abstract

We perform an analysis of the three-dimensional cosmic matter density field traced by galaxies of the SDSS-III/BOSS galaxy sample. The systematic-free nature of this analysis is confirmed by two elements: the successful cross-correlation with the gravitational lensing observations derived from Planck 2018 data and the absence of bias at scales $k \simeq 10^{-3}-10^{-2}h$ Mpc$^{-1}$ in the a posteriori power spectrum of recovered initial conditions. Our analysis builds upon our algorithm for Bayesian Origin Reconstruction from Galaxies (BORG) and uses a physical model of cosmic structure formation to infer physically meaningful cosmic structures and their corresponding dynamics from deep galaxy observations. Our approach accounts for redshift-space distortions and light-cone effects inherent to deep observations. We also apply detailed corrections to account for known and unknown foreground contaminations, selection effects and galaxy biases. We obtain maps of residual, so far unexplained, systematic effects in the spectroscopic data of SDSS-III/BOSS. Our results show that unbiased and physically plausible models of the cosmic large scale structure can be obtained from present and next-generation galaxy surveys.

  1. Two per cent measurement of $H_0$ from Cepheids alone

    astro-ph.CO 2025-09 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A Cepheid-only distance ladder with rigorous selection modelling and BORG-based peculiar velocities yields H0 = 71.7 +/- 1.3 km/s/Mpc, in mild tension with SH0ES and in ~3 sigma tension with Planck.

  2. A theoretical approach to density-split clustering

    astro-ph.CO 2025-01 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Density-split correlation functions can be modeled analytically through the two-point density PDF; a large-deviation-theory version matches N-body simulations on large scales with a single fitted variance parameter.

  3. Renormalized Perturbation Theory at Field-level: the LSS bootstrap in GridSPT

    astro-ph.CO 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A renormalized field-level perturbation theory is shown to recover the LSS bootstrap parameter consistently across different grid cutoffs, validated at third and fifth order against N-body simulations.

  4. Cosmological constraints from the Minkowski functionals of the BOSS CMASS galaxy sample

    astro-ph.CO 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A simulation-based emulator of Minkowski functionals applied to BOSS CMASS galaxies yields cosmological constraints from both Gaussian and non-Gaussian information, tighter than the 2PCF alone.
