Weak lensing surveys have become a powerful tool for mapping mass distributions and constraining the expansion history of our Universe, but continuum surveys must average over a large number of galaxies to average down the ellipticity noise due to the unknown ellipticity and orientation of the lensed galaxies. This Letter presents a technique for measuring weak lensing with velocity maps that avoids the ellipticity noise. By studying the inherent noise characteristics, we argue this new technique could rival or exceed the sensitivity of traditional continuum observations for upcoming HI radio surveys.

  1. How to augment cosmic shear measurements with radio polarimetry of galaxies?

    astro-ph.CO 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    A Gaussian statistical model of galaxy shapes and radio polarizations yields unbiased, minimum-variance estimators for cosmic shear, intrinsic alignment, and line-of-sight rotation that are accurate to first order.

  2. Weak Lensing with SKAO: Cosmic Shear Cosmology

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Forecasts indicate SKAO cosmic shear can constrain S8 to 5% alone and 3% combined with LSST or Euclid, with added benefits from polarization and kinematics for separating lensing signals.
