The popular halo model predicts that the power spectrum of the galaxy fluctuations is simply the sum of the large scale linear halo-halo power spectrum and the weighted power spectrum of the halo profile. Previous studies have derived halo…
The galaxy bias parameters are crucial for modeling the large-scale structure in cosmology, yet uncertainties in these parameters often degrade the precision of cosmological constraints. In this work, we investigate how different Halo…

We measure the clustering of low-redshift SDSS galaxies as a function of stellar mass ($10.0<\log(M_*/M_\odot)<11.5$) and specific star formation rate (sSFR) and compare the results to models of the galaxy--halo connection. We find that the…

Self-calibration techniques for analyzing galaxy cluster counts utilize the abundance and the clustering amplitude of dark matter halos. These properties simultaneously constrain cosmological parameters and the cluster observable-mass…
We present a calibration of halo assembly bias using the Separate Universe technique. Specifically, we measure the response of halo abundances at fixed mass and concentration to the presence of an infinite-wavelength initial perturbation.…
Most models for the connection between galaxies and their haloes ignore the possibility that galaxy properties may be correlated with halo properties other than mass, a phenomenon known as galaxy assembly bias. Yet, it is known that such…
Several measurements of QSO-galaxy correlations have reported signals much larger than predictions of magnification by large-scale structure. We find that the expected signal depends stronly on the properties of the foreground galaxy…
Assembly bias is the variation in the clustering of dark matter halos and galaxies that arises from correlations between the halo assembly history and the large-scale environment at fixed halo mass. In this work, we use the cosmological…
Assembly bias describes the finding that the clustering of dark matter haloes depends on halo formation time at fixed halo mass. In this paper, we analyse the influence of assembly bias on galaxy clustering using both semi-analytical models…

We describe an extension of the halo-based galaxy group-finding algorithm. We add freedom to the algorithm in order to more accurately determine which galaxies are central and which are satellites, and to provide unbiased estimates of halo…
Halo assembly bias is the secondary dependence of the clustering of dark-matter haloes on their assembly histories at fixed halo mass. This established dependence is expected to manifest itself on the clustering of the galaxy population, a…
