Cosmological constraints from galaxy clustering
Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter (peer-reviewed) › peer-review
In this manuscript I introduce the mathematics and physics that underpins recent work using the clustering of galaxies to derive cosmological model constraints. I start by describing the basic concepts, and gradually move on to some of the complexities involved in analysing galaxy redshift surveys, focusing on the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS) and the Sloan Digital Sky survey (SDSS). Diffculties within such an analysis, particularly dealing with redshift space distortions and galaxy bias are highlighted. I then describe current observations of the CMB fluctuation power spectrum, and consider the importance of measurements of the clustering of galaxies in light of recent experiments. Finally, I provide an example joint analysis of the latest CMB and large-scale structure data, leading to a set of parameter constraints
