요약One of the biggest mysteries in Cosmology today relates to the nature of dark energy. Dark energy drives the observed cosmic expansion of the universe by counteracting the effects of gravity. The existence of dark energy could imply an exotic new type of substance, or the breakdown of General Relativity at cosmological scales. Any of these options would have significant implications for fundamental physics. Modern dark energy surveys, such as the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST), are designed to improve our understanding of dark energy by precisely measuring its properties.A powerful probe of dark energy is weak lensing, which refers to the deflection of light rays from distant astronomical sources due to matter along their path to us. Weak lensing induces a coherent alignment of observed galaxy shapes which directly depends on the integrated matter density along the line of sight, so-called cosmic shear. Measurements of cosmic shear can be used to understand the distribution and evolution of matter in our Universe, which in turn allow us to constrain dark energy properties. LSST will dramatically increase the statistical power of weak lensing surveys by observing tens of billions of galaxies during its 10 year mission. However, their power will be limited by a wide range of theoretical and observational systematics.This thesis develops software tools and algorithms to explore and mitigate weak lensing related systematics the LSST survey will face. One such systematic is blending, which refers to the visual overlap of light sources in astronomical images. Given the increased depth and number density of sources in LSST, we expect a large fraction of observable sources will be blended. Blending can create several types of biases in weak lensing measurements, and some of these remain unaccounted for by contemporary algorithms.First, we present a software package, the BlendingToolKit, with the goal of providing a framework to study blending-related measurement biases in a controlled way. It provides customizable simulations of galaxy blends; a framework to standardize the input and output of deblenders; and a library of relevant metrics related to detection, morphology reconstruction, and flux recovery of these sources. This package is actively being used in the LSST Dark Energy Science Collaboration to aid the development of new deblending methods.The next portion of the thesis is devoted to a probabilistic algorithm to mitigate blending-related biases: BLISS. This novel method uses simulation based inference (SBI) to produce a probabilistic catalog of blended galaxies which captures corresponding measurement uncertainty. We test our approach in LSST-like image simulations and demonstrate a significant improvement in recovering the flux of highly blended sources.Finally, we present a modern implementation of the hierarchical Bayesian shear inference framework in Schneider et al. 2015. Our implementation leverages GPUs and gradient-based samplers to improve upon its runtime by an order of magnitude. We rigorously test our algorithm on a set of 300k isolated parametric galaxies with realistic pixel and shape noise levels. We find that resulting shear measurements present no significant level of pixel noise bias, and that these meet the LSST requirement.Together, these three studies represent a significant contribution towards leveraging modern statistical and hardware tools to reduce the impact of image-level systematics in weak lensing measurements for dark energy surveys.
