Título: | Disconnected pseudo-C_\ell covariances for projected large-scale structure data |
Autor: | García-García, Carlos CSIC ORCID; Alonso, David CSIC ORCID ; Bellini, Emilio | Fecha de publicación: | 28-nov-2019 | Editor: | IOP Publishing | Citación: | Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics 11: 043 (2019) | Resumen: | The disconnected part of the power spectrum covariance matrix (also known as the >Gaussian> covariance) is the dominant contribution on large scales for galaxy clustering and weak lensing datasets. The presence of a complicated sky mask causes non-trivial correlations between different Fourier/harmonic modes, which must be accurately characterized in order to obtain reliable cosmological constraints. This is particularly relevant for galaxy survey data. Unfortunately, an exact calculation of these correlations involves O(\ell_{max}^6) operations that become computationally impractical very quickly. We present an implementation of approximate methods to estimate the Gaussian covariance matrix of power spectra involving spin-0 and spin-2 flat- and curved-sky fields, expanding on existing algorithms {developed in the context of CMB analyses}. These methods achieve an O(\ell_{max}^3) scaling, which makes the computation of the covariance matrix as fast as the computation of the power spectrum itself. We quantify the accuracy of these methods on large-scale structure and weak lensing data, making use of a large number of Gaussian but otherwise realistic simulations. We show that, using the approximate covariance matrix, we are able to recover the true posterior distribution of cosmological parameters to high accuracy. We also quantify the shortcomings of these methods, which become unreliable on the very largest scales, as well as for covariance matrix elements involving cosmic shear B modes. The algorithms presented here are implemented in the public code NaMaster https://github.com/LSSTDESC/NaMaster. | Descripción: | 29 pags., 15 figs. | Versión del editor: | http://dx.doi.org/10.1088/1475-7516/2019/11/043 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/207562 | DOI: | 10.1088/1475-7516/2019/11/043 | Identificadores: | doi: 10.1088/1475-7516/2019/11/043 issn: 1475-7516 |
