Non-Gaussian Expansion of Minkowski Tensors

Non-Gaussian Expansion of Minkowski Tensors in Redshift Space

Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: This paper focuses on extending the use of Minkowski Tensors to analyze anisotropic signals in cosmological data, focusing on those introduced by redshift space distortion. We derive the ensemble average of the two translation-invariant, rank-2 Minkowski Tensors ($W_1^{0,2}$ and $W_2^{0,2}$) for a matter density field that is perturbatively non-Gaussian in redshift space. This is achieved through the Edgeworth expansion of the joint probability density...
