Investigating intrinsic alignments (IAs) of galaxy shapes is important not only to constrain cosmological parameters unbiasedly from gravitational lensing but also to extract cosmological information complimentary to galaxy clustering analysis. We derive simple and useful formulas for the various IA statistics, including the intrinsic ellipticity--ellipticity correlation, the gravitational shear--intrinsic ellipticity correlation, and the velocity-intrinsic ellipticity correlation functions. The angular dependence of each statistic is explicitly given, namely the angle between the line-of-sight direction and the separation vector of two points. It thus allows us to analyze anisotropies of baryon acoustic oscillations encoded in the IA statistics, and we can extract the maximum cosmological information using the Alcock-Pacyznski and redshift-space distortion effects. We also provide these formulas for the intrinsic ellipticities decomposed into E and B modes.

  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.
