KiDS-1000 methodology: Modelling and inference for joint weak gravitational lensing and spectroscopic galaxy clustering analysis

B. Joachimi et al.

Summary: This paper presents a methodology for joint cosmological analysis using weak gravitational lensing and galaxy clustering data from multiple surveys. The analysis incorporates cross-correlations, develops a hybrid model for non-linear scales, updates calibration procedures, and assesses signal contributions from astrophysical effects. The study also validates likelihood and goodness-of-fit statistics, introduces a new prior on the structure growth parameter, and proposes an alternative estimator for S-8 weak lensing constraints. Systematic effects are shown to bias S-8 by no more than 0.1 standard deviations, with expected improvements in S-8 constraints compared to previous analyses.

KiDS-1000 Cosmology: Multi-probe weak gravitational lensing and spectroscopic galaxy clustering constraints

Catherine Heymans et al.

Summary: This study combines weak gravitational lensing observations from KiDS-1000, redshift-space galaxy clustering observations from BOSS, and galaxy-galaxy lensing observations from overlapping surveys to constrain the structure growth parameter S-8, resulting in a discrepancy with the Planck observations by 8.3% relative to Planck. The systematic uncertainties identified through various analyses are incorporated into the cosmological analysis, revealing a tension in the matter fluctuation amplitude parameter, sigma(8).

Dark Energy Survey year 3 results: covariance modelling and its impact on parameter estimation and quality of fit

O. Friedrich et al.

Summary: Researchers described and tested a fiducial covariance matrix model for the combined two-point function analysis of the Dark Energy Survey Year 3 data set, validating the assumptions and approximations of the model. The study found that the model is robust and approximations have little impact on goodness of fit and parameter estimation. The dominant effect on parameter estimation arises from uncertainty in the exact parameters used to evaluate the covariance model.

Completed SDSS-IV extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: Cosmological implications from two decades of spectroscopic surveys at the Apache Point Observatory

Shadab Alam et al.

Summary: Based on the final measurements of clustering using galaxies, quasars, and Ly alpha forests from the SDSS lineage, this study provides comprehensive cosmological implications. The BAO data alone can rule out dark-energy-free models, and when combined with other measurements, significant improvements are made on constraining cosmological parameters within the ΛCDM model. The results indicate that various parameter extensions remain consistent with a ΛCDM model in a combined analysis, showing precision changes of less than 0.6% in key parameters.
