Deprojecting Astronomical Sky Maps
We see the sky in 2D but, in order to conduct astrophysical studies, we need 3D information. I will show how to take any large-scale map of the sky, at any wavelength, and extract 3D extragalactic information from it using clustering measurements. I will then apply this technique to observations of galaxies and diffuse components across the electromagnetic spectrum.
