We explore the potential of cross-correlating galaxies and peculiar velocities on non-linear scales to enhance cosmological constraints. Leveraging the \textsc{AbacusSummit} simulation suite and the halo occupation distribution (HOD)…

We compute the galaxy-galaxy correlation function of low-luminosity SDSS-DR7 galaxies $(-20 < M_{\rm r} - 5\log_{10}(h) < -18)$ inside cosmic voids identified in a volume limited sample of galaxies at $z=0.085$. To identify voids, we use…

We apply the marked correlation function test proposed by Armijo et al. (Paper I) to samples of luminous red galaxies (LRGs) from the final data release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) III. The test assigns a density-dependent mark…

The peculiar velocities of galaxies cause their redshift-space clustering to depend on the angle to the line-of-sight, providing a key test of gravitational physics on cosmological scales. These effects may be described using a multipole…
