Field-level inference of growth rate from DESI BGS galaxy and ZTF supernova simulations

Corentin Ravoux, Bastien Carreres, Julian Bautista +60

Galaxy peculiar velocities are a powerful probe of the growth rate of structure at low redshifts (), measured through the combination . These constraints are imp…
