We present the first $\Lambda$CDM cosmological analysis performed on a galaxy survey using marked power spectra. The marked power spectrum is the two-point function of a marked field, where galaxies are weighted by a function that depends…

Cosmology from weak gravitational lensing has been limited by astrophysical uncertainties in baryonic feedback and intrinsic alignments. By calibrating these effects using external data, we recover non-linear information, achieving a 2%…

We explore the joint weak lensing and galaxy clustering analysis from the photometric survey operated by the China Space Station Telescope (CSST), and study the strength of the cosmological constraints. We employ a high-resolution…
