Cosmological tests based on the statistical analysis of galaxy distributions usually depend on source evolution. An exception is the Alcock-Paczynski (AP) test, which is based on the changing ratio of angular to spatial/redshift size of…

The Alcock-Paczynski (AP) effect is a geometrical distortion in three-dimensional observed galaxy statistics. In anticipation of precision cosmology based on ongoing and upcoming all-sky galaxy surveys, we build an efficient method to…

Accurate modelling of redshift-space distortions (RSD) is challenging in the non-linear regime for two-point statistics e.g. the two-point correlation function (2PCF). We take a different perspective to split the galaxy density field…

We forecast and optimize the cosmological power of various weak-lensing aperture mass ($M_{\rm ap}$) map statistics for future cosmic shear surveys, including peaks, voids, and the full distribution of pixels (1D $M_{\rm ap}$). These…
