HI constraints from the cross-correlation of eBOSS galaxies and Green Bank Telescope intensity maps

no code implementations9 Feb 2021 Laura Wolz, Alkistis Pourtsidou, Kiyoshi W. Masui, Tzu-Ching Chang, Julian E. Bautista, Eva-Maria Mueller, Santiago Avila, David Bacon, Will J. Percival, Steven Cunnington, Chris Anderson, Xuelei Chen, Jean-Paul Kneib, Yi-Chao Li, Yu-Wei Liao, Ue-Li Pen, Jeffrey B. Peterson, Graziano Rossi, Donald P. Schneider, Jaswant Yadav, Gong-Bo Zhao

We present the joint analysis of Neutral Hydrogen (HI) Intensity Mapping observations with three galaxy samples: the Luminous Red Galaxy (LRG) and Emission Line Galaxy (ELG) samples from the eBOSS survey, and the WiggleZ Dark Energy Survey sample.

Hybrid-basis inference for large-scale galaxy clustering: combining spherical and Cartesian Fourier analyses

1 code implementation29 Jul 2020 Mike Shengbo Wang, Santiago Avila, Davide Bianchi, Robert Crittenden, Will J. Percival

Future precision cosmology from large-scale structure experiments including the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) and Euclid will probe wider and deeper cosmic volumes than those covered by previous surveys.

The clustering of the SDSS-IV extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey DR16 luminous red galaxy and emission line galaxy samples: cosmic distance and structure growth measurements using multiple tracers in configuration space

Peacock, Vanina Ruhlmann-Kleider, Hélion du Mas des Bourboux, Johan Comparat, Stephanie Escoffier, Eva-Maria Mueller, Jeffrey A. Newman, Graziano Rossi, Arman Shafieloo, Donald P. Schneider

We perform a multi-tracer analysis using the complete Sloan Digital Sky Survey IV (SDSS-IV) extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (eBOSS) DR16 luminous red galaxy (LRG) and the DR16 emission line galaxy (ELG) samples in the configuration space, and successfully detect a cross correlation between the two samples, and find the growth rate to be $f\sigma_8=0. 342 \pm 0. 085$ ($\sim25$ per cent accuracy) from the cross sample alone.

Perfectly parallel cosmological simulations using spatial comoving Lagrangian acceleration

1 code implementation10 Mar 2020 Florent Leclercq, Baptiste Faure, Guilhem Lavaux, Benjamin D. Wandelt, Andrew H. Jaffe, Alan F. Heavens, Will J. Percival, Camille Noûs

Existing cosmological simulation methods lack a high degree of parallelism due to the long-range nature of the gravitational force, which limits the size of simulations that can be run at high resolution.

Beyond BAO: improving cosmological constraints from BOSS with measurement of the void-galaxy cross-correlation

no code implementations1 Apr 2019 Seshadri Nadathur, Paul M. Carter, Will J. Percival, Hans A. Winther, Julian Bautista

Combining void information with that from BAO and galaxy RSD in the same CMASS sample, we measure $D_A(0. 57)/r_s=9. 36\pm0. 07$ (at 0. 75% precision), $H(0. 57)r_s=(14. 03\pm0. 16)\;10^3$ kms$^{-1}$Mpc$^{-1}$ (1. 1%) and $f\sigma_8=0. 450\pm0. 019$ (4. 2%), consistent with cosmic microwave background (CMB) measurements from Planck.

An accurate linear model for redshift space distortions in the void-galaxy correlation function

no code implementations20 Dec 2017 Seshadri Nadathur, Will J. Percival

We derive a linear theory model for the redshift space void-galaxy correlation that is valid at all pair separations, including deep within the void, and use this to obtain expressions for the monopole $\xi^s_0$ and quadrupole $\xi^s_2$ contributions.

When combined with supernova Ia data, we find H0 = 67. 3+/-1. 0 km/s/Mpc even for our most general dark energy model, in tension with some direct measurements.

Splitting the sample into multiple overlapping redshift slices to extract the redshift information of galaxy clustering, we obtain a measurement of $D_A(z)/r_d$ and $H(z)r_d$ at nine effective redshifts with the full covariance matrix calibrated using MultiDark-Patchy mock catalogues.

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.
