abstract
We present a method to mitigate the effects of fiber assignment incompleteness in two-point power spectrum and correlation function measurements from galaxy spectroscopic surveys, by truncating small angular scales from estimators. We derive the corresponding modified correlation function and power spectrum windows to account for the small angular scale truncation in the theory prediction. We validate this approach on simulations reproducing the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) Data Release 1 (DR1) with and without fiber assignment. We show that we recover unbiased cosmological constraints using small angular scale truncated estimators from simulations with fiber assignment incompleteness, with respect to standard estimators from complete simulations. Additionally, we present an approach to remove the sensitivity of the fits to high $k$ modes in the theoretical power spectrum, by applying a transformation to the data vector and window matrix. We find that our method efficiently mitigates the effect of fiber assignment incompleteness in two-point correlation function and power spectrum measurements, at low computational cost and with little statistical loss.

Optimal and exact wide-angle power spectrum estimation
For finite-rank signals the optimal wide-angle estimator is the two-ℓ Yamamoto form, whose exact window is a finite FFT-computable sum that improves ultra-large-scale SNR by O(1).

Lyman-$\alpha$ forest holography: 3D predictions from 1D measurements
One-dimensional Lyman-α forest power spectrum measurements, propagated through the ForestFlow emulator, predict three-dimensional clustering that matches DESI BAO and ACCEL-2 simulation results.

Assessing the large-scale angular clustering of UNIONS Lyman Break Galaxies via cross-correlations
UNIONS Lyman-break galaxy auto-clustering is unusable at large scales due to imaging systematics, but LBG x CMB-lensing and LBG x quasar cross-spectra are measured robustly, with amplitudes consistent with predictions.

An analytic approximation to the covariance between pre- and post-reconstruction galaxy two-point statistics
A simple analytic formula built from the Gaussian disconnected covariance and a perturbative pre-post cross-power spectrum reproduces the simulation-estimated cross-covariance well enough for cosmological inference.

Reanalyzing DESI DR1: 4. Percent-Level Cosmological Constraints from Combined Probes and Robust Evidence for the Normal Neutrino Mass Hierarchy
A combined-analysis of DESI galaxy clustering, CMB lensing, BAO, CMB, and supernovae yields percent-level Lambda-CDM parameters, improved dark-energy figure-of-merit, and neutrino-mass bounds that disfavor the inverte...

Fiducial-Cosmology-dependent systematics for the DESI 2024 Full-Shape Analysis
Changing the assumed fiducial cosmology in DESI DR1 full-shape mock analyses shifts inferred parameters by at most 0.22 sigma in full-modeling and 0.45 sigma in ShapeFit, both within the survey's statistical uncertainty.

Measurement of Parity-Violating Modes of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) Year 1 Luminous Red Galaxies' 4-Point Correlation Function
DESI's first parity-violation search shows a strong auto-correlation signal that disappears when the sky is split into patches, pointing to underestimated mocks' variance rather than new physics.

Separating Angular and Radial Modes with Spherical-Fourier Bessel Power Spectrum on All Scales and Implications for Systematics Mitigation
A spherical Fourier-Bessel analysis of galaxy clustering lets survey analysts cut only the angular and radial modes contaminated by systematics, preserving large-scale modes that standard multipole analyses would discard.
