Abstract

We present a tomographic weak lensing analysis of the Kilo Degree Survey Data Release 4 (KiDS-1000), using a new pseudo angular power spectrum estimator (pseudo-C_ℓ) under development for the ESA Euclid mission. Over 21 million galaxies with shape information are divided into five tomographic redshift bins, ranging from 0.1 to 1.2 in photometric redshift. We measured pseudo-C_ℓ using eight bands in the multipole range 76 < ℓ < 1500 for auto- and cross-power spectra between the tomographic bins. A series of tests were carried out to check for systematic contamination from a variety of observational sources including stellar number density, variations in survey depth, and point spread function properties. While some marginal correlations with these systematic tracers were observed, there is no evidence of bias in the cosmological inference. B-mode power spectra are consistent with zero signal, with no significant residual contamination from E/B-mode leakage. We performed a Bayesian analysis of the pseudo-C_ℓ estimates by forward modelling the effects of the mask. Assuming a spatially flat ΛCDM cosmology, we constrained the structure growth parameter S₈ = σ₈(Ωₘ/0.3)^(1/2) = 0.754_(−0.029)^(+0.027). When combining cosmic shear from KiDS-1000 with baryon acoustic oscillation and redshift space distortion data from recent Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) measurements of luminous red galaxies, as well as the Lyman-α forest and its cross-correlation with quasars, we tightened these constraints to S₈ = 0.771_(−0.032)^(+0.006). These results are in very good agreement with previous KiDS-1000 and SDSS analyses and confirm a ∼3σ tension with early-Universe constraints from cosmic microwave background experiments.

The authors would like to thank Dr Lorne Whiteway for useful comments and discussions. We would also like to thank the reviewer for their helpful comments that helped enrich this work. The mixing matrix calculation used a publicly available Wigner 3-j symbol code developed by Dr Whiteway and it can be found in https://github.com/LorneWhiteway/UCLWig3j. The K-Means code used for the jackknife covariances for systematics was built on top of a code developed by Dr Erin Sheldon, publicly available in https://github.com/esheldon/kmeans_radec. The analysis performed in this work also made use of the following packages and software: NumPy (Harris et al. 2020), SciPy (Virtanen et al. 2020), Matplotlib (Hunter 2007), GetDist (Lewis 2019), Pandas (Wes McKinney 2010), AstroPy (Astropy Collaboration 2018) and Jupyter Lab (Kluyver et al. 2016). The Flask + Salmo mocks were generated and provided by Dr Chieh-An Lin. We thank Dr Edd Edmonson for technical support at the UCL HPC facilities.
