abstract

Next-generation cosmological surveys will observe larger cosmic volumes than ever before, enabling us to access information on the primordial Universe, as well as on relativistic effects. In a companion paper, we applied a Fisher analysis to forecast the expected precision on $f_{\rm NL}$ and the detectability of the lensing magnification and Doppler contributions to the power spectrum. Here we assess the bias on the best-fit values of $f_{\rm NL}$ and other parameters, from neglecting these light-cone effects. We consider forthcoming 21cm intensity mapping surveys (SKAO) and optical galaxy surveys (DESI and Euclid), both individually and combined together. We conclude that lensing magnification at higher redshifts must be included in the modelling of spectroscopic surveys. If lensing is neglected in the analysis, this produces a bias of more than 1$\sigma$ - not only on $f_{\rm NL}$, but also on the standard cosmological parameters.

  1. Impact and measurability of linear relativistic effects in galaxy surveys

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    Neglecting linear GR effects biases f_NL at 1–3σ for Euclid/SPHEREx in SFB forecasts; multi-tracer improves Doppler detection and weakly breaks b_ϕ f_NL degeneracy.

  2. Unbiased analysis of primordial non-Gaussianity: the multipoles of the full relativistic power spectrum

    astro-ph.CO 2025-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Integrated relativistic (lensing, ISW, time-delay) corrections to power-spectrum multipoles bias predicted f_NL constraints by ~3σ (Euclid) and ~20σ (MegaMapper); a bright-faint split partly offsets the luminosity-fun...

  3. Primordial non-Gaussianity -- the effects of relativistic and wide-angle corrections to the power spectrum

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

    Including the quadrupole in power-spectrum forecasts improves f_NL precision by 45% to 63%, while neglected relativistic and wide-angle corrections shift f_NL by up to 0.6 sigma for MegaMapper.

    Updated SKAO-AA4 forecasts show multi-tracer HI+galaxy analyses can reach σ(f_local_NL)≲1 and improve αs bounds by tens of percent when combined with future CMB, while foregrounds and GR light-cone effects remain the ...
