We present the complete expression for the next-to-leading (1-loop) order galaxy power spectrum and the leading-order galaxy bispectrum in redshift space in the general bias expansion, or equivalently the effective field theory of biased tracers. We consistently include all line-of-sight dependent selection effects. These are degenerate with many, but not all, of the redshift-space distortion contributions, and have not been consistently derived before. Moreover, we show that, in the framework of effective field theory, a consistent bias expansion in redshift space must include these selection contributions. Physical arguments about the tracer sample considered and its observational selection have to be used to justify neglecting the selection contributions. In summary, the next-to-leading order galaxy power spectrum and leading-order galaxy bispectrum in the general bias expansion are described by 22 parameters, which reduces to 11 parameters if selection effects can be neglected. All contributions to the power spectrum can be written in terms of 28 independent loop integrals.

  3. Lyman-Alpha Forest and its Cross-Correlation with High-Redshift Galaxies in Effective Field Theory at the Field Level

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    An EFT-based field-level forward model for the Lyman-alpha forest matches simulations at the percent level on quasi-linear scales and generates mocks for DESI and DESI-II analyses.

  4. Efficient computation of the galaxy angular bispectrum in redshift space

    astro-ph.CO 2026-05 accept novelty 6.0

    The tree-level angular bispectrum in real and redshift space is expressed as sums of angular power spectra products, enabling an efficient and validated flat-sky approximation for unequal-time cases.

    astro-ph.CO 2024-11 accept novelty 6.0

    DESI DR1 full-shape galaxy clustering constrains Omega_m = 0.296 ± 0.010, H0 = 68.63 ± 0.79 km/s/Mpc, and sigma_8 = 0.841 ± 0.034, consistent with LambdaCDM and Planck.

  6. Field-level vs summaries: convergence of information in non-Gaussian density fields

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    In a controlled model with quadratic nonlinearity, field-level inference retains more parameter information than summaries up to 6-point functions as nonlinearity increases.
