Sparsity covariance: a source of uncertainty when estimating correlation functions with a discrete sample of observations in the sky

Cosmological observables rely heavily on summary statistics such as two-point correlation functions. In many practical cases (e.g. the weak-lensing cosmic shear), those correlation functions are estimated from a finite, discrete sample of measurements that are randomly distributed in the sky. The re...
