abstract
The most commonly used estimators of the anisotropic galaxy power spectrum employ Fast Fourier transforms, and rely on a specific choice of the line-of-sight that breaks the symmetry between the galaxy pair. This leads to wide-angle effects, including the presence of odd power spectrum multipoles like the dipole ($\ell = 1$) and octopole ($\ell = 3$). In Fourier-space these wide-angle effects also couple to the survey window function. We present a self-consistent framework extending the commonly used window function treatment to include the wide-angle effects. We show that our framework can successfully model the wide-angle effects in the BOSS DR12 dataset. We present estimators for the odd power spectrum multipoles and, detect these multipoles in BOSS DR12 with high significance. Understanding the impact of the wide-angle effects on the power spectrum multipoles is essential for many cosmological observables like primordial non-Gaussianity and the detection of General Relativistic effects and represents a potential systematic for measurements of Baryon Acoustic Oscillations and redshift-space distortions.

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).

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.

Primordial power spectrum reconstructions from BOSS + eBOSS
Non-parametric knot-based reconstruction of the primordial power spectrum P_R(k) from BOSS+eBOSS data up to k=0.3 h/Mpc favors a quasi-scale-invariant power law and constrains n_s = 0.976 ± 0.021 with no evidence for ...

A sound horizon independent measurement of $H_0$ from BOSS, DESI and DES Y3
Combining BOSS power spectrum and bispectrum with DESI and DES lensing data yields a sound-horizon-free H0 = 70.2 ± 2.3 km/s/Mpc, with a 1.8σ BAO scale deviation that is scale-cut dependent.

Constraints on local primordial non-Gaussianity with 3d Velocity Reconstruction from the Kinetic Sunyaev-Zeldovich Effect
The first 3D kSZ velocity reconstruction yields a 7.2-sigma galaxy-velocity cross-correlation and a constraint fNL = -90 +210 -350, still consistent with zero.
