It is well known that estimating the pairwise velocity of galaxies, v_{12}, from the redshift space galaxy correlation function is difficult because this method is highly sensitive to the assumed model of the pairwise velocity dispersion. Here we propose an alternative method to estimate v_{12} directly from peculiar velocity samples, which contain redshift-independent distances as well as galaxy redshifts. In contrast to other dynamical measures which determine beta = sigma_8 x Omega^{0.6}, our method can provide an estimate of (sigma_8)^2 x Omega^{0.6} for a range of sigma_8 (here Omega is the cosmological mass density parameter while sigma_8 is the standard normalization parameter for the spectrum of matter density fluctuations). We demonstrate how to measure this quantity from realistic catalogues.

  1. Interpreting the stacked kinetic SZ effect I: velocity reconstruction and non-linear velocity effects

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Non-linear velocity terms cancel in real-space linear reconstruction, but redshift-space distortions reintroduce a 10–20% small-scale suppression of the stacked kSZ signal.

  2. Anomaly detection with spiking neural networks for LHC physics

    hep-ph 2025-07 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    Claims spiking neural network autoencoders are competitive with conventional autoencoders for LHC anomaly detection across all signal models tested.

  3. Impact of light sterile neutrinos on cosmological large scale structure

    astro-ph.CO 2025-01 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Sterile neutrinos suppress the matter power spectrum and halo mass and velocity functions while increasing halo pairwise infall velocities, with effects up to tens of percent for the most massive cases studied.
