Issue Date: | 2021 | Journal: | JOURNAL OF COSMOLOGY AND ASTROPARTICLE PHYSICS | Number: | 2021 | Issue: | 1 | First Page: | 009 | Abstract: | The linear point (LP), defined as the mid-point between the dip and the peak of the two-point clustering correlation function (TPCF), has been shown to be an excellent standard ruler for cosmology. In fact, it is nearly redshift-independent, being weakly sensitive to non-linearities, scale-dependent halo bias and redshift-space distortions. So far, these findings were tested assuming that neutrinos are massless; in this paper we extend the analysis to massive-neutrino cosmologies. In particular, we examine if the scale-dependent growth induced by neutrinos affects the LP position and if it is possible to detect the neutrino masses using the shift of the LP compared to the massless-neutrino case. For our purposes, we employ two sets of state-of-the-art N-body simulations with massive neutrinos. For each of them we measure the TPCF of cold dark matter (CDM) and halos and, to estimate the LP, fit the TPCF with a model-independent parametric fit in the range of scales of the Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO). Overall, we find that the LP retains its features as a standard ruler even when neutrinos are massive. The cosmic distances measured with the LP can therefore be employed to constrain the neutrino mass. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/32065 | URL: | https://api.elsevier.com/content/abstract/scopus_id/85099364858 https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1475-7516/2021/01/009 |
