Shears from shapelets Konrad Kuijken Leiden
Shapelets Direct modelling of PSF and sources as Gaussians x polynomials (QHO!) Effects of shear, PSF &c analytic Model sources as PSF elliptical galaxy: PSF [1+1 S1+2 S2+…] C where C = c0 S00 + c2 S20 + c4 S40 + … 2 fit model to pixel values: straightforward
Shapelets PRO: CON Shapelet coeffs replace pixels (compression) Error propagation simple Simple combinations of coeffs. mimic weighted moments Can be extended to flexions CON Galaxies are not Gaussian!
Choices Fixed order (N=8) for all sources Ellipticity modelled with 1st order operators Size determined by Gauss fit to each source (quantized harmonically) Centroids adjusted to zero 10,01 terms PSF: all stars fitted with same , coeffs. interpolated quadratically over image Shear estimator is <i> (without 1-2)
Next: 1. Sech-shapelets Gaussian poly Sech poly (radial orders 0,2,4,6,8,10)
Gaussian vs sech parent (N=8): = .7 1 1.3 = .2 .3 .4 .5
Next 2: Non-linear ellipticity terms Calculate the shapelet coeffs of a sheared round shapelet, fit to 4th order in ellipticity Sheared n=0,m=0 n=2 n=4 n=6 n=8 n=0 e=-0.7 .. +0.7
Sheared n=2,m=0 n=2 n=4 n=6 n=8 n=0 e=-0.7 .. +0.7
Sheared n=4,m=0 n=2 n=4 n=6 n=8 n=0 e=-0.7 .. +0.7
Sheared n=6,m=0 n=2 n=4 n=6 n=8 n=0 e=-0.7 .. +0.7
