The Aemulus Project VI: Emulation of beyond-standard galaxy clustering statistics to improve cosmological constraints

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors use the Aemulus suite of cosmological N -body simulations to construct Gaussian process emulators of galaxy clustering statistics at small scales ( 0 . 1 − 50 h − 1 Mpc ) in order to constrain cosmologically and galaxy bias parameters.

Using Cumulative Number Densities to Compare Galaxies across Cosmic Time

TL;DR: The authors used abundance matching to estimate the median change in number density with redshift and provided a simple fit (+0.16 dex per unit Delta z) for progenitors of z = 0 galaxies.

Cluster Cosmology Without Cluster Finding

TL;DR: In this paper , a fiducial spectroscopic and stellar mass complete sample of galaxies drawn from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Survey (DESI) was used to estimate the cosmological constraining power of super-massive galaxies.

Simultaneous Estimation of Large-Scale Structure and Milky Way Dust Extinction from Galaxy Surveys

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the possibility of estimating both the dust extinction and large-scale structure from a single photometric galaxy survey, making use of the predictable manner in which Milky Way dust affects the measured brightness and colors of galaxies in a given sky location in several redshift bins.
