We use the observed anisotropic clustering of galaxies in the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) Data Release 11 CMASS sample to measure the linear growth rate of structure, the Hubble expansion rate and the comoving distance…
Accurate mock catalogues are essential for assessing systematics in the cosmological analysis of large galaxy surveys. Anisotropic two-point clustering measurements from the same simulation show some scatter for different lines of sight…
The multipole moments of the power spectrum of large scale structure, observed in redshift space, are calculated for a finite sample volume including the effects of both the linear velocity field and geometry. A variance calculation is also…

We analyse the anisotropic clustering of the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) CMASS Data Release 11 (DR11) sample, which consists of $690\,827$ galaxies in the redshift range $0.43 < z < 0.7$ and has a sky coverage of…
We present a clustering analysis of the BOSS DR12 CMASS galaxy sample, combining measurements of the galaxy two-point correlation function and density-split clustering down to a scale of $1\,h^{-1}{\rm Mpc}$. Our theoretical framework is…

The Cosmological Principle states that the universe is statistically isotropic and homogeneous on large length scales, typically $\gtrsim 70$Mpc. A detection of significant deviation would help us falsify the simplest models of inflation.…

We prepare the full sky radio galaxy map ($|b|>10^{\circ}$) using the north NVSS and south SUMSS galaxy catalogs and study the large scale multipoles anomalies. These galaxies are roughly at redshift $z \sim 0.8$ and therefore tracing the…
In this thesis, I analyse the 2D anisotropic Baryon Acoustic Oscillation (BAO) signal present in the final WiggleZ dataset. I utilise newly released covariance matrices from the WizCOLA simulations and follow well tested methodologies used…
Baryon acoustic oscillations (BAOs) imprinted in the galaxy power spectrum can be used as a standard ruler to determine angular diameter distance and Hubble parameter at high redshift galaxies. Combining redshift distortion effect which…
The anisotropy of the redshift space bispectrum depends upon the orientation of the triangles formed by three $\vec{k}$ modes with respect to the line of sight. For a triangle of fixed size ($k_1$) and shape ($\mu,t$), this orientation…
After calibrating the predictions of the Effective Field Theory of Large-Scale Structure against several sets of simulations, as well as implementing a new method to assert the scale cut of the theory without the use of any simulation, we…
The anisotropic galaxy clustering on large scales provides us with a unique opportunity to probe into the gravity theory through the redshift-space distortions (RSDs) and the Alcock-Paczynski effect. Using the multipole power spectra up to…
