Exploring gas thermodynamics around galaxies from the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effects: impact of galaxy-halo connection, 2D projection and velocity field

Sadaf Kadir, Bernardita Ried Guachalla, Sihan Yuan +2

A complete picture of the gas thermodynamics around galaxies is imprinted on the cosmic microwave background (CMB). Indeed, the thermal, kinematic, and relativistic Sunyaev-Zel'dov…

Bounds on galaxy stochasticity from halo occupation distribution modeling

Dylan Britt, Daniel Gruen, Oliver Friedrich +2

The joint probability distribution of matter overdensity and galaxy counts in cells is a powerful probe of cosmology, and the extent to which variance in galaxy counts at fixed mat…

Robust cosmological inference from non-linear scales with k-th nearest neighbor statistics

Sihan Yuan, Tom Abel, Risa H. Wechsler

We present the methodology for deriving accurate and reliable cosmological constraints from non-linear scales (<50Mpc/h) with k-th nearest neighbor (kNN) statistics. We detail our…

Cosmological constraints from density-split clustering in the BOSS CMASS galaxy sample

Enrique Paillas, Carolina Cuesta-Lazaro, Will J. Percival +13

We present a clustering analysis of the BOSS DR12 CMASS galaxy sample, combining measurements of the galaxy two-point correlation function and density-split clustering down to a sc…

Precise Cosmological Constraints from BOSS Galaxy Clustering with a Simulation-Based Emulator of the Wavelet Scattering Transform

Georgios Valogiannis, Sihan Yuan, Cora Dvorkin

We perform a reanalysis of the BOSS CMASS DR12 galaxy dataset using a simulation-based emulator for the Wavelet Scattering Transform (WST) coefficients. Moving beyond our previous…
