Ongoing and upcoming galaxy surveys are providing precision measurements of galaxy clustering. However a major obstacle in its cosmological application is the stochasticity in the galaxy bias. We explore whether the principal component…
Recent studies have shown that the cross-correlation coefficient between galaxies and dark matter is very close to unity on scales outside a few virial radii of galaxy halos, independent of the details of how galaxies populate dark matter…
Observations of galaxy clustering are made in redshift space, which results in distortions to the underlying isotropic distribution of galaxies. These redshift-space distortions (RSD) not only degrade important features of the matter…
