Measuring line-of-sight dependent Fourier-space clustering using FFTs
read the original abstract
Observed galaxy clustering exhibits local transverse statistical isotropy around the line-of-sight (LOS). The variation of the LOS across a galaxy survey complicates the measurement of the observed clustering as a function of the angle to the LOS, as fast Fourier transforms (FFTs) based on Cartesian grids, cannot individually allow for this. Recent advances in methodology for calculating LOS-dependent clustering in Fourier space include the realization that power spectrum LOS-dependent moments can be constructed from sums over galaxies, based on approximating the LOS to each pair of galaxies by the LOS to one of them. We show that we can implement this method using multiple FFTs, each measuring the LOS-weighted clustering along different axes. The N log(N) nature of FFTs means that the computational speed-up is a factor of >1000 compared with summing over galaxies. This development should be beneficial for future projects such as DESI and Euclid which will provide an order of magnitude more galaxies than current surveys.

Modeling survey-window and integral-constraint effects on PNG in the galaxy power spectrum with light-cone mocks
Light-cone mocks demonstrate that analytical corrections for survey-window and integral-constraint effects on PNG in galaxy power spectra lose accuracy below the equality scale and fail when PNG is present, enabling u...
