Cosmological forecasts for future galaxy surveys with the linear point standard ruler: toward consistent bao analyses far from a fiducial cosmology

S Anselmi, GD Starkman, A Renzi - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
The linear point (LP) standard ruler was identified as the basis of a purely geometric method
for exploiting the baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO). The LP exploits the BAO feature …

Eigen-decomposition of covariance matrices: An application to the BAO linear point

J Lee, F Nikakhtar, A Paranjape, RK Sheth - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
The baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) feature in the two-point correlation function (TPCF) of
discrete tracers such as galaxies is an accurate standard ruler. The covariance matrix of the …

Smearing scale in Laguerre reconstructions of the correlation function

F Nikakhtar, RK Sheth, I Zehavi - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
To a good approximation, on large scales, the evolved two-point correlation function of
biased tracers is related to the initial one by a convolution with a smearing kernel. For …

The Stability of the BAO Linear Point under Modified Gravity

JJ Lee, B Fiorini, F Nikakhtar, RK Sheth - arXiv preprint arXiv:2406.09379, 2024 - arxiv.org
Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAOs) are crucial in cosmological analysis, providing a
standard ruler, as well as constraints on dark energy. In General Relativity models, the BAO …
