Determining accurate redshift distributions for very large samples of objects has become increasingly important in cosmology. We investigate the impact of extending cross-correlation based redshift distribution recovery methods to include small scale clustering information. The major concern in such work is the ability to disentangle the amplitude of the underlying redshift distribution from the influence of evolving galaxy bias. Using multiple simulations covering a variety of galaxy bias evolution scenarios, we demonstrate reliable redshift recoveries using linear clustering assumptions well into the non-linear regime for redshift distributions of narrow redshift width. Including information from intermediate physical scales balances the increased information available from clustering and the residual bias incurred from relaxing of linear constraints. We discuss how breaking a broad sample into tomographic bins can improve estimates of the redshift distribution, and present a simple bias removal technique using clustering information from the spectroscopic sample alone.
The search for detection of gamma-rays from distant AGNs by Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs) is challenging at high redshifts, not only because of lower flux due to the distance of the source, but also due to the consequent absorption
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 (auto) cluste
An understanding of astrophysical feedback is important for constraining models of galaxy formation and for extracting cosmological information from current and future weak lensing surveys. The thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect, quantified via the Com
We present calibrations of the redshift distributions of redMaGiC galaxies in the Dark Energy Survey Year 1 (DES Y1) and Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) DR8 data. These results determine the priors of the redshift distribution of redMaGiC galaxies, w
We explore the problem of view synthesis from a narrow baseline pair of images, and focus on generating high-quality view extrapolations with plausible disocclusions. Our method builds upon prior work in predicting a multiplane image (MPI), which rep
