Rotation method for accelerating multiple-spherical Bessel function integrals against a numerical source function

Zachary Slepian, Yin Li, Marcel Schmittfull +1

A common problem in cosmology is to integrate the product of two or more spherical Bessel functions (sBFs) with different configuration-space arguments against the power spectrum o…

Capturing Non-Gaussianity of the Large-Scale Structure with Weighted Skew-Spectra

Azadeh Moradinezhad Dizgah, Hayden Lee, Marcel Schmittfull +1

The forthcoming generation of wide-field galaxy surveys will probe larger volumes and galaxy densities, thus allowing for a much larger signal-to-noise ratio for higher-order clust…

BAO Modulation as a Probe of Compensated Isocurvature Perturbations

Chen Heinrich, Marcel Schmittfull

Compensated isocurvature perturbations (CIPs) are opposite spatial fluctuations in the baryon and dark matter density. They can be generated for example in the curvaton model in th…

Inflation and Dark Energy from spectroscopy at

Simone Ferraro, Michael J. Wilson, Muntazir Abidi +140

The expansion of the Universe is understood to have accelerated during two epochs: in its very first moments during a period of Inflation and much more recently, at , when D…
