We construct a field-based Bayesian Hierarchical Model for cosmic shear that includes, for the first time, the important astrophysical systematics of intrinsic alignments and baryon feedback, in addition to a gravity model. We add to the BORG-WL framework the tidal alignment and tidal torquing model (TATT) for intrinsic alignments and compare them with the non-linear alignment (NLA) model. With synthetic data, we have shown that adding intrinsic alignments and sampling the TATT parameters does not reduce the constraining power of the method and the field-based approach lifts the weak lensing degeneracy. We add baryon effects at the field level using the enthalpy gradient descent (EGD) model. This model displaces the dark matter particles without knowing whether they belong to a halo and allows for self-calibration of the model parameters, which are inferred from the data. We have also illustrated the effects of model misspecification for the baryons. The resulting model now contains the most important physical effects and is suitable for application to data.

  1. De-baryonifying halos via optimal transport

    astro-ph.CO 2024-11 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A proof-of-concept method de-baryonifies halos by sampling gravity-only maps at fixed optimal transport cost from the full-physics map, recovering the correct convergence power spectrum suppression in IllustrisTNG.

  2. Disentangling modified gravity and galaxy bias with field-level inference

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    With fixed known initial phases, voxel-by-voxel Poisson likelihood on the galaxy number-counts field breaks the f(R)–bias degeneracy that power spectra cannot resolve, with voids and walls driving the gain.

  3. DISCO-DJ II: a differentiable particle-mesh code for cosmology

    astro-ph.CO 2025-10 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A GPU-accelerated, differentiable particle-mesh N-body code achieves per-cent-level power-spectrum accuracy with few time steps and recovers sigma_8 plus initial conditions from a noisy mock field.

  4. Mapping luminous and dark matter in the Universe

    hep-th 2025-02 unverdicted novelty 1.0 of 10

    A review/vision essay argues that baryonic effects on the clustering of matter, a key systematic for upcoming lensing surveys, can be modeled and calibrated through a combination of simulations and new observables.
