论文摘要
重力镜头已被确定为解决不同尺度上天体物理学基本问题的强大工具,从系外星鉴定到宇宙学中的暗能量和暗物质表征。图像模拟通过提供一种解决需求(例如系统错误表征,管道测试,校准分析,代码验证和模型开发)的方法来实现重力镜头的全部潜力的基本作用。我们介绍了图像模拟在强和弱重力镜头中的产生和应用的一般概述
Gravitational lensing has been identified as a powerful tool to address fundamental problems in astrophysics at different scales, ranging from exoplanet identification to dark energy and dark matter characterization in cosmology. Image simulations have played a fundamental role in the realization of the full potential of gravitational lensing by providing a means to address needs such as systematic error characterization, pipeline testing, calibration analyses, code validation, and model development. We present a general overview of the generation and applications of image simulations in strong and weak gravitational lensing
