An Exploration of Clustering Statistics and Tidal Alignments in the Context of Group Catalogues
(University of Waterloo, 2021-10-04)The use of three-dimensional galaxy surveys and large cosmological simulations of the galaxy distribution has advanced our understanding of large-scale structure over the last few decades. At the forefront of this are ... -
Investigating future galaxy surveys of cosmological large-scale structure
(University of Waterloo, 2022-09-26)My thesis consists of the two following projects: 1-Testing Large-Scale Structure Measurements against Fisher Matrix Analysis (Chapter 2): We compare Baryonic Acoustic Oscillation (BAO) and Redshift Space Distortion ... -
Optimizing Small-scale Redshift Space Distortion Measurements in eBOSS for Cosmological Inference
(University of Waterloo, 2023-09-21)Modern cosmological datasets have grown substantially in size and the precision of their measurements. While the improvement has had a beneficial impact on our understanding of the cosmological model, it requires equal ... -
Precision Cosmology Using Voids
(University of Waterloo, 2023-08-04)In the late 1990s, the discovery that the expansion rate of the Universe was accelerating was a decisive moment for cosmology. The last 25 years have seen the consolidation of this component, called dark energy, which ... -
Thinking outside the box; fast error estimation for next generation galaxy surveys
(University of Waterloo, 2024-01-29)Since the discovery of the accelerated expansion of the universe in the late 90s, the flat $\Lambda$CDM model has reigned as the best explanation for the cosmological phenomena we have observed. In spite of over two decades ...
