2 Outline How do relativistic effects distort our observables? Effect on: the galaxy number counts the convergence κ(or magnification) How can we measure relativistic effects? We can isolate these effects by looking at anti-symmetries in the correlation function. How can we use them to test gravity? Benasque Camille Bonvin p. 2 /32

13 Convergence Galaxy surveys observe also the shape and the luminosity of galaxies measure of the convergence. The convergence κmeasures distortions in the size. The shear γmeasures distortions in the shape. Relativistic distortions affect the convergence at linear order.

15 Observations Due to relativistic effects, and κcontain additional information. δ,v,φ,ψ (Φ+Ψ),V,Φ,Ψ This can help testing gravity by probing the relation between density, velocity and gravitational potentials. Two difficulties: The relativistic effects are small: we need to go to large scales. We always measure the sum of all the effects. We need a way of isolating relativistic effects look for anti-symmetries in the correlation function. Benasque Camille Bonvin p. 15/32

22 Relativistic effects The relativistic effects break the symmetry of the correlation function. x x The correlation function differs for galaxies behind or in front of the central one. Observer n This differs from the breaking of isotropy, due to redshift distortions, which is symmetric. To measure the asymmetry, we need two populations of galaxies: faint and bright. Benasque Camille Bonvin p. 22/32

25 Cross-correlation The following terms break the symmetry: rel = 1 H rψ+ ( 1 Ḣ H 2 2 rh ) V n+ 1 H V n Benasque Camille Bonvin p. 25/32

30 Testing Euler equation The monopole and quadrupole in allow to measure V The dipole allows to measure: rel = 1 H rψ+ ( 1 Ḣ H 2 2 rh ) V n+ 1 H V n If Euler equation is valid: rel = V n+hv n+ r Ψ = 0 ( Ḣ H rh ) V n With the dipole, we can test Euler equation. Benasque Camille Bonvin p. 30/32

31 Measuring the anisotropic stress The dipole in the convergence is sensitive to: The standard part κ v = ( ) 1 rh 1 κ g = 1 2r r can be measure through κκ and 0 V n dr r r r Ω (Φ+Ψ) γγ Assuming Euler equation, we can test the relation between the two metric potentials Φand Ψ. Benasque Camille Bonvin p. 31/32

32 Conclusion Our observables are affected by relativistic effects. These effects have a different signature in the correlation function: they induce anti-symmetries. By measuring these anti-symmetries we can isolate the relativistic effects and use them to test the relations between the density, velocity and gravitational potential. Benasque Camille Bonvin p. 32/32

33 Contamination The density and velocity evolve with time: the density of the faint galaxies in front of the bright is larger than the density behind. This also induces a dipole in the correlation function. F Larger redshift smaller density 2 1 relativistic B s 2 Ξ 1 0 total F Observer n 1 2 evolution s Mpc h Benasque Camille Bonvin p. 33/32
