Measuring ${\sigma }_8$ using DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys Emission-Line Galaxies and Planck CMB Lensing and the Impact of Dust on Parameter Inference

Abstract

Measuring the growth of structure is a powerful probe for studying the dark sector, especially in light of the ${\sigma }_8$ tension between primary CMB anisotropy and low-redshift surveys. This paper provides a new measurement of the amplitude of the matter power spectrum, ${\sigma }_8$, using galaxy-galaxy and galaxy-CMB lensing power spectra of Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument Legacy Imaging Surveys Emission-Line Galaxies and the $\text{Planck}$ 2018 CMB lensing map. We create an ELG catalog composed of $24$ million galaxies and with a purity of $85\%$, covering a redshift range $0<z<3$, with $z_{\mathrm{mean}}=1.09$. We implement several novel systematic corrections, such as jointly modeling the contribution of imaging systematics and photometric redshift uncertainties to the covariance matrix. We also study the impacts of various dust maps on cosmological parameter inference. We measure the cross-power spectra over $f_{\mathrm{sky}}=0.25$ with a signal-to-background ratio of up to $30\sigma$. We find that the choice of dust maps to account for imaging systematics in estimating the ELG overdensity field has a significant impact on the final estimated values of ${\sigma }_8$ and ${\Omega }_{\mathrm{M}}$, with far-infrared emission-based dust maps preferring ${\sigma }_8$ to be as low as $0.702\pm 0.030$, and stellar-reddening-based dust maps preferring as high as $0.719\pm 0.030$. The highest preferred value is at $\sim 3\sigma$ tension with the $\text{Planck}$ primary anisotropy results. These findings indicate a need for tomographic analyses at high redshifts and joint modeling of systematics.
