Observations of redshift-space distortions in spectroscopic galaxy surveys offer an attractive method for measuring the build-up of cosmological structure, which depends both on the expansion rate of the Universe and our theory of gravity.…

It was recently shown that the power spectrum in redshift space can be written as a sum of cross-power spectra between number weighted velocity moments. We investigate the properties of these power spectra for simulated galaxies and dark…
We analyze scale dependence of redshift space bias $b$ and $\beta \equiv \Omega_m^{0.6}/b$ in the context of the halo model. We show that linear bias is a good approximation only on large scales, for $k<0.1h$Mpc$^{-1}$. On intermediate…

The shapes of dark matter haloes are sensitive to both cosmology and baryon physics, but are difficult to measure observationally. A promising way to constrain them is to use the positions of satellite galaxies as tracers of the underlying…
