In this paper, we study the characteristic scale of transition to cosmic homogeneity of the universe, , as a standard ruler, to constrain cosmological parameters on…
Exploring cosmic homogeneity with the BOSS DR12 galaxy sample
Pierros Ntelis, Jean-Christophe Hamilton, Jean-Marc Le Goff +16
In this study, we probe the transition to cosmic homogeneity in the Large Scale Structure (LSS) of the Universe using the CMASS galaxy sample of BOSS spectroscopic survey which cov…
A 14 Gpc study of cosmic homogeneity using BOSS DR12 quasar sample
Pierre Laurent, Jean-Marc Le Goff, Etienne Burtin +16
The BOSS quasar sample is used to study cosmic homogeneity with a 3D survey in the redshift range . We measure the count-in-sphere, , i.e. the average number o…
Large-scale clustering of Lyman-alpha emission intensity from SDSS/BOSS
Rupert A. C. Croft, Jordi Miralda-Escudé, Zheng Zheng +25
(Abridged) We detect the large-scale structure of Lya emission in the Universe at redshifts z=2-3.5 by measuring the cross-correlation of Lya surface brightness with quasars in SDS…
Cosmological implications of baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) measurements
Éric Aubourg, Stephen Bailey, Julian E. Bautista +90
We derive constraints on cosmological parameters and tests of dark energy models from the combination of baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) measurements with cosmic microwave backgr…

Timothée Delubac, Julian E. Bautista, Nicolás G. Busca +35
We report a detection of the baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) feature in the flux-correlation function of the Lyα forest of high-redshift quasars with a statistical significance o…
PRISM (Polarized Radiation Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission): An Extended White Paper
PRISM Collaboration, Philippe André, Carlo Baccigalupi +140
PRISM (Polarized Radiation Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission) was proposed to ESA in May 2013 as a large-class mission for investigating within the framework of the ESA Cosmic Visio…
What have we learned from observational cosmology ?
Jean-Christophe Hamilton
We review the observational foundations of the CDM model, considered by most cosmologists as the standard model of cosmology. The Cosmological Principle, a key assumption of the…
The BOSS Lyman-alpha Forest Sample from SDSS Data Release 9
