abstract

The non-Gaussian part of the covariance matrix of the galaxy power spectrum involves the connected four-point correlation in Fourier space, i.e. trispectrum. This paper introduces a fast method to compute the non-Gaussian part of the covariance matrix of the galaxy power spectrum multipoles in redshift space at tree-level standard perturbation theory. For the tree-level galaxy trispectrum, the angular integral between two wavevectors can be evaluated analytically by employing an FFTLog. The new implementation computes the non-Gaussian covariance of the power spectrum monopole, quadrupole, hexadecapole and their cross-covariance in $O(10)$ seconds, for an effectively arbitrary number of instances of cosmological and galaxy bias parameters and redshift, without any parallelization or acceleration. It is a large advantage over conventional numerical integration. We demonstrate that the computation of the covariance at $k = 0.005 - 0.4\,h\,\mathrm{Mpc}^{-1}$ gives results with $0.1 - 1\%$ accuracy. The efficient computation of the analytic covariance can be useful for future galaxy surveys, especially utilizing multi-tracer analysis.

  1. Assessing the large-scale angular clustering of UNIONS Lyman Break Galaxies via cross-correlations

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    UNIONS LBGs yield robust cross-power spectra with Planck CMB lensing and DESI/Quaia quasars at amplitudes matching theory, despite systematics that render the auto-spectrum unusable.

  2. Assessing the large-scale angular clustering of UNIONS Lyman Break Galaxies via cross-correlations

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    UNIONS Lyman-break galaxy auto-clustering is unusable at large scales due to imaging systematics, but LBG x CMB-lensing and LBG x quasar cross-spectra are measured robustly, with amplitudes consistent with predictions.

  3. The 3D clustering of Lyman Alpha Emitters measured with DESI

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    DESI LAE clustering measurements give a linear bias of 2.31-2.62 with constraints on radiative transfer effects and halo occupation from correlation functions and power spectra.

  4. The Linear Point Standard Ruler with DESI DR1 and DR2 Data

    astro-ph.CO 2026-01 conditional novelty 6.0

    Linear-point distance measurements on DESI DR1/DR2 galaxy samples agree with template-based BAO measurements once a cosmology-dependent smearing correction is applied.
