Filter-substrate refraction causes dominant lateral shifts yielding 0.3-0.4% PSF size and ellipticity residuals across most Roman bands that exceed weak lensing requirements by an order of magnitude, while longitudinal defocus shifts remain negligible.
Inverting Fisher biases enables quick checks on whether specific systematics explain cosmological tensions.
A generalized Chaplygin-type solid unifies dark matter and dark energy via an early pressureless phase transitioning to a late solid phase that supports acceleration and produces distinct low-redshift perturbation signatures.
GalSBI extended with optimal transport subhalo matching and SBI to forward-model galaxy population plus clustering, validated against DES Y3 and HSC data with public code release.
Field-level inference from weak lensing maps yields significantly tighter cosmological constraints than power-spectrum analysis when using the same forward-modeling pipeline, especially on small scales.
An interacting sterile neutrino component via pseudoscalar mediator reconciles CMB and DESI DR2 BAO measurements with 2.7 sigma preference and reduces H0 tension to 2.4 sigma.
FRB dispersion measures directly constrain suppression of the matter power spectrum due to feedback at k ~ 0.1-3 h/Mpc, reduce posterior variance by a factor of ~8 at k~1 h/Mpc, and exclude extreme large-scale feedback scenarios at ~2 sigma.
COLA-based hybrid emulator reproduces nonlinear power spectrum boosts in w0wa models to <2% error vs EuclidEmulator2 and produces <0.3σ shifts in LSST-like cosmic shear parameter constraints.
The parity-odd intrinsic alignment power spectrum probes the collapsed limit of the parity-odd primordial trispectrum and can tighten constraints on parity-violating PNG when bias parameters are calibrated from N-body simulations.
Fixing the covariance at an incorrect cosmology in cluster count analyses leaves Ω_c, σ_8, and w estimates unbiased but distorts their uncertainties, driven by S_8 amplitude effects; a single update at the recovered best-fit cosmology restores correct normalization for LSST-like surveys.
Galaxy size-mass relations exhibit double power-law breaks at different pivot masses for quiescent versus bulge-dominated samples, coinciding with AGN activity scales.
A minimal bias model yields unbiased LambdaCDM constraints up to k_max=0.7 h/Mpc but biases neutrino mass estimates, while higher-order bias mimics baryonic suppression in LSST 3x2pt analyses using the new MGL pipeline.
Uniform discretization in scale factor and 2048^3 particle resolution allow reducing mass shells to ~50 and downsampling high-redshift particles with only 0.1-0.3 sigma impact on higher-order cosmic shear statistics under LSST-like conditions.
Calibration uncertainties during supernova light-curve fitting cause roughly 50% degradation in dark energy figure of merit for Stage IV surveys, dominating over 13% degradation from model training errors and showing near-degeneracy with cosmology.
A coordinated Rubin-DESI supernova survey could distinguish dynamical dark energy from Lambda CDM at over 5 sigma in one year using 2300 spectroscopically confirmed SNe Ia at low redshift.
Fisher forecasts show the weak lensing bispectrum reduces errors on CPL w0 and IDE coupling parameters but leaves f(R) scalaron constraints essentially unchanged after full marginalization over nuisance parameters.
Emulation of binned modified gravity power spectra to <1% accuracy enables MCMC forecasts that constrain μ and η via LSST large-scale structure combined with CMB lensing, with best sensitivity along the lensing combination Σ.
IRMaGiC extends redMaGiC to z=1-2 using joint LSST optical and Roman infrared data, reducing photo-z scatter and bias for LRGs.
Edge discontinuities in coadds cause significant shear biases only in extreme cases such as two-input-image stacks or 25% PSF size jumps, and these cases can be flagged and removed with a simple PSF variation statistic.
Pantheon+ releases 1701 light curves from 1550 spectroscopically confirmed Type Ia supernovae across 18 surveys for cosmological inference.
Photometric redshift uncertainties bias Anderson-Darling and Gaussian-mixture tests toward relaxed cluster classifications, with Gaussian errors producing ~95% relaxed recovery versus ~5% for unrelaxed clusters.
AnaCal recovers input shear with low bias in high-shear cluster regimes under LSST-like conditions, producing 0.24% mean mass bias.
Linear passband tilts shift best-fit w0 and wa by ~0.025 sigma and enlarge the w0-wa contour area by ~5% per 1%/100nm increase; quadratic tilts yield less conclusive results.
