We present predictions for cosmological parameter constraints from combined measurements of second- and third-order aperture mass statistics of cosmic shear. The generalized third-order aperture mass is introduced and its relation to the convergence bispectrum is given. This quantity contains (in principle) all information about the bispectrum. Using ray-tracing simulations, we perform a Fisher matrix analysis for various cosmological parameters and show that the combination of $\langle M_{\rm ap}^2\rangle$ and $\langle M_{\rm ap}^3\rangle$ improves the parameter estimation significantly.To search for other articles by the author(s) go to: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abstract_service.html
