abstract

Non-linear redshift-space distortions ("fingers of God") are challenging to model analytically, a fact that limits the applicability of perturbation theory in redshift space as compared to real space. We show how this problem can be mitigated using a new observable, $Q_0$, which can be easily estimated from the redshift space clustering data and is approximately equal to the real space power spectrum. The new statistic does not suffer from fingers of God and can be accurately described with perturbation theory down to $k_{\rm max}\simeq 0.4~h~\text{Mpc}^{-1}$. It can be straightforwardly included in the likelihood at negligible additional computational cost, and yields noticeable improvements on cosmological parameters compared to standard power spectrum multipole analyses. Using both simulations and observational data from the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey, we show that improvements vary from $10\%$ to $100\%$ depending on the cosmological parameter considered, the galaxy sample and the survey volume.

    DESI DR1 quasars cross-correlated with Planck PR4 lensing give sigma8 = 0.929 and S8 = 0.922, about 1.5 sigma above Planck's LCDM prediction, and a sound-horizon-free H0 = 69.1 km/s/Mpc.

    astro-ph.CO 2025-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    BOSS full-shape data do not tighten Planck bounds on velocity-dependent dark matter-baryon scattering, but adding a DES S8 prior yields a greater than 2 sigma preference for a velocity-independent cross section and lo...
