abstract

We examine the computation of wide-angle corrections to the galaxy power spectrum including redshift-space distortions and relativistic Doppler corrections, and also including multiple tracers with differing clustering, magnification and evolution biases. We show that the inclusion of the relativistic Doppler contribution, as well as radial derivative terms, are crucial for a consistent wide-angle expansion for large-scale surveys, both in the single and multi-tracer cases. We also give for the first time the wide-angle cross-power spectrum associated with the Doppler magnification-galaxy cross correlation, which has been shown to be a new way to test general relativity. In the full-sky power spectrum, the wide-angle expansion allows integrals over products of spherical Bessel functions to be computed analytically as distributional functions, which are then relatively simple to integrate over. We give for the first time a complete discussion and new derivation of the finite part of the divergent integrals of the form $\int_{0}^{\infty} \mathrm{d} r r^{n} j_{\ell}(k r) j_{\ell^{\prime}}(q r)$, which are necessary to compute the wide-angle corrections when a general window function is included. This facilitates a novel method for integrating a general analytic function against a pair of spherical Bessel functions.

  1. Optimal and exact wide-angle power spectrum estimation

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    For finite-rank signals the optimal wide-angle estimator is the two-ℓ Yamamoto form, whose exact window is a finite FFT-computable sum that improves ultra-large-scale SNR by O(1).

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

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    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 observer power spectrum for lightcone statistics, integrated relativistic observables and wide angle effects

    astro-ph.CO 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Introduces the observer power spectrum as a diagonal Fourier-space statistic for lightcone observables by transforming over observer positions rather than sources.

    Integrated relativistic (lensing, ISW, time-delay) corrections to power-spectrum multipoles bias predicted f_NL constraints by ~3σ (Euclid) and ~20σ (MegaMapper); a bright-faint split partly offsets the luminosity-fun...

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

    Including the quadrupole in power-spectrum forecasts improves f_NL precision by 45% to 63%, while neglected relativistic and wide-angle corrections shift f_NL by up to 0.6 sigma for MegaMapper.
