Euclid: Cosmology forecasts from the void-galaxy cross-correlation function with reconstruction

Georges Meylan, Frédéric Courbin, Richard Massey, Yi Wang

We have investigated the cosmological constraints that can be expected from measurement of the cross-correlation of galaxies with cosmic voids identified in the Euclid spectroscopic survey, which will include spectroscopic information for tens of millions ...

Probing the nature of Dark Energy through the study of large scale structures using spectroscopic surveys and their simulations

Andrei Variu

Measurements of large-scale structure (LSS), as performed on the largest 3D map of over two million extragalactic sources from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, together with measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies, are in complete a ...

Cosmological constraints with the linear point from the BOSS survey

Huanyuan Shan, Cheng Zhao

The Linear Point (LP), defined as the mid-point between the baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) peak and the associated left dip of the two-point correlation function (2PCF), xi(s), is proposed as a new standard ruler which is insensitive to non-linear effec ...

Euclid preparation XXIV. Calibration of the halo mass function in λ(ν)CDM cosmologies

Slobodan Ilic, Georges Meylan, Frédéric Courbin, Fabio Finelli, Maurizio Martinelli, Gianluca Castignani, Marcello Farina, Austin Chandler Peel, Yi Wang

Euclid's photometric galaxy cluster survey has the potential to be a very competitive cosmological probe. The main cosmological probe with observations of clusters is their number count, within which the halo mass function (HMF) is a key theoretical quanti ...

Beyond - ?CDM constraints from the full shape clustering measurements from BOSS and eBOSS

Cheng Zhao

We analyse the full shape of anisotropic clustering measurements from the extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey quasar sample together with the combined galaxy sample from the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey. We obtain constraints on the ...

Strong and micro lensing in distant quasars

Eric Gérard Guy Paic

Most large galaxies contain Super Massive Black Holes at their centers, drawing matter nearby to form swirling accretion disks emitting electromagnetic radiation. These are Active Galactic Nuclei. The brightest quasars are the most luminous Universe object ...

TDCOSMO I. An exploration of systematic uncertainties in the inference ofH(0)from time-delay cosmography

Frédéric Courbin

Strong-lensing time delays enable the measurement of the Hubble constant (H0) independently of other traditional methods. The main limitation to the precision of time-delay cosmography is mass-sheet degeneracy (MSD). Some of the previous TDCOSMO analyses b ...

Cosmic void exclusion models and their impact on the distance scale measurements from large-scale structure

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Amélie Tamone, Andrei Variu, Daniel Felipe Forero Sanchez, Cheng Zhao

Baryonic Acoustic Oscillations (BAOs) studies based on the clustering of voids and matter tracers provide important constraints on cosmological parameters related to the expansion of the Universe. However, modelling the void exclusion effect is an importan ...

DESI mock challenge Halo and galaxy catalogues with the bias assignment method

Yu Yu, Cheng Zhao, Ginevra Favole

Context. We present a novel approach to the construction of mock galaxy catalogues for large-scale structure analysis based on the distribution of dark matter halos obtained with effective bias models at the field level. Aims. We aim to produce mock galaxy ...

Void BAO measurements on quasars from eBOSS

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Amélie Tamone, Andrei Variu, Daniel Felipe Forero Sanchez, Cheng Zhao

We present the clustering of voids based on the quasar (QSO) sample of the extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey Data Release 16 in configuration space. We define voids as overlapping empty circumspheres computed by Delaunay tetrahedra spanned b ...

Euclid preparation: XXVIII. Forecasts for ten different higher-order weak lensing statistics

Frédéric Courbin, Fabio Finelli, Richard Massey, Maurizio Martinelli, Jean-Luc Starck, Gianluca Castignani, Marcello Farina, Austin Chandler Peel, Yi Wang

Recent cosmic shear studies have shown that higher-order statistics (HOS) developed by independent teams now outperform standard two-point estimators in terms of statistical precision thanks to their sensitivity to the non-Gaussian features of large-scale ...

The two-point correlation function covariance with fewer mocks

Cheng Zhao

We present FITCOV an approach for accurate estimation of the covariance of two-point correlation functions that requires fewer mocks than the standard mock-based covariance. This can be achieved by dividing a set of mocks into jackknife regions and fitting ...
