Field-level inference of cosmic shear with intrinsic alignments and baryons
read the original abstract
We construct a field-based Bayesian Hierarchical Model for cosmic shear that includes, for the first time, the important astrophysical systematics of intrinsic alignments and baryon feedback, in addition to a gravity model. We add to the BORG-WL framework the tidal alignment and tidal torquing model (TATT) for intrinsic alignments and compare them with the non-linear alignment (NLA) model. With synthetic data, we have shown that adding intrinsic alignments and sampling the TATT parameters does not reduce the constraining power of the method and the field-based approach lifts the weak lensing degeneracy. We add baryon effects at the field level using the enthalpy gradient descent (EGD) model. This model displaces the dark matter particles without knowing whether they belong to a halo and allows for self-calibration of the model parameters, which are inferred from the data. We have also illustrated the effects of model misspecification for the baryons. The resulting model now contains the most important physical effects and is suitable for application to data.
