Measurement of the Splashback Feature around SZ-selected Galaxy Clusters with DES, SPT and ACT

T. Shin, S. Adhikari, E. J. Baxter +107

We present a detection of the splashback feature around galaxy clusters selected using their Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) signal. Recent measurements of the splashback feature around op…

The mass-Peak Patch algorithm for fast generation of deep all-sky dark matter halo catalogues and its N-Body validation

George Stein, Marcelo A. Alvarez, J. Richard Bond

We present a detailed description and validation of our massively-parallel update to the mass-Peak Patch method, a fully predictive initial-space algorithm to quickly generate dark…

Cross-correlating Carbon Monoxide Line-intensity Maps with Spectroscopic and Photometric Galaxy Surveys

Dongwoo T. Chung, Marco P. Viero, Sarah E. Church +15

Line-intensity mapping (LIM or IM) is an emerging field of observational work, with strong potential to fit into a larger effort to probe large-scale structure and small-scale astr…

Joint power spectrum and voxel intensity distribution forecast on the CO luminosity function with COMAP

Håvard Tveit Ihle, Dongwoo Chung, George Stein +12

We develop a framework for joint constraints on the CO luminosity function based on power spectra (PS) and voxel intensity distributions (VID), and apply this to simulations of COM…
