We apply a new method to measure primordial non-Gaussianity, using the cross-correlation between galaxy surveys and the CMB lensing signal to measure galaxy bias on very large scales, where local-type primordial non-Gaussianity predicts a…

We constrain the primordial non-Gaussianity parameter of the local model f_{NL} using the skewness power spectrum associated with the two-to-one cumulant correlator of cosmic microwave background temperature anisotropies. This…

Recent work has shown that the local non-Gaussianity parameter f_NL induces a scale-dependent bias, whose amplitude is growing with scale. Here we first rederive this result within the context of peak-background split formalism and show…
