We use high-resolution N-body simulations to develop a new, flexible, empirical approach for measuring the growth rate from redshift-space distortions (RSD) in the 2-point galaxy correlation function. We quantify the systematic error in measuring the growth rate in a $1 , h^{-3}$ Gpc$^3$ volume over a range of redshifts, from the dark matter particle distribution and a range of halo-mass catalogues with a number density comparable to the latest large-volume galaxy surveys such as the WiggleZ Dark Energy Survey and the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS). Our simulations allow us to span halo masses with bias factors ranging from unity (probed by emission-line galaxies) to more massive haloes hosting Luminous Red Galaxies. We show that the measured growth rate is sensitive to the model adopted for the small-scale real-space correlation function, and in particular that the standard assumption of a power-law correlation function can result in a significant systematic error in the growth rate determination. We introduce a new, empirical fitting function that produces results with a lower (5-10%) amplitude of systematic error. We also introduce a new technique which permits the galaxy pairwise velocity distribution, the quantity which drives the non-linear growth of structure, to be measured as a non-parametric stepwise function. Our (model-independent) results agree well with an exponential pairwise velocity distribution, expected from theoretical considerations, and are consistent with direct measurements of halo velocity differences from the parent catalogues. In a companion paper we present the application of our new methodology to the WiggleZ Survey dataset.

The growth history of large-scale structure in the Universe is a powerful probe of the cosmological model, including the nature of dark energy. We study the growth rate of cosmic structure to redshift $z = 0.9$ using more than $162{,}000$ galaxy reds
hifts from the WiggleZ Dark Energy Survey. We divide the data into four redshift slices with effective redshifts $z = [0.2,0.4,0.6,0.76]$ and in each of the samples measure and model the 2-point galaxy correlation function in parallel and transverse directions to the line-of-sight. After simultaneously fitting for the galaxy bias factor we recover values for the cosmic growth rate which are consistent with our assumed $Lambda$CDM input cosmological model, with an accuracy of around 20% in each redshift slice. We investigate the sensitivity of our results to the details of the assumed model and the range of physical scales fitted, making close comparison with a set of N-body simulations for calibration. Our measurements are consistent with an independent power-spectrum analysis of a similar dataset, demonstrating that the results are not driven by systematic errors. We determine the pairwise velocity dispersion of the sample in a non-parametric manner, showing that it systematically increases with decreasing redshift, and investigate the Alcock-Paczynski effects of changing the assumed fiducial model on the results. Our techniques should prove useful for current and future galaxy surveys mapping the growth rate of structure using the 2-dimensional correlation function.
Two sources of geometric information are encoded in the galaxy power spectrum: the sound horizon at recombination and the horizon at matter-radiation equality. Analyzing the BOSS DR12 galaxy power spectra using perturbation theory with $Omega_m$ prio
rs from Pantheon supernovae but no priors on $Omega_b$, we obtain constraints on $H_0$ from the second scale, finding $H_0 = 65.1^{+3.0}_{-5.4},mathrm{km},mathrm{s}^{-1}mathrm{Mpc}^{-1}$; this differs from the best-fit of SH0ES at 95% confidence. Similar results are obtained if $Omega_m$ is constrained from uncalibrated BAO: $H_0 = 65.6^{+3.4}_{-5.5},mathrm{km},mathrm{s}^{-1}mathrm{Mpc}^{-1}$. Adding the analogous lensing results from Baxter & Sherwin 2020, the posterior shifts to $70.6^{+3.7}_{-5.0},mathrm{km},mathrm{s}^{-1}mathrm{Mpc}^{-1}$. Using mock data, Fisher analyses, and scale-cuts, we demonstrate that our constraints do not receive significant information from the sound horizon scale. Since many models resolve the $H_0$ controversy by adding new physics to alter the sound horizon, our measurements are a consistency test for standard cosmology before recombination. A simple forecast indicates that such constraints could reach $sigma_{H_0} simeq 1.6,mathrm{km},mathrm{s}^{-1}mathrm{Mpc}^{-1}$ in the era of Euclid.
Within the $Lambda$CDM model, measurements from recent Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) and weak lensing (WL) surveys have uncovered a $sim 3sigma$ disagreement in the inferred value of the parameter $S_8 equiv sigma_8sqrt{Omega_m/0.3}$, quantifying
the amplitude of late-time matter fluctuations. Before questioning whether the $S_8$ discrepancy calls for new physics, it is important to assess the view of measurements other than CMB and WL ones on the discrepancy. Here, we examine the role of measurements of the growth rate $f(z)$ in arbitrating the $S_8$ discrepancy, considering measurements of $fsigma_8(z)$ from Redshift-Space Distortions (RSD). Our baseline analysis combines RSD measurements with geometrical measurements from Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) and Type Ia Supernovae (SNeIa), given the key role of the latter in constraining $Omega_m$. From this combination and within the $Lambda$CDM model we find $S_8 = 0.762^{+0.030}_{-0.025}$, and quantify the agreement between RSD+BAO+SNeIa and textit{Planck} to be at the $2.2sigma$ level: the mild disagreement is therefore compatible with a statistical fluctuation. We discuss combinations of RSD measurements with other datasets, including the $E_G$ statistic. This combination increases the discrepancy with textit{Planck}, but we deem it significantly less robust. Our earlier results are stable against an extension where we allow the dark energy equation of state $w$ to vary. We conclude that, from the point of view of combined growth rate and geometrical measurements, there are hints, but no strong evidence yet, for the textit{Planck} $Lambda$CDM cosmology over-predicting the amplitude of matter fluctuations at redshifts $z lesssim 1$. From this perspective, it might therefore still be premature to claim the need for new physics from the $S_8$ discrepancy.
We present an analysis of the anisotropic redshift-space void-galaxy correlation in configuration space using the Sloan Digital Sky Survey extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (eBOSS) Data Release 16 luminous red galaxy (LRG) sample. This
sample consists of LRGs between redshifts 0.6 and 1.0, combined with the high redshift $z>0.6$ tail of the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey Data Release 12 CMASS sample. We use a reconstruction method to undo redshift-space distortion (RSD) effects from the galaxy field before applying a watershed void-finding algorithm to remove bias from the void selection. We then perform a joint fit to the multipole moments of the correlation function for the growth rate $fsigma_8$ and the geometrical distance ratio $D_M/D_H$, finding $fsigma_8(z_mathrm{eff})=0.356pm0.079$ and $D_M/D_H(z_mathrm{eff})=0.868pm0.017$ at the effective redshift $z_mathrm{eff}=0.69$ of the sample. The posterior parameter degeneracies are orthogonal to those from galaxy clustering analyses applied to the same data, and the constraint achieved on $D_M/D_H$ is significantly tighter. In combination with the consensus galaxy BAO and full-shape analyses of the same sample, we obtain $fsigma_8=0.447pm0.039$, $D_M/r_d=17.48pm0.23$ and $D_H/r_d=20.10pm0.34$. These values are in good agreement with the $Lambda$CDM model predictions and represent reductions in the uncertainties of $13%$, $23%$ and $28%$ respectively compared to the combined results from galaxy clustering, or an overall reduction of 55% in the allowed volume of parameter space.
We present the cosmological analysis of the configuration-space anisotropic clustering in the completed Sloan Digital Sky Survey IV (SDSS-IV) extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (eBOSS) DR16 galaxy sample. This sample consists of luminou
s red galaxies (LRGs) spanning the redshift range $0.6 < z < 1$, at an effective redshift of $z_{rm eff}=0.698$. It combines 174 816 eBOSS LRGs and 202 642 BOSS CMASS galaxies. We extract and model the baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) and redshift-space distortions (RSD) features from the galaxy two-point correlation function to infer geometrical and dynamical cosmological constraints. The adopted methodology is extensively tested on a set of realistic simulations. The correlations between the inferred parameters from the BAO and full-shape correlation function analyses are estimated. This allows us to derive joint constraints on the three cosmological parameter combinations: $D_M(z)/r_d$, $D_H(z)/r_d$ and $fsigma_8(z)$, where $D_M$ is the comoving angular diameter distance, $D_H$ is Hubble distance, $r_d$ is the comoving BAO scale, $f$ is the linear growth rate of structure, and $sigma_8$ is the amplitude of linear matter perturbations. After combining the results with those from the parallel power spectrum analysis of Gil-Marin et al. 2020, we obtain the constraints: $D_M/r_d = 17.65 pm 0.30$, $D_H/r_d = 19.77 pm 0.47$, $fsigma_8 = 0.473 pm 0.044$. These measurements are consistent with a flat $Lambda$CDM model with standard gravity.
