The Santiago-Harvard-Edinburgh-Durham void comparison I: SHEDding light on chameleon gravity tests

no code implementations4 Oct 2017 Marius Cautun, Enrique Paillas, Yan-Chuan Cai, Sownak Bose, Joaquin Armijo, Baojiu Li, Nelson Padilla

We present a systematic comparison of several existing and new void finding algorithms, focusing on their potential power to test a particular class of modified gravity models - chameleon $f(R)$ gravity.

Redshift-space distortions around voids

no code implementations16 Mar 2016 Yan-Chuan Cai, Andy Taylor, John A. Peacock, Nelson Padilla

By extracting the monopole and quadrupole from the cross-correlation function, we measure the linear growth rate without prior knowledge of the void profile or velocity dispersion.
