Developing a unified pipeline for large-scale structure data analysis with angular power spectra - III. Implementing the multitracer technique to constrain neutrino masses
Abstract
In this paper, we apply the multitracer technique to harmonic-space (i.e. angular) power spectra with a likelihood-based approach. This goes beyond the usual Fisher matrix formalism hitherto implemented in forecasts with angular statistics, opening up a window for future developments and direct application to available data sets. We also release a fully operational modified version of the publicly available code CosmoSIS, where we consistently include all the add-ons presented in the previous papers of this series. The result is a modular cosmological parameter estimation suite for angular power spectra of galaxy number counts, allowing for single and multiple tracers, and including density fluctuations, redshift-space distortions, and weak-lensing magnification. We demonstrate the improvement on parameter constraints enabled by the use of multiple tracers on a multitracing analysis of luminous red galaxies and emission-line galaxies. We obtain an enhancement of $44{{\ \rm per\ cent}}$ on the 2σ upper bound on the sum of neutrino masses.
