Non-Gaussianity Constraints using Future Radio Continuum Surveys and the Multi-Tracer Technique

Abstract

Tighter constraints on measurements of primordial non-Gaussianity will allow the differentiation of inflationary scenarios. The cosmic microwave background bispectrum-the standard method of measuring the local non-Gaussianity-is limited by cosmic variance. Therefore, it is sensible to investigate measurements of non-Gaussianity using the large-scale structure. This can be done by investigating the effects of non-Gaussianity on the power spectrum on large scales. In this study we forecast the constraints on the local primordial non-Gaussianity parameter $f_{\mathrm{NL}}$ that can be obtained with future radio surveys. We utilize the multi-tracer method which reduces the effect of cosmic variance and takes advantage of the multiple radio galaxy populations which are differently biased tracers of the same underlying dark matter distribution. Improvements on previous work include the use of observational bias and halo mass estimates, updated simulations and realistic photometric redshift expectations, thus producing more realistic forecasts. Combinations of SKA simulations and radio observations were used as well as different redshift ranges and redshift bin sizes. It was found that in the most realistic case the 1 - $\sigma$ error on $f_{\mathrm{NL}}$ falls within the range 4.07 and 6.58, rivalling the tightest constraints currently available.
