Title: Clustering-based Redshift estimation


Abstract

The clustering of galaxies has emerged as a powerful way to estimate the redshift distribution of a sample. I will briefly review how we can get access to redshift information from the crosscorrelation function. Then, using the MICE2 simulation I will present how we can get individual redshifts for each galaxy as well as the corresponding accuracy.

I have been a postdoctoral researcher at CEA Saclay since October 2015. I am currently working on the DEDALE project and the Euclid mission with Jean-Luc Starck.

My background is in optical detection of clusters of galaxies and photometric redshift estimation. I am now branching out into the field of PSF estimation using sparse signal processing techniques.
