Euclid projects and synergies with other surveys

Constraining gravity with synergies between radio and optical cosmological surveys,
arXiv:2210.05705.
SC, Carucci, Pettorino, Camera, Martinelli

  • First time that a forecast for DESI GCsp x 21cm-IM was proposed in MG theories.
  • Many possibilities to combine photo+spectro+IM (LIM), with different properties in systematics.
  • Rubin LSST, SKAO Radio-WL and GC probes
  • Co-leading KeyProject (with P. Carrilho) in study of non-linear power spectra in 3x2pt analysis. Running MCMC chains.
  • Large differences in baryonic models (large param space) Bacco/BCemu/HMcode
  • Preparations for DR1
    with CLOE.
  • Non-linear bias, BNT, ....

Combinations of SKAO with Euclid still to be performed. MEERKAT data?

Possible combinatons with Roman H\(\alpha\) and [OIII] tracers. Overlap and extension of redshift ranges offers interesting possibilities.

Wang et al. (2022)

  • Nancy Grace Roman Telescope offers interesting synergies with its multiband photometry and spectroscopy. High number density -> voids, filaments, higher-order statistics?
  • Kinematic lensing?
  • Euclid: Sensitivity to neutrino parameters.
  • Most detailed MCMC forecasts to date for Euclid GCsp + 3x2pt photo + Cluster number counts + Planck (stage-IV CMB). For neutrino mass and N_eff.
  • Using all the techniques learned in my previous papers.
  • Archidiacono, Lesgourgues, SC, et al (in preparation, under internal review).
  • For DR1: Use Class-1loop?
    Use proper baryonic emulators

Modified Gravity + Dark Energy + Exploratory research

Model-independent reconstruction of the linear anisotropic stress η
arXiv:1805.00027
Pinho, SC, Amendola

  • Model dependence in MG is a big problem
  • Parametrizations bring artiicial constraints
  • Use of SNIa for d_L, Cosmic Chronometers (for H0) and RSD+lensing ratios (similar to E_g statistics) yields constraints on gravitational potentials, independent from DM/DE w(z) assumptions.
  • A re-analysis of this with new data, using JAX-Cosmo (AD-tools) will simplify the problem considerably. Needs derivatives of binned data.
  • Testing Screened Modified Gravity; Brax, SC, Desmond, Elder, arXiv:2201.10817.
  • Linear and non-linear Modified Gravity forecasts with future surveys, arXiv:1703.01271. SC, Kunz, Martinelli,  Pettorino.
  • Forecasted and current constraints on parametrized MG, do not take screening correctly into account (only exists for specific scalar-tensor Lagrangians)
  • Using work by Brax et al, convert screening of potentials into mu/Sigma constraints and test/forecast with LSS surveys.

  • Higgs-dilaton cosmology: An inflation-dark-energy connection and forecasts for future galaxy surveys, arXiv:1712.04956.
    SC, Pauly, Rubio.

    Connections between inflation and Dark Energy (i.e. ns vs w0) (late-time correlated to early time)

  • Leverage recent power of CMB-XC-LSS (Euclid and others)

  • Study if GWs bring extra information (Einstein-Telescope/Aachen/Padova collaboration)
