Nonparametric Variational Inference Reconstruction of the Cosmic Expansion History from SNe Ia -- the charm2 code

Iason Saganas, Matteo Guardiani, Natalia Porqueres +1

Cosmological analyses using the latest set of type Ia SNe data weakly favor an evolving dark energy (EDE) model without strongly disfavoring the standard LCDM paradigm. Nonparametr…

Euclid: Field-level inference of primordial non-Gaussianity and cosmic initial conditions

A. Andrews, J. Jasche, G. Lavaux +147

A primary target of the \Euclid space mission is to constrain early-universe physics by searching for deviations from a primordial Gaussian random field. A significant detection of…

Hybrid Summary Statistics

T. Lucas Makinen, Ce Sui, Benjamin D. Wandelt +2

We present a way to capture high-information posteriors from training sets that are sparsely sampled over the parameter space for robust simulation-based inference. In physical inf…

Hybrid summary statistics: neural weak lensing inference beyond the power spectrum

T. Lucas Makinen, Alan Heavens, Natalia Porqueres +3

In inference problems, we often have domain knowledge which allows us to define summary statistics that capture most of the information content in a dataset. In this paper, we pres…

Accuracy requirements on intrinsic alignments for Stage-IV cosmic shear

Anya Paopiamsap, Natalia Porqueres, David Alonso +2

In the context of cosmological weak lensing studies, intrinsic alignments (IAs) are one the most complicated astrophysical systematic to model, given the poor understanding of the…

A hierarchical field-level inference approach to reconstruction from sparse Lyman- forest data

Natalia Porqueres, Oliver Hahn, Jens Jasche +1

We address the problem of inferring the three-dimensional matter distribution from a sparse set of one-dimensional quasar absorption spectra of the Lyman- forest. Using a Bayesi…
