GEOMAX: beyond linear compression for 3pt galaxy clustering statistics

1 code implementation2 Dec 2019 Davide Gualdi, Héctor Gil-Marín, Marc Manera, Benjamin Joachimi, Ofer Lahav

By applying GEOMAX to bispectrum monopole measurements from BOSS DR12 CMASS redshift-space galaxy clustering data, we reduce the $68\%$ credible intervals for the inferred parameters $\left(b_1, b_2, f,\sigma_8\right)$ by $\left(50. 4\%, 56. 1\%, 33. 2\%, 38. 3\%\right)$ with respect to standard MCMC on the full data vector.

Geometrical compression: a new method to enhance the BOSS galaxy bispectrum monopole constraints

1 code implementation4 Jan 2019 Davide Gualdi, Héctor Gil-Marín, Marc Manera, Benjamin Joachimi, Ofer Lahav

We present a novel method to compress galaxy clustering three-point statistics and apply it to redshift space galaxy bispectrum monopole measurements from BOSS DR12 CMASS data considering a $k$-space range of $0. 03-0. 12\, h/\mathrm{Mpc}$.

COLA with scale-dependent growth: applications to screened modified gravity models

1 code implementation2 Mar 2017 Hans A. Winther, Kazuya Koyama, Marc Manera, Bill S. Wright, Gong-Bo Zhao

We present a general parallelized and easy-to-use code to perform numerical simulations of structure formation using the COLA (COmoving Lagrangian Acceleration) method for cosmological models that exhibit scale-dependent growth at the level of first and second order Lagrangian perturbation theory.

The Clustering of the SDSS DR7 Main Galaxy Sample I: A 4 per cent Distance Measure at z=0.15

no code implementations10 Sep 2014 Ashley J. Ross, Lado Samushia, Cullan Howlett, Will J. Percival, Angela Burden, Marc Manera

We create a sample of spectroscopically identified galaxies with $z < 0. 2$ from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 7, covering 6813 deg$^2$.

The Clustering of Galaxies in the SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: Measuring H(z) and D_A(z) at z = 0.57 with Clustering Wedges

Schneider, Daniel Thomas

The baryonic acoustic feature is used to obtain model independent constraints cz/H/r_s = 12. 28 +- 0. 82 (6. 7 per-cent accuracy) and D_A/r_s = 9. 05 +- 0. 27 (3. 0 per-cent) with a correlation coefficient of -0. 5, where r_s is the sound horizon scale at the end of the baryonic drag era.
