Starting from first principles, we derive the fundamental equations that relate the $n$-point correlation functions in real and redshift space. Our result generalises the so-called `streaming model' to higher-order statistics: the full…
We develop a model for the redshift-space correlation function, valid for both dark matter particles and halos on scales $>5\,h^{-1}$Mpc. In its simplest formulation, the model requires the knowledge of the first three moments of the…
A simple model of how objects of different masses stream towards each other as they cluster gravitationally is described. The model shows how the mean streaming velocity of dark matter particles is related to the motions of the parent dark…

Redshift-space distortions present a significant challenge in building models for the three-point correlation function (3PCF). We compare two possible lines of attack: the streaming model and standard perturbation theory (SPT). The two…

Pairwise velocities of the large-scale structure encode valuable information about the growth of structure. They can be observed indirectly through redshift-space distortions and the kinetic Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect. Whether it is Gaussian…
We study the probability distribution function (PDF) of relative velocity between two different dark matter halos (i.e. pairwise velocity) with a set of high-resolution cosmological $N$-body simulations. We investigate the pairwise velocity…
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.…

Understanding the formation and evolution of large-scale structure is a central problem in cosmology and enables precise tests of General Relativity on cosmological scales and constraints on dark energy. An essential ingredient is an…
We show that in a hierarchical clustering model the low-order statistics of the density and the peculiar velocity fields can all be modelled semianalytically for a given cosmology and an initial density perturbation power spectrum $P(k)$.…
Accurate modelling of redshift-space distortions (RSD) is challenging in the non-linear regime for two-point statistics e.g. the two-point correlation function (2PCF). We take a different perspective to split the galaxy density field…
