Void Statistics and CMB Cross-Correlations for Precision Cosmology

This paper introduces a novel method, 'analog matching,' for creating mock galaxy catalogs tailored for the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope survey. It focuses on validating these catalogs for void statistics and CMB cross-correlation analyses, crucial for precision cosmology. The study emphasizes the importance of accurate void modeling and provides a versatile resource for future research, highlighting the limitations of traditional methods and the need for improved mock accuracy.
