Galaxy shapes have been observed to align with external tidal fields generated by the large-scale structures of the Universe. While the main source for these tidal fields is provided by long-wavelength density perturbations, tensor perturbations also contribute with a non-vanishing amplitude at linear order. We show that parity-breaking gravitational waves produced during inflation leave a distinctive imprint in the galaxy shape power spectrum which is not hampered by any scalar-induced tidal field. We also show that a certain class of tensor non-Gaussianities produced during inflation can leave a signature in the density-weighted galaxy shape power spectrum. We estimate the possibility of observing such imprints in future galaxy surveys.

  1. Improving cosmological constraints via galaxy intrinsic alignment in full-shape analysis

    astro-ph.CO 2024-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A Fisher forecast shows that adding full-shape intrinsic alignment information to galaxy clustering tightens cosmological constraints, particularly for dark energy and non-flat modified-gravity models.
