Towards a non-Gaussian model of redshift space distortions (2020)
Journal Article

To understand the nature of the accelerated expansion of the Universe, we need to combine constraints on the expansion rate and growth of structure. The growth rate is usually extracted from 3D galaxy maps by exploiting the effects of peculiar motion... Read More about Towards a non-Gaussian model of redshift space distortions.
