Cosmological data challenges

Noisy large-scale structure data

  • Incomplete noisy sky with systematic efgects (masks, complex noise models, ...)
  • Transformation: physical (comoving) space observational space

ALTAIR (ALcock-Paczyński consTrAIned Reconstruction)

  • Liberate cosmology → Cosmological parameter inference via the Alcock-Paczyński (AP) test
  • Also jointly infer underlying 3D power spectrum + more realistic (non-linear) bias model

Validation on mock catalogues (A) - 2M++

2M++ galaxy compilation :

  • Superset of {2MASS, SDSS-DR7, 6dFGRS-DR3} redshift surveys
  • Greater depth & higher sampling than IRAS survey
  • Sub-divided into 2 K-bands
  • Anisotropic selection and strong galaxy clustering

Validation on mock catalogues (B) - SDSSIII

  • Forward model: LPT + AP
  • Probing higher redshift range; AP distortion due

to cosmic expansion is much more informative

  • Tight constraints on Ωm

Current & future work

Current project:

  • Implemented forward model for AP distortion and cosmological parameter sampler
  • Tested on low-resolution mock (2M++, SDSS-III) data
  • Chain forward models: LPT + AP
  • Upgrade forward model to 2LPT and jointly infer mean density of tracers & bias also
  • Assess impact of redshift space distortions (RSDs) on cosmological constraints

(DKR, Lavaux & Wandelt 2018c, in prep.)

Future work:

  • Encode power spectrum inference in the block sampling scheme
  • Account for RSDs in the data model
  • Showcase application of ALTAIR on real data sets (e.g. SDSS-III):

→ Joint inference of 3D density fjeld, underlying power spectrum & cosmological parameters
