Detecting baryon acoustic oscillations in dark matter from kinematic weak lensing surveys
Detecting baryon acoustic oscillations in dark matter from kinematic weak lensing surveys
We investigate the feasibility of extracting Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) from cosmic shear tomography. We particularly focus on the BAO scale precision that can be achieved by future spectroscopy-based, kinematic weak lensing (KWL) surveys \citep[e.g.,][]{Huff13} in comparison to the traditional photometry-based weak lensing surveys. We simulate cosmic shear tomography data …
