Description

$f\sigma_8$ is a powerful probe at low redshift to discriminate between different theories of gravity. In linear theory, this parameter is directly related to the velocity field. In this talk, I will show how the peculiar velocities of ZTF Type Ia supernovae can be used to measure $f\sigma_8$. I apply a maximum likelihood approach together with realistic simulations based on N-body mocks. I also investigate systematic effects in preparation for the analysis of the ZTF Data Release 2.5.
