I investigate the effects of source clustering on the weak lensing statistics, more particularly on the statistical properties of the local convergence, kappa, at large angular scales. The Perturbation Theory approach shows that the variance is not affected by source clustering at leading order but higher order moments such as the third and fourth moments can be. I compute the magnitude of these effects in case of an Einstein-de Sitter Universe for the angular top-hat filtered convergence. In these calculations the so-called Broadhurst and multiple lens coupling effects are neglected. The source clustering effect is found to be particularly important when the redshift distribution is broad enough so that remote background sources can be significantly lensed by closer concentrations of galaxy sources. The source clustering effects are shown to remain negligible, for both the skewness and the kurtosis, when the dispersion of the redshift of the sources is less than about 0.15.

Primordial Physics in the Nonlinear Universe: Revealing the oscillating halo bias from cosmological collider models
A binning-based IC method yields the first N-body measurements of oscillating halo bias from cosmological collider bispectra, with mass- and assembly-dependent phases fit by peak-background-split theory.

Pixelization effects in cosmic shear angular power spectra
Pixelization biases in pseudo-C_ell cosmic shear estimators are modeled from first principles, including a spin-2 HEALPix window derivation and empty-pixel corrections.

Non-linear infusion of intrinsic alignment and source clustering: impact on non-Gaussian cosmic shear statistics
A simulated-sky pipeline with six intrinsic-alignment and source-clustering models shows the delta-NLA model contaminates non-Gaussian cosmic shear probes most strongly, with underdense probes best able to distinguish models.

Avoiding lensing bias in cosmic shear analysis
Uniformly weighted pixelised shear maps recover unbiased cosmic shear and galaxy-galaxy lensing power spectra, while inverse-variance weighting introduces source-lens clustering bias.

A Comparative Study of Halo Mass Estimates from Group Catalogs and Lensing Signals
Using stacked weak lensing, the authors show that redMaPPer group masses agree best with lensing masses, Yang21 has mild biases, and Zou21 overestimates masses, with redshift and centering effects.

Fully non-linear simulations of galaxy intrinsic alignments for weak lensing with the MillenniumTNG lightcone
Intrinsic galaxy alignments alter simulated weak lensing convergence statistics by 20 to 30 percent in the MillenniumTNG lightcone, with the strongest effect for massive galaxies.
