The large-scale 3-point correlation function of the SDSS BOSS DR12 CMASS galaxies
Zachary Slepian, Daniel J. Eisenstein, Florian Beutler +15
We report a measurement of the large-scale 3-point correlation function of galaxies using the largest dataset for this purpose to date, 777, 202 Luminous Red Galaxies in the Sloan…
Signatures of the Primordial Universe from Its Emptiness: Measurement of Baryon Acoustic Oscillations from Minima of the Density Field
Francisco-Shu Kitaura, Chia-Hsun Chuang, Yu Liang +14
Sound waves from the primordial fluctuations of the Universe imprinted in the large-scale structure, called baryon acoustic oscillations (BAOs), can be used as standard rulers to m…
Evidence for the kinematic Sunyaev-Zeľdovich effect with ACTPol and velocity reconstruction from BOSS
Emmanuel Schaan, Simone Ferraro, Mariana Vargas-Magaña +43
We use microwave temperature maps from two seasons of data from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACTPol) at 146 GHz, together with the Constant Mass CMASS galaxy sample from the Ba…
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: mock galaxy catalogues for the BOSS Final Data Release
Francisco-Shu Kitaura, Sergio Rodriguez-Torres, Chia-Hsun Chuang +20
We reproduce the galaxy clustering catalogue from the SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey Final Data Release (BOSS DR11&DR12) with high fidelity on all relevant scales…
The clustering of galaxies in the SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: Effect of smoothing of density field on reconstruction and anisotropic BAO analysis
M. Vargas-Magaña, S. Ho, S. Fromenteau +1
The reconstruction algorithm introduced by \cite{Eis07}, which is widely used in clustering analysis, is based on the inference of the first order Lagrangian displacement field fro…
The clustering of galaxies in the SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: Baryon Acoustic Oscillations in the correlation function of LOWZ and CMASS galaxies in Data Release 12
Antonio J. Cuesta, Mariana Vargas-Magaña, Florian Beutler +20
We present distance scale measurements from the baryon acoustic oscillation signal in the CMASS and LOWZ samples from the Data Release 12 of the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Su…
The SDSS-IV extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: Overview and Early Data
Kyle S. Dawson, Jean-Paul Kneib, Will J. Percival +143
The Extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (eBOSS) will conduct novel cosmological observations using the BOSS spectrograph at Apache Point Observatory. Observations will…
Robust New Statistic for fitting the Baryon Acoustic Feature
Keisuke Osumi, Shirley Ho, Daniel J. Eisenstein +1
We investigate the utility and robustness of a new statistic, , for analyzing Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO). We apply ,…
Testing General Relativity with Growth rate measurement from Sloan Digital Sky Survey III Baryon Oscillations Spectroscopic Survey galaxies
Shadab Alam, Shirley Ho, Mariana Vargas-Magaña +1
The measured redshift () of an astronomical object is a combination of Hubble recession, gravitational redshift and peculiar velocity. The line of sight distance to a galaxy inf…
