摘要: We demonstrate that the intrinsic alignment of galaxies with large-scale tidal fields sources an extra contribution to recently-detected cross-correlation galaxy shear and weak lensing microwave background. The term is analogy 'GI' in standard cosmic studies, results a reduction amplitude cross-correlation. compute linear non-linear theory, show it can be at roughly 15% level for CFHT Stripe 82 redshift distribution, if canonical alignments assumed. new therefore potentially reconcile apparently low value measured LCDM. discuss various small-scale effects signal dependence on source distribution. exciting possibility self-calibrating joint analysis background
