Cosmology with the SPHEREX All-Sky Spectral Survey
Mixed citation behavior. Most common role is background (67%).
abstract
SPHEREx (Spectro-Photometer for the History of the Universe, Epoch of Reionization, and Ices Explorer) ( http://spherex.caltech.edu ) is a proposed all-sky spectroscopic survey satellite designed to address all three science goals in NASA's Astrophysics Division: probe the origin and destiny of our Universe; explore whether planets around other stars could harbor life; and explore the origin and evolution of galaxies. SPHEREx will scan a series of Linear Variable Filters systematically across the entire sky. The SPHEREx data set will contain R=40 spectra fir 0.75$<\lambda<$4.1$\mu$m and R=150 spectra for 4.1$<\lambda<$4.8$\mu$m for every 6.2 arc second pixel over the entire-sky. In this paper, we detail the extra-galactic and cosmological studies SPHEREx will enable and present detailed systematic effect evaluations. We also outline the Ice and Galaxy Evolution Investigations.

Control variates with Zeldovich mocks reduce covariance matrix variance by up to an order of magnitude on large scales in DESI-like mocks.
A Newtonian Motion Gauge found via Einstein-Boltzmann solver maps linear dynamics with scale-dependent growth and GR corrections to Newtonian equations, enabling consistent nonlinear EFT calculations that are transformed back for accuracy in real and redshift space.
Multi-band EBL intensity mapping cross-correlated with cosmic shear and galaxy clustering recovers IHL, IGL, and EoR parameters with 10-35% smaller uncertainties than intensity mapping alone.
Conditioning CAMELS-SAM simulations on the stellar mass function or stellar-to-halo mass relation reduces uncertainty in b_phi by 88-97% for DESI emission line galaxy samples while remaining consistent across galaxy formation variations.
DESI DR2 and ACT DR6 data yield 17σ LRG-velocity, 8.3σ ELG-velocity, and 6.8σ QSO-velocity detections plus a 3.1σ velocity-velocity signal, producing f_NL^loc = 15.9_{-34.4}^{+34.6} from the velocity field.
Neglecting linear GR effects biases f_NL at 1–3σ for Euclid/SPHEREx in SFB forecasts; multi-tracer improves Doppler detection and weakly breaks b_ϕ f_NL degeneracy.
Constructs b_phi priors from HOD posteriors on DESI EDR data to recover unbiased f_NL even with assembly bias.
Generative models for cosmological field-level inference can reproduce posterior means and cross-correlations yet fail to capture correct uncertainty geometry when validated against HMC reference samples.
Optimal transport reconstruction of initial conditions from biased tracers in local PNG fields improves when a realistic model for the scale-dependent clustering of the unobserved dust is included.
Bursty high-redshift star formation boosts LIM shot-noise by line-dependent factors B_λ of 2.5-7 at z~6 via convolution of SFR correlations with SPS kernels, improving auto-spectrum detectability while degrading clustering measurements.
A heuristic power-spectrum rescaling applied to DESI DR1 BAO data plus CMB acoustic scale anchor yields H0 values of 69.2 to 70.3 km/s/Mpc at sub-2% precision across three independent late-time datasets.
Kinetic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich reconstruction from WISExSuperCOSMOS and unWISE galaxies with Planck data yields tight upper limits on bulk velocities consistent with LambdaCDM out to 2000 h^{-1} Mpc while showing tension with a quasar dipole interpretation.
A new SPHEREx-based spectral library doubles the sample of ultracool dwarfs with 0.75-5.0 micron spectrophotometry to 7402 objects and provides automated typing tools.
Mid-IR search of NEOWISE yields 10 TDEs above 3e43 erg/s with volumetric rate 1.2e-10 Mpc^-3 yr^-1, showing suppression at high luminosity explained by reduced TDE rate for larger black holes.
Subsampling and averaging stabilizes Delaunay and Voronoi tessellation void statistics (VSF, VTCF, VPS), reducing scatters attributed to tessellation instabilities and boosting BAO signal-to-noise and cosmological constraining power.
A light axion spectator induces post-inflation tachyonic phases that produce a nearly scale-invariant boost to the curvature power spectrum and alter key inflationary observables in a largely potential-independent manner.
Void x CMB lensing from Roman mocks is robust to catalog construction choices and forecasts S/N of 13-31 sigma with Planck, SO, and CMB-S4-like data for 2D and 3D voids.
Validates redshift-space power spectrum and bispectrum analysis on Abacus-PNG mocks to recover unbiased f_NL constraints for Euclid spectroscopic sample.
Tensor perturbations from FOPT and domain-wall sources are claimed to induce second-order scalar perturbations large enough to form primordial black holes, potentially all of the dark matter.
Cross-correlation of DESI DR1 quasars with Planck PR4 CMB lensing constrains local f_NL to 2^{+28}_{-34} (p=1.6) or 6^{+20}_{-24} (p=1.0), tightening previous limits by 35%.
LIGER4GAL finds that omitting the finger-of-the-observer effect biases f_nl by more than 1 sigma in 40% of realizations for k_min=0.0015 h/Mpc scales.
Bayesian tension analysis shows Planck CMB dipole in >5σ disagreement with CatWISE infrared sources and moderate-to-strong disagreement with radio surveys NVSS and RACS, with evidence for shared astrophysical signals in some catalogs.
A machine learning model trained on IllustrisTNG predicts galaxy baryonic properties from dark matter subhalo features, producing a mock catalog for the A-SPEC survey that matches observed galaxy clustering.
