Euclid: Inferring star-formation history via cross-correlations of photometric clustering and shear with the cosmic infrared background

This paper forecasts that the Euclid mission, through cross-correlations of photometric clustering and weak lensing with the cosmic infrared background, will significantly improve constraints on the bias-weighted star-formation-rate density and halo occupation distribution parameters across cosmic time compared to previous studies.

Imagine the universe as a giant, cosmic movie theater. For decades, astronomers have been trying to watch the "stars" of the show—the galaxies—by looking at the light they emit. But there's a problem: the screen is covered in a thick, dusty fog. This fog is made of tiny grains that soak up the bright light from newborn stars and re-radiate it as a warm, infrared glow. This glow is called the Cosmic Infrared Background (CIB). It's like the static on an old TV, but instead of just noise, it's actually a glowing map of every star that has ever formed, all smeared together into one big, blurry picture.

The tricky part is that this "static" comes from everywhere and everywhen. It's a mix of light from galaxies that are close by and galaxies that are billions of light-years away. Trying to figure out which part of the glow belongs to which era of the universe is like trying to listen to a choir where everyone is singing at once; you can hear the music, but you can't tell who is singing what. Scientists want to know the "star-formation history"—basically, when the universe was most busy making stars and when it slowed down. To do this, they need a way to separate the layers of the cosmic fog.

This paper is a forecast, a high-tech simulation, about how a new space telescope called Euclid will help us solve this puzzle. The researchers are testing a clever trick: instead of just looking at the foggy infrared light, they will cross-reference it with a map of where galaxies are located. Think of it like having a list of who is in the choir (the galaxies) and matching their voices to the specific notes they are singing in the fog (the CIB). By using the Euclid mission's incredibly sharp maps of galaxy positions and shapes, combined with existing infrared data, the team predicts they can finally separate the layers of the cosmic fog. They aren't just guessing; they are running detailed computer simulations to see how well this method will work compared to older, fuzzier maps.

The main finding of this paper is that Euclid will be a game-changer. The simulations show that by using Euclid's data, scientists will be able to pin down the history of star formation with about twice the precision of current methods. It's like upgrading from a grainy black-and-white photo to a crisp, high-definition 4K video. The study also introduces a new way to use "cosmic shear"—which is basically the way gravity bends light from distant galaxies—to help separate the layers, a technique that hasn't been tried this way before.

The authors are very clear that these are results from simulations, not measurements from a finished experiment. They haven't actually looked at the new data yet because Euclid is still gathering it. However, their mathematical models suggest that Euclid will tighten the constraints on how stars form across time by a factor of two. This means the "blurry" picture of the universe's history will become much sharper. They also found that this method will help untangle a specific confusion in their models, where two different factors (how heavy the galaxy's home is and how efficiently it makes stars) were previously mixed up. With Euclid, these two factors will be separated, giving a much clearer picture of how galaxies grow.

The paper also compares Euclid's future power to current data from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DELS). The simulations show that Euclid will provide a signal-to-noise ratio of about 125 for galaxy clustering alone, and when combined with the cosmic shear data, the total signal strength jumps to 132. In contrast, the current DELS data only offers a signal-to-noise ratio of about 58. This isn't just a small improvement; it's a massive leap that will allow scientists to see star formation history in much greater detail, reaching back to redshifts as high as 2, which corresponds to a time when the universe was much younger.

One interesting detail the paper notes is that the quality of the infrared maps matters. They tested two different ways of cleaning up the "static" in the infrared data. One method, which keeps more of the sky visible, works better in their simulations than the other. This suggests that how we process the raw data is just as important as the telescope itself.

Ultimately, this paper is a blueprint for the future. It tells us that by combining the sharp galaxy maps from Euclid with the warm, dusty glow of the Cosmic Infrared Background, we will finally be able to write a detailed history book of star formation. We won't just know that stars formed; we'll know exactly when, where, and how efficiently they did it, turning a cosmic blur into a clear, vibrant story of our universe's evolution.

The Cosmic Infrared Background (CIB) encodes the integrated history of star formation, as it arises from dust heated by young stars in unresolved galaxies. However, the projected nature of the CIB makes it extremely difficult to disentangle contributions from sources at different redshifts using CIB observations alone. While previous studies have utilized cross-correlations between the CIB and galaxy clustering to infer the bias-weighted star-formation rate density ( $\langle b\rho_{\text{SFRD}}\rangle$ ), these analyses have been limited by the depth and statistical power of current datasets (e.g., DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys). There is a need to forecast how the upcoming Euclid mission, with its extensive photometric galaxy and weak lensing surveys, can improve constraints on the star-formation history and the underlying Halo Occupation Distribution (HOD) parameters.

Methodology
The authors perform a forecast tomographic cross-correlation analysis combining simulated Euclid photometric galaxy clustering and weak lensing data with Planck CIB observations. The methodology proceeds as follows:

Theoretical Framework: The analysis adopts the halo model to describe 3D correlations. The angular power spectra for galaxy clustering ( $C_{gg}$ ), CIB auto-correlation ( $C_{\nu\nu}$ ), and cross-correlations ( $C_{g\nu}$ and $C_{\epsilon\nu}$ ) are modeled using the Limber approximation (with a conservative cutoff at $\ell_{\min}=100$ ).
Tracers and Kernels:
- Galaxy Clustering: Modeled as a biased tracer of the matter density field. The analysis uses 13 tomographic redshift bins ( $z \approx 0$ to $2.5$) based on the Euclid photometric sample.
- Weak Lensing (Cosmic Shear): Modeled as a spin-2 field. To enable tomographic cross-correlation with the CIB, the authors apply the Bernardeau–Nishimichi–Taruya (BNT) nulling technique. This transforms the integrated shear kernel into localized kernels in redshift, satisfying the requirement that the CIB kernel varies slowly relative to the tracer kernel.
- CIB: Modeled as a tracer of the star-formation rate density (SFRD). The CIB intensity is linked to the SFRD via a radial kernel derived from Planck observations (specifically the 545 GHz channel, with comparisons to 353 and 857 GHz).
HOD Modeling: The star-formation efficiency is parameterized using the model from Maniyar et al. (2021), which separates contributions from central and satellite galaxies. The model depends on four parameters: maximum efficiency ( $\eta_{\max}$ ), characteristic halo mass ( $M_{\max}$ ), the width of the efficiency function ( $\sigma_0$ ), and a characteristic timescale ( $\tau$ ).
Statistical Analysis: A Fisher information matrix analysis is performed to forecast constraints. The covariance matrix includes Gaussian signal noise and shot noise. The analysis compares two Planck CIB cleaning pipelines: the Lenz et al. (2019) maps (covering $\sim17\%$ of the sky overlap with Euclid) and the GNILC-cleaned maps (covering $\sim27\%$ ).

Key Contributions

First Application of Cosmic Shear to CIB Cross-Correlations: The paper proposes and implements the use of BNT-transformed cosmic shear kernels to cross-correlate with the CIB, providing an independent probe of the SFRD evolution alongside galaxy clustering.
Tomographic Template Fitting: The authors utilize a template-fitting approach to extract $\langle b\rho_{\text{SFRD}}\rangle$ as a function of redshift without assuming an explicit SFR model, relying instead on the angular power spectra.
Comprehensive Forecasting: The study provides detailed forecasts for the Euclid mission, quantifying the expected improvement in constraining power over current datasets (DELS) and assessing the impact of different CIB cleaning procedures and small-scale cutoffs ( $k_{\max}$ ).

Results

Constraints on $\langle b\rho_{\text{SFRD}}\rangle$ : Compared to previous analyses using the same methodology on DELS data, Euclid is forecast to tighten constraints on $\langle b\rho_{\text{SFRD}}\rangle$ across all redshift bins by a factor of approximately 2. The joint analysis of galaxy clustering and cosmic shear yields a total signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) of 132, compared to 58 for the DELS-like dataset.
HOD Parameter Constraints: The analysis forecasts significant improvements in constraining HOD parameters. Specifically, Euclid is expected to reduce marginalized uncertainties by a factor of about 2.5 compared to DELS.
- The degeneracy between $\eta_{\max}$ and $\log_{10}(M_{\max}/M_\odot)$ is significantly broken.
- Precision on $\sigma_0$ and $\tau$ is improved by roughly 150%.
Impact of Sky Coverage and Cleaning: Using GNILC-cleaned Planck maps (27% sky overlap) yields consistently tighter constraints than using Lenz et al. (2019) maps (17% overlap), primarily due to the increased sky fraction reducing statistical uncertainties.
Small-Scale Sensitivity: Extending the analysis to smaller scales ( $k_{\max} = 0.3 \text{ Mpc}^{-1}$ ) offers modest improvements (approx. 10–17% in constraints) but is limited by the breakdown of the HOD model and nonlinear effects, which are not fully modeled in this forecast.

Significance
The paper claims that the combination of Euclid's deep, wide-field photometric and weak lensing surveys with CIB observations will provide a powerful, model-independent tool for probing the large-scale star-formation history across cosmic time. By tightening constraints on the bias-weighted SFRD and breaking degeneracies in HOD parameters, this approach will enhance the understanding of galaxy formation and evolution. The authors emphasize that while current CIB cleaning limits the sky overlap, the statistical power of Euclid will still represent a major advancement over existing datasets, allowing for a more precise reconstruction of star-formation history without relying on explicit SFR models.
