The Impact of the Fiducial Cosmology Assumption on BAO Cosmological Parameter Inference

Paul Carter, Florian Beutler, Will J. Percival +3

Standard analysis pipelines for measurements of Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) in galaxy surveys make use of a fiducial cosmological model to guide the data compression require…

Beyond BAO: improving cosmological constraints from BOSS with measurement of the void-galaxy cross-correlation

Seshadri Nadathur, Paul M. Carter, Will J. Percival +2

We present a measurement of the anisotropic void-galaxy cross-correlation function in the CMASS galaxy sample of the BOSS DR12 data release. We perform a joint fit to the data for…

A Zeldovich reconstruction method for measuring redshift space distortions using cosmic voids

Seshadri Nadathur, Paul Carter, Will Percival

Redshift space distortions (RSD) in the void-galaxy correlation provide information on the linear growth rate of structure in low density environments. Accurate modelling of…

Overview of the DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys

Arjun Dey, David J. Schlegel, Dustin Lang +157

The DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys are a combination of three public projects (the Dark Energy Camera Legacy Survey, the Beijing-Arizona Sky Survey, and the Mayall z-band Legacy Surve…

Low Redshift Baryon Acoustic Oscillation Measurement from the Reconstructed 6-degree Field Galaxy Survey

Paul Carter, Florian Beutler, Will J. Percival +3

Low redshift measurements of Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) test the late time evolution of the Universe and are a vital probe of Dark Energy. Over the past decade both the 6-d…

Power spectrum multipoles on the curved sky: an application to the 6-degree Field Galaxy Survey

Chris Blake, Paul Carter, Jun Koda

The peculiar velocities of galaxies cause their redshift-space clustering to depend on the angle to the line-of-sight, providing a key test of gravitational physics on cosmological…

Consistency of the growth rate in different environments with the 6dF Galaxy Survey: measurement of the void-galaxy and galaxy-galaxy correlation functions

Ixandra Achitouv, Chris Blake, Paul Carter +2

We present a new test of gravitational physics by comparing the growth rate of cosmic structure measured around voids with that measured around galaxies in the same large-scale str…
