Basis function expansions of the two-point correlation function and reconstruction of the cosmological distance scale

Fatima Abd Alrahman, Farnik Nikakhtar, Marcello Musso +2

The shape of the correlation function of galaxy pairs can be used as a cosmological distance indicator. Most estimators of this shape require that one bin the pair counts, and cons…

Zel'dovich smearing approximation of the BAO feature for model-agnostic cosmological inference

Aseem Paranjape, Ravi K. Sheth

A model-agnostic description of the baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) feature in redshift space requires a number of ingredients. Physically, one must describe the impact of cosmol…

Correlation between H emitters and their cosmic web environment at

Ivan Rapoport, Vincent Desjacques, Ehud Behar +1

Future near-infrared spectroscopic galaxy surveys will target high-redshift emission-line galaxies (ELGs) to test cosmological models. Deriving optimal constraints from emission-li…

Scale-dependent bias and mode coupling in redshift-space clustering near the BAO scale

Aseem Paranjape, Ravi K. Sheth

The baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) feature in the 2-point clustering of biased tracers in redshift space can be described in a model-agnostic manner, relying only on the assumpt…

Model-agnostic basis functions for the 2-point correlation function of dark matter in linear theory

Aseem Paranjape, Ravi K. Sheth

We consider approximating the linearly evolved 2-point correlation function (2pcf) of dark matter in a cosmological model with parameters $\boldsymbol…

Leveraging protohalos and scale-dependent bias to calibrate the BAO scale in real space

Sasha Gaines, Farnik Nikakhtar, Nikhil Padmanabhan +1

The location of the baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) feature in the two-point correlation function (2PCF) of matter produces a standard ruler that is useful for the measurement of…

Eigen-decomposition of Covariance matrices: An application to the BAO Linear Point

Jaemyoung Jason Lee, Farnik Nikakhtar, Aseem Paranjape +1

The Baryon Acoustic Oscillation (BAO) feature in the two-point correlation function (TPCF) of discrete tracers such as galaxies is an accurate standard ruler. The covariance matrix…

The Stability of the BAO Linear Point under Modified Gravity

Jaemyoung Jason Lee, Bartolomeo Fiorini, Farnik Nikakhtar +1

Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAOs) are crucial in cosmological analysis, providing a standard ruler, as well as constraints on dark energy. In General Relativity models, the BAO L…

Displacement Field Analysis via Optimal Transport: Multi-Tracer Approach to Cosmological Reconstruction

Farnik Nikakhtar, Ravi K. Sheth, Nikhil Padmanabhan +2

We demonstrate the effectiveness of one of the many multi-tracer analyses enabled by Optimal Transport (OT) reconstruction. Leveraging a semi-discrete OT algorithm, we determine th…

Peak-peak correlations in the cosmic background radiation from cosmic strings

M. Sadegh Movahed, B. Javanmardi, Ravi K. Sheth

We examine the two-point correlation function of local maxima in temperature fluctuations at the last scattering surface when this stochastic field is modified by the additional fl…
