SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey Data Release 12: galaxy target selection and large scale structure catalogues

Beth Reid, Shirley Ho, Nikhil Padmanabhan +39

The Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS), part of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) III project, has provided the largest survey of galaxy redshifts available to date,…

The clustering of galaxies in the SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: Modeling the clustering and halo occupation distribution of BOSS-CMASS galaxies in the Final Data Release

Sergio A. Rodríguez-Torres, Chia-Hsun Chuang, Francisco Prada +21

We present a study of the clustering and halo occupation distribution of BOSS CMASS galaxies in the redshift range 0.43 < z < 0.7 drawn from the Final SDSS-III Data Release. We com…

The clustering of galaxies in the SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: RSD measurement from the LOS-dependent power spectrum of DR12 BOSS galaxies

Héctor Gil-Marín, Will J. Percival, Joel R. Brownstein +13

We measure and analyse the clustering of the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) relative to the line-of-sight (LOS), for LOWZ and CMASS galaxy samples drawn from the fi…

Estimating the power spectrum covariance matrix with fewer mock samples

David W. Pearson, Lado Samushia

The covariance matrices of power-spectrum (P(k)) measurements from galaxy surveys are difficult to compute theoretically. The current best practice is to estimate covariance matric…

Non-Gaussian Error Distributions of LMC Distance Moduli Measurements

Sara Crandall, Bharat Ratra

We construct error distributions for a compilation of 232 Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) distance moduli values from de Grijs (2014) that give an LMC distance modulus of (m-M)_{0}=18…

Cosmological parameter inference from galaxy clustering: The effect of the posterior distribution of the power spectrum

Benedict Bahr-Kalus, Will J. Percival, Lado Samushia

We consider the shape of the posterior distribution to be used when fitting cosmological models to power spectra measured from galaxy surveys. At very large scales, Gaussian poster…

Geometric Biases in Power-Spectrum Measurements

Lado Samushia, Enzo Branchini, Will Percival

The observed distribution of galaxies has local transverse isotropy around the line-of- sight (LOS) with respect to the observer. The difference in the statistical clustering signa…
