Redshift-space distortions (RSD) generically affect any spatially-dependent observable that is mapped using redshift information. The effect on the observed clustering of galaxies is the primary example of this. This paper is devoted to another example: the effect of RSD on the apparent peculiar motions of tracers as inferred from their positions in redshift space (i.e. the observed distance). Our theoretical study is motivated by practical considerations, mainly, the direct estimation of the velocity power spectrum, which is preferably carried out using the tracers redshift-space position (so as to avoid uncertainties in distance measurements). We formulate the redshift-space velocity field and show that RSD enters as a higher-order effect. Physically, this effect may be interpreted as a dissipative correction to the usual perfect-fluid description of dark matter. We show that the effect on the power spectrum is a damping on relatively large, quasilinear scales ($k>0.01,h,{rm Mpc}^{-1}$), as was observed, though unexplained, in $N$-body simulations elsewhere. This paper presents two power spectrum models for the the peculiar velocity field in redshift space, both of which can be considered velocity analogues of existing clustering models. In particular, we show that the Finger-of-God effect, while also present in the velocity field, cannot be entirely blamed for the observed damping in simulations. Our work provides some of the missing modelling ingredients required for a density--velocity multi-tracer analysis, which has been proposed for upcoming redshift surveys.

We develop a maximum likelihood based method of reconstructing band powers of the density and velocity power spectra at each wavenumber bins from the measured clustering features of galaxies in redshift space, including marginalization over uncertain
ties inherent in the Fingers-of-God (FoG) effect. The reconstruction can be done assuming that the density and velocity power spectra depend on the redshift-space power spectrum having different angular modulations of mu with mu^{2n} (n=0,1,2) and that the model FoG effect is given as a multiplicative function in the redshift-space spectrum. By using N-body simulations and the halo catalogs, we test our method by comparing the reconstructed power spectra with the simulations. For the spectrum of mu^0 or equivalently the density power spectrum P_dd(k), our method recovers the amplitudes to a few percent accuracies up to k=0.3 h/Mpc for both dark matter and halos. For the power spectrum of mu^2, which is equivalent to the density-velocity spectrum P_dv(k) in the linear regime, our method can recover the input power spectrum for dark matter up to k=0.2 h/Mpc and at both z=0 and 1, if using the adequate FoG model. However, for the halo spectrum, the reconstructed spectrum shows greater amplitudes than the simulation P_dv(k). We argue that the disagreement is ascribed to nonlinearity effect that arises from the cross-bispectra of density and velocity perturbations. Using the perturbation theory, we derive the nonlinear correction term, and find that the leading-order correction term is proportional to mu^2 and increases the mu^2-power spectrum amplitudes at larger k, at lower redshifts and for more massive halos. We find that adding the nonlinearity correction term to the simulation P_dv(k) can fairly well reproduce the reconstructed P_dv(k) for halos up to k~0.2 h/Mpc.
Future high spectroscopic resolution galaxy surveys will observe galaxies with nearly full-sky footprints. Modeling the galaxy clustering for these surveys, therefore, must include the wide-angle effect with narrow redshift binning. In particular, wh
en the redshift-bin size is comparable to the typical peculiar velocity field, the nonlinear redshift-space distortion (RSD) effect becomes important. A naive projection of the Fourier-space RSD model to spherical harmonic space leads to diverging expressions. In this paper we present a general formalism of projecting the higher-order RSD terms into spherical harmonic space. We show that the nonlinear RSD effect, including the fingers-of-God (FoG), can be entirely attributed to a modification of the radial window function. We find that while linear RSD enhances the harmonic-space power spectrum, unlike the three-dimensional case, the enhancement decreases on small angular-scales. The fingers-of-God suppress the angular power spectrum on all transverse scales if the bin size is smaller than $Delta r lesssim pi sigma_u$; for example, the radial bin sizes corresponding to a spectral resolution $R=lambda/Delta lambda$ of a few hundred satisfy the condition. We also provide the flat-sky approximation which reproduces the full calculation to sub-percent accuracy.
We constrain the velocity power spectrum shape parameter $Gamma$ in linear theory using the nine bulk-flow and shear moments estimated from four recent peculiar velocity surveys. For each survey, a likelihood function for $Gamma$ was found after marg
inalizing over the power spectrum amplitude $sigma_8Omega_m^{0.6}$ using constraints obtained from comparisons between redshift surveys and peculiar velocity data. In order to maximize the accuracy of our analyses, the velocity noise $sigma_*$ was estimated directly for each survey. A statistical analysis of the differences between the values of the moments estimated from different surveys showed consistency with theoretical predictions, suggesting that all the surveys investigated reflect the same large scale flows. The peculiar velocity surveys were combined into a composite survey yielding the constraint $Gamma=0.13^{+0.09}_{-0.05}$. This value is lower than, but consistent with, values obtained using redshift surveys and CMB data.
We develop a framework to compute the redshift space power spectrum (PS), with kernels beyond Einstein-de Sitter (EdS), that can be applied to a wide variety of generalized cosmologies. We build upon a formalism that was recently employed for standar
d cosmology in Chen, Vlah & White (2020), and utilize an expansion of the density-weighted velocity moment generating function that explicitly separates the magnitude of the $k$-modes and their angle to the line-of-sight direction dependencies. We compute the PS for matter and biased tracers to 1-loop Perturbation Theory (PT) and show that the expansion has a correct infrared and ultraviolet behavior, free of unwanted divergences. We also add Effective Field Theory (EFT) counterterms, necessary to account for small-scale contributions to PT, and employ an IR-resummation prescription to properly model the smearing of the BAO due to large scale bulk flows within Standard-PT. To demonstrate the applicability of our formalism, we apply it on the $Lambda$CDM and the Hu-Sawicki $f(R)$ models, and compare our numerical results against the ELEPHANT suite of $N$-body simulations, finding very good agreement up to $k= 0.27, text{Mpc}^{-1} h$ at $z=0.5$ for the first three non-vanishing Legendre multipoles of the PS. To our knowledge, the model presented in this work is the most accurate theoretical EFT-PT for modified gravity to date, being the only one that accounts for beyond linear local biasing in redshift-space. Hence, we argue our RSD modeling is a promising tool to construct theoretical templates in order to test deviations from $Lambda$CDM using real data obtained from the next stage of cosmological surveys such as DESI and LSST.
We study an efficient way to enhance the measurability of the galaxy density and/or velocity power spectrum in redshift space. It is based on the angular decomposition with the Tripolar spherical harmonic (TripoSH) basis and applicable even to galaxy
distributions in wide-angle galaxy surveys. While nontrivial multipole-mode mixings are inevitable in the covariance of the Legendre decomposition coefficient commonly used in the small-angle power spectrum analysis, our analytic computation of the covariance of the TripoSH decomposition coefficient shows that such mixings are absent by virtue of high separability of the TripoSH basis, yielding the minimum variance. Via the simple signal-to-noise ratio assessment, we confirm that the detectability improvement by the TripoSH decomposition approach becomes more significant at higher multipole modes, and, e.g., the hexadecapole of the density power spectrum has two orders of magnitude improvement. The TripoSH decomposition approach is expected to be applied to not only currently available survey data but also forthcoming wide-angle one, and to bring about something new or much more accurate cosmological information.
