Science Objectives
• Dark matter distribution through weak lensing
• Collateral damage:– Galaxy evolution as related to environment– Cluster counts/samples– Stellar halo– Faint end of stellar Lum.Fn.– High-z qso’s

Dark matter / weak lensing
• Mass concentrations along line of sight deflect light rays. Gradient distortion correlated ellipticities
• Probe of– Galaxy halos: mass, extent, shape– Large scale structure mass power spectrum
• As function of source redshift: – Growth history H(z)

Cosmology with lensing
• Structure growth rate depends on expansion history of universe
• Measure both test of GR
• Space missions (JDEM, EDEM)– Ground-based surveys pave the way

Technical requirements
Shears
• Good image quality– Service mode, autofocus
• Well-behaved PSF– VST design– Good astrometry
• High-fidelity ellipticities– STEP project– KSB, shapelets, lensfit?
Redshifts
• Photo-z’s, many bands– KiDS + VIKING
• Photometric calibration– Calibration plan– Overlap with SDSS,
S.SkyMapper– extinction
• High-fidelity photo-z’s– PSF-matched aperture phot.– PHAT project– Spectroscopic calibration

Extinction
• N: equator– 10 - 15:50h– -5 - +4o
– 14 sq.deg in W2
• S: SGP area– 22 - 3:30h– -25 - -35o
