A Spherical Harmonic Approach to Redshift Distortion and a Measurement of Omega from the 1.2 Jy IRAS Redshift Survey
read the original abstract
We present a formalism for analysing redshift distortions based on a spherical harmonic expansion of the density field. We use a maximum likelihood estimator for the combination of density and bias parameters, $\Omega^0.6/b$. We test the method with $N$-body simulations and apply it to the 1.2 Jy IRAS redshift survey.

A unified harmonic framework for dark siren cosmology
The GW-galaxy cross-correlation method, unified with spectral sirens in a harmonic framework, can measure H0 to 1% and Omega_m to 5% precision with 2 years of data from next-generation detectors like Einstein Telescop...
