July 7th, 2019 - CIB Lensing: Basic Analysis II (Plots)
I am putting up some basic plots regarding the statistics of the total CIB, lensed CIB, and kappa maps. The projection effect by 'lenspix' needs to be investigated further, so for now I am taking the CIB lensed with null kappa maps as the unlensed CIB (labeled lensed null). Subsequent analyses such as contribution to a specific statistic by shell will be made later.
Histgrams (Left: unlensed/lensed CIB Right: kappa)
The lensed null and lensed histograms are almost identical.
Power Spectra
As expected, the power spectrum does not change due to lensing; the mean fractional difference is 0.04%.
3-point functions
While [math]\displaystyle{ b_{\ell} }[/math] changes little on average as well (0.24%), it seems that lensing at least affects the [math]\displaystyle{ b_{\ell} }[/math] at low [math]\displaystyle{ \ell }[/math].
4th Moments
The 4th moment barely changes at all due to lensing on average (-0.01%); there seems to be no relevance between the fractional difference and [math]\displaystyle{ \ell }[/math].
I will be looking into how to accurately calculate the effect of lensing on the statistics, as we cannot simply assume that the lensed null is the exact same as the unlensed CIB map.
