Effect of measurement errors on predicted cosmological constraints from shear peak statistics with large synoptic survey telescope

Effect of measurement errors on predicted cosmological constraints from shear peak statistics with large synoptic survey telescope

We study the effect of galaxy shape measurement errors on predicted cosmological constraints from the statistics of shear peak counts with the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST). We use the LSST Image Simulator in combination with cosmological N-body simulations to model realistic shear maps for...
