Constraining cosmology with density-split clustering
Speaker
Carolina Cuesta-Lazaro MIT, Durham University (UK)
Abstract
The dependence of galaxy clustering on local density provides an effective method for extracting non-Gaussian information from galaxy surveys. The two-point correlation function (2PCF) provides a complete statistical description of a Gaussian density field. However, the late-time density field becomes non-Gaussian due to non-linear gravitational evolution and higher-order summary statistics are required to capture all of its cosmological information. In this talk, I’ll show how we can retrieve a large amount of this information by combining clustering statistics from regions of different environmental density. I’ll also discuss the ongoing work of constructing simulation-based methods to model DS clustering statistics for a DESI-like survey.
