在本文中，我们鼓励使用星系团测量光度红移信息，包括从流量放大的贡献，作为宇宙学的探测。我们目前的宇宙学预测时，聚类数据单独使用，当聚类与宇宙剪切分析相结合。我们考虑两种类型的聚类分析：第一，只有红移自相关层析红移箱聚类;第二，使用所有可用的红移箱相关。最后，我们考虑如何推断宇宙学参数可能会有偏见，使用每一个分析时，通量放大被忽略。第三阶段的地面调查，和第四阶段的空间为基础的调查建模与光度红移误差，和值的斜率的光度函数推断CFHTLenS目录。我们发现，结合剪切聚类信息可以改善宇宙学参数的约束，给出了一个改进的暗能量任务组的品质因数的1.33时，只有红移的自相关性用于聚类分析，上升到1.52时，在红移的互相关也包括在内。星系-星系透镜效应的加入进一步提高了质量，每种类型的聚类分析的品质因数分别增加了2.82和3.7倍。在一个聚类分析中的流量放大的存在并没有显着影响宇宙学约束的精度时，结合宇宙剪切和星系-星系透镜。然而，如果忽略放大率，推断的宇宙学参数值是有偏差的，某些宇宙学参数的偏差大于统计误差。（节录）
In this paper, we motivate the use of galaxy clustering measurements using photometric redshift information, including a contribution from flux magnification, as a probe of cosmology. We present cosmological forecasts when clustering data alone is used, and when clustering is combined with a cosmic shear analysis. We consider two types of clustering analysis: firstly, clustering with only redshift auto-correlations in tomographic redshift bins; secondly, using all available redshift bin correlations. Finally, we consider how inferred cosmological parameters may be biased using each analysis when flux magnification is neglected. Results are presented for a Stage III ground-based survey, and a Stage IV space-based survey modelled with photometric redshift errors, and values for the slope of the luminosity function inferred from CFHTLenS catalogues. We find that combining clustering information with shear can improve constraints on cosmological parameters, giving an improvement to a Dark Energy Task Force-like figure of merit by a factor of 1.33 when only auto-correlations in redshift are used for the clustering analysis, rising to 1.52 when cross-correlations in redshift are also included. The addition of galaxy-galaxy lensing gives further improvement, with increases in figure of merit by a factor of 2.82 and 3.7 for each type of clustering analysis respectively. The presence of flux magnification in a clustering analysis does not significantly affect the precision of cosmological constraints when combined with cosmic shear and galaxy-galaxy lensing. However if magnification is neglected, inferred cosmological parameter values are biased, with biases in some cosmological parameters larger than statistical errors. (Abridged)
