Mitigation of DESI fiber assignment incompleteness effect on two-point clustering with small angular scale truncated estimators

M. Pinon, A. de Mattia, P. McDonald +50

We present a method to mitigate the effects of fiber assignment incompleteness in two-point power spectrum and correlation function measurements from galaxy spectroscopic surveys,…

Measurement of Parity-Odd Modes in the Large-Scale 4-Point Correlation Function of SDSS BOSS DR12 CMASS and LOWZ Galaxies

Jiamin Hou, Zachary Slepian, Robert N. Cahn

A tetrahedron is the simplest shape that cannot be rotated into its mirror image in 3D. The 4-Point Correlation Function (4PCF), which quantifies excess clustering of quartets of g…

Overview of the Instrumentation for the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument

B. Abareshi, J. Aguilar, S. Ahlen +264

The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) has embarked on an ambitious five-year survey to explore the nature of dark energy with spectroscopy of 40 million galaxies and quas…

A Test for Cosmological Parity Violation Using the 3D Distribution of Galaxies

Robert N. Cahn, Zachary Slepian, Jiamin Hou

We show that the galaxy 4-Point Correlation Function (4PCF) can test for cosmological parity violation. The detection of cosmological parity violation would reflect previously unkn…

Analytic Gaussian Covariance Matrices for Galaxy -Point Correlation Functions

Jiamin Hou, Robert N. Cahn, Oliver H. E. Philcox +1

We derive analytic covariance matrices for the -Point Correlation Functions (NPCFs) of galaxies in the Gaussian limit. Our results are given for arbitrary and projected onto…

ENCORE: An Estimator for Galaxy -Point Correlation Functions

Oliver H. E. Philcox, Zachary Slepian, Jiamin Hou +3

We present a new algorithm for efficiently computing the -point correlation functions (NPCFs) of a 3D density field for arbitrary . This can be applied both to a discrete spe…
