Abstract
Haruki Ebina discusses the marked power spectrum as a two-point approach to non-Gaussian density information, reducing the data-vector and covariance challenges of direct bispectrum analysis while retaining perturbative modelling. Recent work incorporates survey geometry, bringing applications to observations closer. Time permitting, he will also cover high-redshift DESI Run 2 cosmology and perturbative modelling of fast-radio-burst dispersion measures.
Samuel Goldstein presents new constraints on fundamental physics from the cosmic microwave background and large-scale structure: axions using Atacama Cosmology Telescope observations, primordial non-Gaussianity, multi-field inflation using DESI, and component-separated temperature, polarization, thermal Sunyaev–Zeldovich and kinetic Sunyaev–Zeldovich maps from early Simons Observatory data.
