Value added weak lensing data products

HSC Survey weak lensing data products

These pages present some value added catalogs and analysis files that were produced by members of the HSC survey weak lensing team during analysis of the the first year HSC survey data.

Weak lensing mass maps (Oguri et al. 2018)

Weak lensing mass maps of HSC S16A six patches constructed using the Kaiser-Squires inversion method. The smoothing scale is 2 arcmin. See Oguri et al. (2018) for more details. For each patch, both E- and B-mode maps and their S/N maps are included. A quick explanation is found in the header of each fits file.

Cosmic shear measurements using pseudo-Cl method and chains (Hikage et al. 2019)

Cosmic shear measurements were carried out using the pseudo-Cl approach in Hikage et al. (2019). The corresponding measurements and chains are made available here.

For questions or requests for other data products, please contact Chiaki Hikage (chiaki.hikage@ipmu.jp). When using the above data, please cite the paper by Hikage et al. 2019, PASJ, 71, 43 (arXiv:1809.09148).

Cosmic shear measurements using two point correlation method and chains (Hamana et al. 2020)

Cosmic shear measurements were carried out using the real space two point correlation function approach in Hamana et al. (2020). The corresponding measurements and chains are made available here.

For questions or requests for other data products, please contact Takashi Hamana (hamana.tk at nao.ac.jp). When using the above data, please cite the paper by Hamana et al. 2020, PASJ, 72, 1.

Cosmic shear mock catalogs (Shirasaki et al. 2019)

The full sky ray tracing simulations of Takahashi et al. (2017), were used to generate 2268 mock catalogs for the Subaru HSC survey first-year shear catalog (Shirasaki et al. 2019). The details of the catalog production process is found in Shirasaki et al. (2019), arXiv:1901.09488. The mock data has the following contents:

Note that the source redshift of each mock galaxy follows the photo-z posterior distribution by the MLZ algorithm (Tanaka et al 2017). For galaxies without the MLZ photo-z information, the source redshift (col12) was set equal to -1. The catalogs total 1.7 TB in size and can be downloaded using this script.

The halo catalogs used in order to create the lensing mocks can be found here.
