A typical galaxy survey geometry results in galaxy pairs of different separation and angle to the line-of-sight having different distributions in redshift and consequently a different effective redshift. However, clustering measurements are analysed assuming that the clustering is representative of that at a single effective redshift. We investigate the impact of variations in the galaxy-pair effective redshift on the large-scale clustering measured in galaxy surveys. We find that galaxy surveys spanning a large redshift range have different effective redshifts as a function of both pair separation and angle. Furthermore, when considering tracers whose clustering amplitude evolves strongly with redshift, this combination can result in an additional scale-dependent clustering anisotropy. We demonstrate the size of this effect on the eBOSS DR16 Quasar sample and show that, while the impact on monopole is negligible, neglecting this effect can result in a large-scale tilt of $sim 4%$ and $sim40%$ in quadrupole and hexadecapole, respectively. We discuss strategies to mitigate this effect when making measurements.

We study the effect of large-scale tidal fields on internal halo properties using a set of N-body simulations. We measure significant cross-correlations between large-scale tidal fields and several non-scalar halo properties: shapes, velocity dispers
ion, and angular momentum. Selection effects that couple to these non-scalar halo properties can produce anisotropic clustering even in real-space. We investigate the size of this effect and show that it can produce a non-zero quadrupole similar in size to the one generated by linear redshift-space distortions (RSD). Finally, we investigate the clustering properties of halos identified in redshift-space and find enormous deviations from the standard linear RSD model, again caused by anisotropic assembly bias. These effects could contaminate the values of cosmological parameters inferred from the observed redshift-space clustering of galaxies, groups, or 21cm emission from atomic hydrogen, if their selection depends on properties affected by halo assembly bias. We briefly discuss ways in which this effect can be measured in existing and future large-scale structure surveys.
We explore the degrees of freedom required to jointly fit projected and redshift-space clustering of galaxies selected in three bins of stellar mass from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Main Galaxy Sample (SDSS MGS) using a subhalo abundance matching (S
HAM) model. We employ emulators for relevant clustering statistics in order to facilitate our analysis, leading to large speed gains with minimal loss of accuracy. We are able to simultaneously fit the projected and redshift-space clustering of the two most massive galaxy samples that we consider with just two free parameters: scatter in stellar mass at fixed SHAM proxy and the dependence of the SHAM proxy on dark matter halo concentration. We find some evidence for models that include velocity bias, but including orphan galaxies improves our fits to the lower mass samples significantly. We also model the clustering signals of specific star formation rate (SSFR) selected samples using conditional abundance matching (CAM). We obtain acceptable fits to projected and redshift-space clustering as a function of SSFR and stellar mass using two CAM variants, although the fits are worse than for stellar mass-selected samples alone. By incorporating non-unity correlations between the CAM proxy and SSFR we are able to resolve previously identified discrepancies between CAM predictions and SDSS observations of the environmental dependence of quenching for isolated central galaxies.

Measurements of the redshift-space galaxy clustering have been a prolific source of cosmological information in recent years. Accurate covariance estimates are an essential step for the validation of galaxy clustering models of the redshift-space two
-point statistics. Usually, only a limited set of accurate N-body simulations is available. Thus, assessing the data covariance is not possible or only leads to a noisy estimate. Further, relying on simulated realisations of the survey data means that tests of the cosmology dependence of the covariance are expensive. With these points in mind, this work presents a simple theoretical model for the linear covariance of anisotropic galaxy clustering observations with synthetic catalogues. Considering the Legendre moments (`multipoles) of the two-point statistics and projections into wide bins of the line-of-sight parameter (`clustering wedges), we describe the modelling of the covariance for these anisotropic clustering measurements for galaxy samples with a trivial geometry in the case of a Gaussian approximation of the clustering likelihood. As main result of this paper, we give the explicit formulae for Fourier and configuration space covariance matrices. To validate our model, we create synthetic HOD galaxy catalogues by populating the haloes of an ensemble of large-volume N-body simulations. Using linear and non-linear input power spectra, we find very good agreement between the model predictions and the measurements on the synthetic catalogues in the quasi-linear regime.
We present two-point correlation function statistics of the mass and the halos in the chameleon $f(R)$ modified gravity scenario using a series of large volume N-body simulations. Three distinct variations of $f(R)$ are considered (F4, F5 and F6) and
compared to a fiducial $Lambda$CDM model in the redshift range $z in [0,1]$. We find that the matter clustering is indistinguishable for all models except for F4, which shows a significantly steeper slope. The ratio of the redshift- to real-space correlation function at scales $> 20 h^{-1} mathrm{Mpc}$ agrees with the linear General Relativity (GR) Kaiser formula for the viable $f(R)$ models considered. We consider three halo populations characterized by spatial abundances comparable to that of luminous red galaxies (LRGs) and galaxy clusters. The redshift-space halo correlation functions of F4 and F5 deviate significantly from $Lambda$CDM at intermediate and high redshift, as the $f(R)$ halo bias is smaller or equal to that of the $Lambda$CDM case. Finally we introduce a new model independent clustering statistic to distinguish $f(R)$ from GR: the relative halo clustering ratio -- $mathcal{R}$. The sampling required to adequately reduce the scatter in $mathcal{R}$ will be available with the advent of the next generation galaxy redshift surveys. This will foster a prospective avenue to obtain largely model-independent cosmological constraints on this class of modified gravity models.
The anisotropic galaxy clustering of large scale structure observed by the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey Data Release 11 is analyzed to probe the sum of neutrino mass in the small $m_ u < 1eV$ limit in which the early broadband shape determ
ined before the last scattering surface is immune from the variation of $m_ u$. The signature of $m_ u$ is imprinted on the altered shape of the power spectrum at later epoch, which provides an opportunity to access the non--trivial $m_ u$ through the measured anisotropic correlation function in redshift space (hereafter RSD instead of Redshift Space Distortion). The non--linear RSD corrections with massive neutrinos in the quasi linear regime are approximately estimated using one-loop order terms computed by tomographic linear solutions. We suggest a new approach to probe $m_ u$ simultaneously with all other distance measures and coherent growth functions, exploiting this deformation of the early broadband shape of the spectrum at later epoch. If the origin of cosmic acceleration is unknown, $m_ u$ is poorly determined after marginalising over all other observables. However, we find that the measured distances and coherent growth functions are minimally affected by the presence of mild neutrino mass. Although the standard model of cosmic acceleration is assumed to be the cosmological constant, the constraint on $m_ u$ is little improved. Interestingly, the measured CMB distance to the last scattering surface sharply slices the degeneracy between the matter content and $m_ u$, and the hidden $m_ u$ is excavated to be $m_ u=0.19^{+0.28}_{-0.17} eV$ which is different from massless neutrino more than 68% confidence.
