After moving observed galaxies in galaxy surveys back to their initial position, the reconstructed density field is closer to a linear Gaussian field, with higher-order information moved back into the power spectrum. By combining power spectra measured from the pre- and post-reconstructed galaxy samples, higher-order information beyond the 2-point power spectrum can be efficiently extracted, as power spectra can be measured more quickly than direct measurements of the bispectrum and other higher order functions. This opens a new window to easily use higher-order information when constraining cosmological models. Full Text Additional Declarations There is NO Competing Interest.
