The clustering of galaxies in the completed SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: tomographic BAO analysis of DR12 combined sample in Fourier space

Abstract

We perform a tomographic baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) analysis using the monopole, quadrupole and hexadecapole of the redshift-space galaxy power spectrum measured from the pre-reconstructed combined galaxy sample of the completed Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-III) Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) Data Release (DR)12 covering the redshift range of $0.20<z<0.75$. By allowing for overlap between neighbouring redshift slices, we successfully obtained the isotropic and anisotropic BAO distance measurements within nine redshift slices to a precision of $1.5\%-3.4\%$ for $D_V/r_d$, $1.8\%-4.2\%$ for $D_A/r_d$ and $3.7\%-7.5\%$ for $H{r}_d$, depending on effective redshifts. We provide our BAO measurement of $D_A/r_d$ and $H{r}_d$ with the full covariance matrix, which can be used for cosmological implications. Our measurements are consistent with those presented in \citet{Acacia}, in which the BAO distances are measured at three effective redshifts. We constrain dark energy parameters using our measurements, and find an improvement of the Figure-of-Merit of dark energy in general due to the temporal BAO information resolved. This paper is part of a set that analyses the final galaxy clustering dataset from BOSS.
