The nature of dark energy and the complete theory of gravity are two central questions currently facing cosmology. A vital tool for addressing them is the 3-point correlation function (3PCF), which probes deviations from a spatially random…

The multipole moments of the power spectrum of large scale structure, observed in redshift space, are calculated for a finite sample volume including the effects of both the linear velocity field and geometry. A variance calculation is also…

As in Gonzalez-Nuevo et al. 2017 and Bonavera et al. 2019, the high-z sub-millimetre galaxies can be used as background sample for gravitational lensing studies thanks to their magnification bias. In particular, as in Bonavera et al. 2020…
