Unbiasing cosmology for future LSS surveys by understanding baryonic effects at high wavenumber

Poster-In-person

Abstract

Accurate theoretical prediction of galaxy clustering on small scales is challenging due to the effects on baryons. These effects dramatically vary as a function of scale, increasing sharply with wavenumber $k$ as previously shown with simulations and, to some extent, measurements of galaxy clustering and weak-lensing shear. We investigate, using a combination of analytical and numerical tools, the accuracy with which baryonic effects will need to be understood in order not to bias the cosmological constraints from forthcoming surveys of large-scale structure.
