross-correlations contain additional information on cosmology to auto-correlations. While being immune certain systematic effects, they are affected by the galaxy intrinsic alignments (IA). This may be responsible for reported low amplitude of $\times$ CMB cross-correlations, compared standard Planck $\Lambda$CDM (cosmological constant and cold dark matter) prediction. In this work, we investigate how IA affects...
ABSTRACT The interacting dark energy (IDE) model is a promising alternative cosmological that has the potential to solve fine-tuning and coincidence problems by considering interaction between matter energy.

In this paper, we analyze in detail with numerical simulations how the mask effect can influence weak lensing peak statistics reconstructed from shear measurement of background galaxies. It is found that high fractions are systematically enhanced due to masks, larger masked area, higher enhancement. case about $13\%$ total fraction peaks SNR $ν\ge 3$ $\sim 11\%$ comparison 7\%$ mask-free our considered cosmological model. This induce a large bias on studies statistics. Even for survey area...
