We show that the spatial correlation of the intrinsic alignments (IAs) of galaxies, measured in galaxy redshift surveys, offers a precision route to improve the geometrical and dynamical constraints on cosmology. The IA has been treated as a contaminant against cosmological probes such as weak gravitational lensing experiments. However, the large-scale correlation of IAs is expected to follow the coherent large-scale matter inhomogeneities. Here, making use of its anisotropic nature, we show that the large-scale IA correlations help to improve the measurements of the geometric distances and growth of structure. In combination with the conventional galaxy clustering statistics, we find that constraints on equation-of-state parameter for dark energy and Hubble parameter can be tighter than those from the clustering statistics alone by a factor of more than 1.5.

  1. Improving cosmological constraints via galaxy intrinsic alignment in full-shape analysis

    astro-ph.CO 2024-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A Fisher forecast shows that adding full-shape intrinsic alignment information to galaxy clustering tightens cosmological constraints, particularly for dark energy and non-flat modified-gravity models.
