Machine learning unveils the linear matter power spectrum of modified gravity

JB Orjuela-Quintana, S Nesseris, D Sapone - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS

theoretical cosmology. Although for a fixed redshift this can be numerically computed very …

Precise cosmological constraints from BOSS galaxy clustering with a simulation-based emulator of the wavelet scattering transform

G Valogiannis, S Yuan, C Dvorkin - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
We perform a reanalysis of the BOSS CMASS DR12 galaxy dataset using a simulation-
based emulator for the wavelet scattering transform (WST) coefficients. Moving beyond our …

What can galaxy shapes tell us about physics beyond the standard model?

OHE Philcox, MJ König, S Alexander, DN Spergel - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
The shapes of galaxies trace scalar physics in the late-Universe through the large-scale
gravitational potential. Are they also sensitive to higher-spin physics? We present a general …

Bayesian mass mapping with weak lensing data using karmma: Validation with simulations and application to Dark Energy Survey year 3 data

SS Boruah, P Fiedorowicz, E Rozo - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
We update the field-level inference code karmma to enable tomographic forward-modeling
of shear maps. Our code assumes a log-normal prior on the convergence field, and properly …
