TL;DR
The paper discusses how the PILOT telescope in Antarctica can effectively measure cosmic shear, offering advantages over other sites and competing with space missions due to its high resolution and survey speed.
Contribution
It introduces the PILOT telescope as a powerful tool for cosmic shear measurements, highlighting its advantages in resolution and survey speed in Antarctic conditions.
Findings
PILOT has an order of magnitude faster survey speed than temperate sites.
PILOT's surface density is three times higher than comparable telescopes.
PILOT can compete with the proposed DUNE space mission.
Abstract
Cosmic shear offers a remarkbly clean way to measure the equation of state of the Universe and its evolution. Resolution over a wide field is paramount, and Antarctica offers unique possibilities in this respect. There is an order of magnitude gain in speed over temperate sites, or a factor three in surface density. This means that PILOT outperforms much larger telescopes elsewhere, and can compete with the proposed DUNE space mission. Keywords: Antarctic astronomy, Surveys, Adaptive optics, Weak lensing
