We study synergies between three promising methods to measure $2<z<5$ large-scale structure in the next decade. Optical spectroscopic surveys are the most mature, but become increasingly difficult at $z>2$ and suffer from interloper…

We describe a method for computing the biases that systematic signals introduce in parameter estimation using a simple extension of the Fisher matrix formalism. This allows us to calculate the offset of the best fit parameters relative to…
Fisher Information Matrix methods are commonly used in cosmology to estimate the accuracy that cosmological parameters can be measured with a given experiment, and to optimise the design of experiments. However, the standard approach…
We consider the problem of fusing an arbitrary number of multiband, i.e., panchromatic, multispectral, or hyperspectral, images belonging to the same scene. We use the well-known forward observation and linear mixture models with Gaussian…

Galaxy redshift surveys are one of the pillars of the current standard cosmological model and remain a key tool in the experimental effort to understand the origin of cosmic acceleration. To this end, the next generation of surveys aim at…
Measurements of the growth rate of structure, $f\sigma_8$ in the low-redshift Universe allow stringent tests of the cosmological model. In this work, we provide new constraints on $f\sigma_{8}$ at an effective redshift of $z=0.03$ using the…
Weak gravitational lensing (WL) causes distortions of galaxy images and probes massive structures on large scales, allowing us to understand the late-time evolution of the Universe. One way to extract the cosmological information from WL is…
