How I stop worrying about non-universality and : Constraining local with priors from HOD posteriors

Jiaxi Yu, Nhat-Minh Nguyen

Local primordial non-Gaussianity (local PNG) induces a scale-dependent contribution to galaxy clustering proportional to , where is the local PNG ampl…

Galaxy sizes as complementary (zero-)bias tracers of local primordial non-Gaussianity

Nhat-Minh Nguyen, Kazuyuki Akitsu, Atsushi Taruya

The scale-dependent bias in halo and galaxy power spectra is a key signature of local primordial non-Gaussianity (local PNG), with PNG sensitivity scaling as -- the ratio…

Reconstructing the local density field with combined convolutional and point cloud architecture

Baptiste Barthe-Gold, Nhat-Minh Nguyen, Leander Thiele

We construct a neural network to perform regression on the local dark-matter density field given line-of-sight peculiar velocities of dark-matter halos, biased tracers of the dark…

Wasserstein Gaussianization and Efficient Variational Bayes for Robust Bayesian Synthetic Likelihood

Nhat-Minh Nguyen, Minh-Ngoc Tran, Christopher Drovandi +1

The Bayesian Synthetic Likelihood (BSL) method is a widely-used tool for likelihood-free Bayesian inference. This method assumes that some summary statistics are normally distribut…

Sweeping Horndeski Canvas: New Growth-Rate Parameterization for Modified-Gravity Theories

Yuewei Wen, Nhat-Minh Nguyen, Dragan Huterer

We propose and numerically validate a new fitting formula that is sufficiently accurate to model the growth of structure in Horndeski theories of modified gravity for upcoming Stag…

Field-level inference of galaxy intrinsic alignment from the SDSS-III BOSS survey

Eleni Tsaprazi, Nhat-Minh Nguyen, Jens Jasche +2

As a large-scale overdensity collapses, it affects the orientation and shape of galaxies that form, by exerting tidal shear along their axes. Therefore, the shapes of elliptical ga…

Impacts of the physical data model on the forward inference of initial conditions from biased tracers

Nhat-Minh Nguyen, Fabian Schmidt, Guilhem Lavaux +1

We investigate the impact of each ingredient in the employed physical data model on the Bayesian forward inference of initial conditions from biased tracers at the field level. Spe…

Taking measurements of the kinematic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect forward: including uncertainties from velocity reconstruction with forward modeling

Nhat-Minh Nguyen, Jens Jasche, Guilhem Lavaux +1

We measure the kinematic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (kSZ) effect, imprinted by maxBCG clusters, on the Planck SMICA map of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). Our measurement, for the f…

Cosmology Inference from Biased Tracers using the EFT-based Likelihood

Franz Elsner, Fabian Schmidt, Jens Jasche +2

The effective-field-theory (EFT) approach to the clustering of galaxies and other biased tracers allows for an isolation of the cosmological information that is protected by symmet…

A rigorous EFT-based forward model for large-scale structure

Fabian Schmidt, Franz Elsner, Jens Jasche +2

Conventional approaches to cosmology inference from galaxy redshift surveys are based on n-point functions, which are under rigorous perturbative control on sufficiently large scal…
