We report the measurement of the three-point correlation function (3PCF) of galaxies for the Las Campanas Redshift Survey (LCRS). We have not only measured the 3PCF in redshift space but also developed a method to measure the projected 3PCF…

We study joint compression and detection in distributed sensing systems motivated by emerging applications such as IoT-based localization. Two spatially separated sensors observe noisy signals and can exchange only a $k$-bit message over a…
Galaxy bias, the unknown relationship between the clustering of galaxies and the underlying dark matter density field is a major hurdle for cosmological inference from large-scale structure. While traditional analyses focus on the absolute…
Building accurate and flexible galaxy-halo connection models is crucial in modeling galaxy clustering on non-linear scales. Recent studies have found that halo concentration by itself cannot capture the full galaxy assembly bias effect and…
We present the analytical formulas, derived based on the halo model, to compute the cross-correlation between the thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect and the distribution of galaxy clusters. By binning the clusters according to their…
