We present catalogues of cosmic voids identified in the distribution of Luminous Red Galaxies (LRGs) and Quasi Stellar Objects (QSOs) in the fourteenth data release (DR14) of the extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (eBOSS). We perform a multivariate analysis to assess the level of contamination in these catalogues by spurious Poisson underdensities. We find that the LRG void catalogue is largely free from contamination but that the QSO catalogue may be heavily contaminated. We analyse the multipoles of the void-galaxy cross-correlation function in these catalogues to obtain constraints on the growth rate of structure around voids. We find a value of $beta(z=0.703)=0.58^{+0.33}_{-0.28}$ for the LRG voids and $beta(z=1.53)=0.15^{+0.13}_{-0.12}$ for the QSO voids.

We identified voids in the completed VIMOS Public Extragalactic Redshift Survey (VIPERS), using an algorithm based on searching for empty spheres. We measured the cross-correlation between the centres of voids and the complete galaxy catalogue. The c
ross-correlation function exhibits a clear anisotropy in both VIPERS fields (W1 and W4), which is characteristic of linear redshift space distortions. By measuring the projected cross-correlation and then deprojecting it we are able to estimate the undistorted cross-correlation function. We propose that given a sufficiently well measured cross-correlation function one should be able to measure the linear growth rate of structure by applying a simple linear Gaussian streaming model for the redshift space distortions (RSD). Our study of voids in 306 mock galaxy catalogues mimicking the VIPERS fields would suggest that VIPERS is capable of measuring $beta$ with an error of around $25%$. Applying our method to the VIPERS data, we find a value for the redshift space distortion parameter, $beta = 0.423^{+0.104}_{-0.108}$, which given the bias of the galaxy population we use gives a linear growth rate of $fsigma_8 = 0.296^{+0.075}_{-0.078}$ at $z = 0.727$. These results are consistent with values observed in parallel VIPERS analysis using standard techniques.
We present constraints on local primordial non-Gaussianity (PNG), parametrized through $f^{rm loc}_{rm NL}$, using the Sloan Digital Sky Survey IV extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey Data Release 14 quasar sample. We measure and analyze
the anisotropic clustering of the quasars in Fourier space, testing for the scale-dependent bias introduced by primordial non-Gaussianity on large scales. We derive and employ a power spectrum estimator using optimal weights that account for the redshift evolution of the PNG signal. We find constraints of $-51<f^{rm loc}_{rm NL}<21$ at 95% confidence level. These are amont the tightest constraints from Large Scale Structure (LSS) data. Our redshift weighting improves the error bar by 15% in comparison to the unweighted case. If quasars have lower response to PNG, the constraint degrades to $-81<f^{rm loc}_{rm NL}<26$, with a 40% improvement over the standard approach. We forecast that the full eBOSS dataset could reach $sigma_{f^{rm loc}_{rm NL}}simeq 5text{-}8$ using optimal methods and full range of scales.
The intrinsic alignments of galaxies, i.e., the correlation between galaxy shapes and their environment, are a major source of contamination for weak gravitational lensing surveys. Most studies of intrinsic alignments have so far focused on measuring
and modelling the correlations of luminous red galaxies with galaxy positions or the filaments of the cosmic web. In this work, we investigate alignments around cosmic voids. We measure the intrinsic alignments of luminous red galaxies detected by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey around a sample of voids constructed from those same tracers and with radii in the ranges: $[20-30; 30-40; 40-50]$ $h^{-1}$ Mpc and in the redshift range $z=0.4-0.8$. We present fits to the measurements based on a linear model at large scales, and on a new model based on the void density profile inside the void and in its neighbourhood. We constrain the free scaling amplitude of our model at small scales, finding no significant alignment at $1sigma$ for either sample. We observe a deviation from the null hypothesis, at large scales, of 2$sigma$ for voids with radii between 20 and 30 $h^{-1}$ Mpc, and 1.5 $sigma$ for voids with radii between 30 and 40 $h^{-1}$ Mpc and constrain the amplitude of the model on these scales. We find no significant deviation at 1$sigma$ for larger voids. Our work is a first attempt at detecting intrinsic alignments around voids and provides a useful framework for their mitigation in future void lensing studies.
We study the evolution of the cross-correlation between voids and the mass density field - i.e. of void profiles. We show that approaches based on the spherical model alone miss an important contribution to the evolution on large scales of most inter
est to cosmology: they fail to capture the well-known fact that the large-scale bias factor of conserved tracers evolves. We also show that the operations of evolution and averaging do not commute, but this difference is only significant within about two effective radii. We show how to include a term which accounts for the evolution of bias, which is directly related to the fact that voids move. The void motions are approximately independent of void size, so they are more significant for smaller voids that are typically more numerous. This term also contributes to void-matter pairwise velocities: including it is necessary for modeling the typical outflow speeds around voids. It is, therefore, important for void redshift space distortions. Finally, we show that the excursion set peaks/troughs approach provides a useful, but not perfect framework for describing void profiles and their evolution.
Our goal is to see how density waves of different scale combine to form voids between galaxy systems of various scale. We perform numerical simulations of structure formation in cubes of size 100 and 256 Mpc/h, with resolutions 256^3 and 512^3 partic
les and cells. To understand the role of density perturbations of various scale we cut power spectra at scales from 8 to 128 Mpc/h, using in all series identical initial random realisations. We find that small haloes and short filaments form all over the simulation box, if perturbations only up to scale 8 Mpc/h are present. The phenomenon of large multi-scale voids in the cosmic web requires the presence of an extended spectrum of primordial density perturbations. The void phenomenon is due to the action of two processes: the synchronisation of density perturbations of medium and large scales, and the suppression of galaxy formation in low-density regions by the combined action of negative sections of medium- and large-scale density perturbations, so that their densities are less than the mean density, and thus during the evolution their densities decrease.
