Summary

The big picture: constraining cosmological models

CMB analysis & modeling

By numerical issues, I mean the challenge of building a data-analysis pipeline that extracts the information from CMB data in practice, in a reasonable amount of CPU time, which is easier said than done given the huge size of upcoming data sets. You'll find my ideas for how do this on my pipeline page - here's a brief summary of what I've done. I'm interested in all steps of the pipeline, from experimental design to pixelization, mapmaking, map merging, foreground removal, power spectrum estimation with incomplete sky coverage and parameter estimation. I think it is useful to think of the entire pipeline in terms of information theory and data compression, as described in more detail here and here. Mapmaking is an important step in the pipeline whereby huge data sets can be reduced to a more manageable size without losing any cosmological information. We used such lossless techniques when making the Saskatoon, HACME, QMAP and QMASK maps, and I'm currently working on other data sets. For maps with less than about 10⁴ pixels, the brute-force approach to parameter estimation that I introduced for the 2 year COBE data and applied to the combined COBE and Tenerife data sets is feasible and gives minimal error bars, which is why it was subsequently adopted by the COBE team in their 4 year data analysis. Linear data compression techniques constitute a powerful tool for getting the same answer orders of magnitudes faster. They are also a great tool for spotting systematic errors, as we showed with the first and second flights of QMAP. For future megapixel maps, however, another data compression step will probably have to be added to make the pipeline computationally feasible: power spectrum estimation. This is complicated by incomplete sky coverage, but I have shown that the angular power spectrum C_l can be measured with minimal error bars with a simple quadratic method. I have applied it to the COBE and QMASK data, and extensions of this method have now been successfully applied to, e.g, the Boomerang and Maxima data sets and to a full-blown simulation of the megapixel MAP data set by Oh, Spergel & Hinshaw. This method works for arbitrary incomplete sky coverage, and good news for experimental design is that it gives window functions narrow enough to avoid blurring out features in the power spectrum as long as the sky patch covered is a few degrees wide in the narrowest direction.

LSS analysis & modeling

  Just like the CMB, galaxy redshift surveys are a potential powerful probe of cosmological parameters, and with a set of skeletons in the closet. Three of them have worried me a lot: bias, numerical problems and extinction. Many of my papers have tackled these real-world issues related to doing precision cosmology in practice, not merely in principle. The problem of bias refers to the fact that that the underlying matter distribution (which we would like to measure) can be different from the galaxy distribution (which we do measure). It has become increasingly clear that bias is (just like CMB foregrounds!) more complicated than some had assumed. The simplest assumption - that the galaxy fluctuations are simply proportional to the density fluctuations - is no longer tenable. This proportionality constant (called b) depends on scale and time. Moreover, at least on small scales, the relation is probably nonlinear

Just as for the CMB, there are serious numerical problems associated with analyzing these huge upcoming redhift surveys. Since the observational efforts going into large-scale structure data collection are so large, both for to galaxy surveys and CMB experiments, I feel that it is our duty as theorists to develop fairly optimal tools for the data analysis step, thereby making the most of the data. In this spirit, I've helped develop new techniques for estimating the power spectrum P(k) from galaxy surveys that include the complications of survey geometry, integral constraints and extinction errors and produce uncorrelated error bars. I've helped apply this to the UZC, PSCz (1 + 2) and 2dF redshift surveys and to the SDSS. I'm currently having fun working on several further SDSS projects.
