Constraints on Running of Non-Gaussianity from Large Scale Structure Probes

Abstract

In this letter we present constraints on the scale-dependent "local" type primordial non-Gaussianity, which is described by non-Gaussianity's spectral index $n_{\mathrm{NG}}$, from the NRAO VLA Sky Survey and the quasar catalog of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 6, together with the SDSS Data Release 12 photo-z sample. Here, we use the auto-correlation analyses of these three probes and their cross-correlation analyses with the cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature map, and obtain the tight constraint on the spectral index: $n_{\mathrm{NG}}=0.2_{-1.0}^{+0.7}$ ($1\sigma$ C.L.), which shows the first competitive constraint on the running of non-Gaussianity from current large-scale structure clustering data. Furthermore, we also perform the forecast calculations and improve the limit of $n_{\mathrm{NG}}$ using the future Euclid mission, and obtain the standard deviation at 68\% confidence level: $\Delta n_{\mathrm{NG}}=1.74$ when considering the fiducial value $f_{\mathrm{NL}}=3$, which provides the complementary constraining power to those from the CMB bispectrum information.
