abstract

A general formula for the correlation function in redshift space is derived in linear theory. The formula simultaneously includes wide-angle effects and cosmological distortions. The formula is applicable to any pair with arbitrary angle $\theta$ between lines of sight, and arbitrary redshifts, $z_1$, $z_2$, which are not necessarily small. The effects of the spatial curvature both on geometry and on fluctuation spectrum are properly taken into account, and thus our formula holds in a Friedman-Lema\^{\i}tre universe with arbitrary cosmological parameters $\Omega_0$ and $\lambda_0$. We illustrate the pattern of the resulting correlation function with several models, and also show that validity region of the conventional distant observer approximation is $\theta \le 10^\circ$.

  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. 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.

  3. Primordial non-Gaussianity -- the effects of relativistic and wide-angle corrections to the power spectrum

    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.

  4. Large-scale structures of the Universe: physics, phenomenology, statistics

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted

    Lecture series on the physics, phenomenology, and statistics of large-scale cosmic structure evolution and non-Gaussian predictions.
