Two- and three-dimensional wide-field weak lensing mass maps from the Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Program S16A data

摘要

We present wide-field (167 deg(2)) weak lensing mass maps from the Hyper Supreme-Cam Subaru Strategic Program (HSC-SSP). We compare these weak lensing based dark matter maps with maps of the distribution of the stellar mass associated with luminous red galaxies. We find a strong correlation between these two maps with a correlation coefficient of rho = 0.54 +/- 0.03 (for a smoothing size of 8'). This correlation is detected even with a smaller smoothing scale of 2' (rho = 0.34 +/- 0.01). This detection is made uniquely possible because of the high source density of the HSC-SSP weak lensing survey ((n) over bar similar to 25 arcmin(-2)). We also present a variety of tests to demonstrate that our maps are not significantly affected by systematic effects. By using the photometric redshift information associated with source galaxies, we reconstruct a three-dimensional mass map. This three-dimensional mass map is also found to correlate with the three-dimensional galaxy mass map. Cross-correlation tests presented in this paper demonstrate that the HSC-SSP weak lensing mass maps are ready for further science analyses.
