Is dark energy simply a cosmological constant? What is the geometry / curvature of the Universe? Is General Relativity the correct theory of gravity on cosmic scales? How cold is cold dark matter? What are the density distributions / profiles of cosmic structures (Galaxies, Groups, Clusters, etc.) at different scales?...... The Scientific Goals of Weak Lensing

If one plans to calibrate the multiplicative factor “a+b κ ”, one should pay attention to its dependence on “ κ ”, which, though, is not known a priori in observations.

Summary We find that it has many advantages to measure the cosmic shear using the image power spectrum in Fourier space … … It corrects for PSF model independently, with simple and rigorous math; Effects due to photon noise is removed statistically, including images processed/combined with Multidrizzle ; Accurate to the second order in shear/convergence ; Pixelation effect is not important as long as the pixel size is less than 1/3 of the FWHM of the PSF (no dithering case); No need to identify the centroid of the image ; Fast image processing : < 10 -2 CPU seconds/Galaxy; S / N per galaxy Increased; Immune to misidentification of stars as galaxies.

Summary The remaining problems are: Measurement of the PSF ; Galaxy weighting ; Measurement of the correlation functions of shear ; Theoretical prediction accuracy ;......
