Redshift-space clustering anisotropies caused by cosmic peculiar velocities provide a powerful probe to test the gravity theory on large scales. However, to extract unbiased physical constraints, the clustering pattern has to be modelled…
The equation governing the streaming of a quantity down its gradient superficially looks similar to the simple constant velocity advection equation. In fact, it is the same as an advection equation if there are no local extrema in the…

We examine the effect of redshift space distortions on the galaxy two-point correlation function $\xi(r_p,\pi)$ as a function of separations parallel ($r_p$) and perpendicular ($\pi$) to the line of sight. We find that the relative velocity…
Recent puzzling observations such as the $H_o$ tension, large-scale anisotropies, and massive disk galaxies at high redshifts have been challenging the standard cosmological model. While one possible explanation is that the standard model…
