Descripción
Aiming to extract cosmological information from linear scales of the
WISE×SuperCOSMOS photometric redshift catalog, we perform a
characterization of the systematic effects associated with stellar
content, evidencing the presence of contamination and obscuration. We
create an integrated model for these effects (which together we call
"usurper contamination"), devise a method to remove both of them
simultaneously and show its functionality by applying it to a set of
mock catalogs. When administered to WISE×SuperCOSMOS data, our
method shows to improve the measurements of angular power spectra on
scales llesssim15 and the extraction of cosmological parameters
therefrom, even though a significant excess of power remains at these
scales. When ignoring scales l<15, we still find strong indications
of systematics, albeit these can be localized in the southern equatorial
hemisphere. An independent analysis of the northern hemisphere at l>=
15 agrees with the ΛCDM model with parameters from the Planck
satellite and gives Ωc=0.254±0.020 and
Ωb<0.065 at 95% confidence limit when combined with
priors on H0, As and ns.
