The lensing and temperature imprints of voids on the Cosmic Microwave Background
Yan-Chuan Cai, Mark Neyrinck, Qingqing Mao +3
We have searched for the signature of cosmic voids in the CMB, in both the Planck temperature and lensing-convergence maps; voids should give decrements in both. We use zobov voids…
A Cosmic Void Catalog of SDSS DR12 BOSS Galaxies
Qingqing Mao, Andreas A. Berlind, Robert J. Scherrer +9
We present a cosmic void catalog using the large-scale structure galaxy catalog from the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS). This galaxy catalog is part of the Sloan Di…
Cosmic Voids in the SDSS DR12 BOSS Galaxy Sample: The Alcock-Paczynski Test
Qingqing Mao, Andreas A. Berlind, Robert J. Scherrer +5
We apply the Alcock-Paczynski (AP) test to the stacked voids identified using the large-scale structure galaxy catalog from the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS). This…
VIDE: The Void IDentification and Examination toolkit
P. M. Sutter, Guilhem Lavaux, Nico Hamaus +7
We present VIDE, the Void IDentification and Examination toolkit, an open-source Python/C++ code for finding cosmic voids in galaxy redshift surveys and N-body simulations, charact…
Constraining Primordial Non-Gaussianity with Moments of the Large Scale Density Field
Qingqing Mao, Andreas A. Berlind, Cameron K. McBride +3
We use cosmological N-body simulations to investigate whether measurements of the moments of large-scale structure can yield constraints on primordial non-Gaussianity. We measure t…
From Finance to Cosmology: The Copula of Large-Scale Structure
Robert J. Scherrer, Andreas A. Berlind, Qingqing Mao +1
Any multivariate distribution can be uniquely decomposed into marginal (1-point) distributions, and a function called the copula, which contains all of the information on correlati…
