In the present work, we extend the classic halo model for the large-scale matter distribution including a triaxial model for the halo profiles and their alignments. In particular, we derive general expressions for the halo-matter cross…
The question we address in this paper is the determination of the correlation properties of the dark matter halos appearing in cosmic density fields once they underwent a strongly nonlinear evolution induced by gravitational dynamics.…
Geometrical model of structure of the universe is examined to obtain analytical expression for the two points nonlinear correlation function. According to the model the objects (galaxies) are concentrated into two types of structure…
Cross-correlations between datasets are used in many different contexts in cosmological analyses. Recently, $k$-Nearest Neighbor Cumulative Distribution Functions ($k{\rm NN}$-${\rm CDF}$) were shown to be sensitive probes of cosmological…
The study of higher-order statistics, particularly three-point statistics, of the Large Scale Structure (LSS) of the Universe provides us with unique information on the biasing relation between luminous and dark matter and on deviations…
The two-point correlation function (2PCF) is the most widely used tool for quantifying the spatial distribution of galaxies. Since the distribution of galaxies is determined by galaxy formation physics as well as the underlying cosmology,…
Using the Ly$\alpha$ mass assignment scheme (LyMAS), we make theoretical predictions for the 3-dimensional 3-point correlation function (3PCF) of the Ly$\alpha$ forest at redshift $z=2.3$. We bootstrap results from the (100 $h^{-1} \mbox{…
We provide a systematic study of the position-dependent correlation function in weak lensing convergence maps and its relation to the squeezed limit of the three-point correlation function (3PCF) using state-of-the-art numerical…
We construct an analytical model of Population III star formation that connects the cosmological radiation background to sub-AU protostellar disk fragmentation, a dynamic range inaccessible to any single simulation. Our approach is based on…
Widefield surveys of the sky probe many clustered scalar fields -- such as galaxy counts, lensing potential, gas pressure, etc. -- that are sensitive to different cosmological and astrophysical processes. Our ability to constrain such…
We investigate the three-point functions of the weak lensing cosmic shear, using both analytic methods and numerical results from N-body simulations. The analytic model, an isolated dark matter halo with a powerlaw profile chosen to fit the…
Thanks to the recent availability of large surveys, there has been renewed interest in third-order correlation statistics. Measures of third-order clustering are sensitive to the structure of filaments and voids in the universe and are…
We present a method that uses observations of galaxies to simultaneously constrain cosmological parameters and the galaxy-dark matter connection (aka halo occupation statistics). The latter describes how galaxies are distributed over dark…
Galaxy formation inside dark matter halos, as well as the halo formation itself, can be affected by large-scale environments. Evaluating the imprints of environmental effects on galaxy clustering is crucial for precise cosmological…
We developed a modification to the calculation of the two-point correlation function commonly used in the analysis of large scale structure in cosmology. An estimator of the two-point correlation function is constructed by contrasting the…
Assuming a LCDM universe in a single-field inflationary scenario, we compute the three-point correlation function of the observed matter density fluctuation in the squeezed triangular configuration, accounting for all the relativistic…
We have investigated the relation between the two-point spatial correlation function and the density profile of the dark matter halo in the strongly non-linear regime. It is well known that when the density fluctuation grows into dark…
We present the integrated 3-point shear correlation function $i\zeta_{\pm}$ -- a higher-order statistic of the cosmic shear field -- which can be directly estimated in wide-area weak lensing surveys without measuring the full 3-point shear…
We present a new algorithm to rapidly compute the two-point (2PCF), three-point (3PCF) and n-point (n-PCF) correlation functions in roughly O(N log N) time for N particles, instead of O(N^n) as required by brute force approaches. The…
We present astrophysical applications of the recently popular halo model to describe large scale structure clustering. We formulate the power spectrum, bispectrum and trispectrum of dark matter density field in terms of correlations within…
