Galaxy cluster masses, rich with cosmological information, can be estimated from internal dark matter (DM) velocity dispersions, which in turn can be observationally inferred from satellite galaxy velocities. However, galaxies are biased…

Triumvirate is a Python/C++ package for measuring the three-point clustering statistics in large-scale structure (LSS) cosmological analyses. Given a catalogue of discrete particles (such as galaxies) with their spatial coordinates, it…
