Backlighting the LSS with the CMB - Alleviating Baryonic Effects

Explore how cosmic microwave background radiation can be used as a backlight to study large-scale structure in this 16-minute conference talk by Emmanuel Schaan from the Galileo Galilei Institute. Learn about innovative techniques for mitigating baryonic effects in cosmological observations by leveraging the CMB as a probe of intervening matter. Discover how this backlighting approach provides new insights into the distribution of matter in the universe while addressing challenges posed by complex baryonic physics that can complicate traditional large-scale structure measurements. Gain understanding of cutting-edge observational strategies that combine CMB data with large-scale structure studies to advance our knowledge of cosmic evolution and structure formation.
