Upcoming weak lensing surveys on wide fields will provide the opportunity to reconstruct the structure along the line of sight tomographically by employing photometric redshift information about the source distribution. We define power-spectrum statistics, including cross correlation between redshift bins, quantify the improvement that redshift information can make in cosmological parameter estimation, and discuss ways to optimize the redshift binning. We find that within the adiabatic cold dark matter class of models, crude tomography using two or three redshift bins is sufficient to extract most of the information and improve the measurements of cosmological parameters that determine the growth rate of structure by up to an order of magnitude.

  1. Cosmic shear nulling as a geometrical cosmological probe: Methodology and sensitivity to cosmological parameters and systematics

    astro-ph.CO 2025-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A null test of BNT-transformed cosmic shear cross-spectra can constrain Omega_m and w0 geometrically, but requires photometric redshifts known to about 10^-3 and is subdominant to standard 3x2pt analysis.

  2. Novel geometrical test of cosmological expansion from photometric data

    astro-ph.CO 2025-02 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    The BNT transform enables a null test for cosmological expansion history from photometric weak lensing data that is independent of the matter power spectrum.

  3. Mitigating Nonlinear Systematics in Weak Lensing Surveys: The Bernardeau-Nishimichi-Taruya Approach

    astro-ph.CO 2024-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    The BNT transform of cosmic shear data makes ℓ-space cuts behave like k-space cuts, reducing nonlinear scale leakage and preserving unbiased S8 constraints in Euclid-like forecasts.

  4. KiDS+VIKING-450 cosmology with Bayesian hierarchical model redshift distributions

    astro-ph.CO 2026-05 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Bayesian hierarchical modeling of photometric redshifts in KiDS+VIKING-450 raises S8 to 0.756 ± 0.039 and reduces Planck tension to 1.9σ.

  5. Modeling Redshift Uncertainties in Roman Weak Lensing Cosmology

    astro-ph.CO 2026-02 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A PCA-based redshift uncertainty model, implemented for Roman in CoCoA, matches or outperforms the nine-bin mean-shift model at mitigating S8 and Omega_m biases in simulated cosmic shear analyses.
