Precision Tests of CO and [CII] Power Spectra Models against Simulated Intensity Maps

Azadeh Moradinezhad Dizgah, Farnik Nikakhtar, Garrett K. Keating +1

Line intensity mapping (LIM) is an emerging technique with a unique potential to probe a wide range of scales and redshifts. Realizing the full potential of LIM, however, relies on…

The smearing scale in Laguerre reconstructions of the correlation function

Farnik Nikakhtar, Ravi K. Sheth, Idit Zehavi

To a good approximation, on large cosmological scales the evolved two-point correlation function of biased tracers is related to the initial one by a convolution. For Gaussian init…

Laguerre reconstruction of the BAO feature in halo-based mock galaxy catalogues

Farnik Nikakhtar, Ravi K. Sheth, Idit Zehavi

Fitting half-integer generalized Laguerre functions to the evolved, real-space dark matter and halo correlation functions provides a simple way to reconstruct their initial shapes.…

New families in our Solar neighborhood: applying Gaussian Mixture models for objective classification of structures in the Milky Way and in simulations

Farnik Nikakhtar, Robyn E. Sanderson, Andrew Wetzel +10

The standard picture of galaxy formation motivates the decomposition of the Milky Way into 3--4 stellar populations with distinct kinematic and elemental abundance distributions: t…

Laguerre reconstruction of the correlation function on Baryon Acoustic Oscillation scales

Farnik Nikakhtar, Ravi K. Sheth, Idit Zehavi

The baryon acoustic oscillation feature can be used as a standard cosmological ruler. In practice, for sub-percent level accuracy on the distance scale, it must be standardized. Th…
