Baryon Acoustic Oscillations in the Ly-α forest of BOSS quasars
Nicolás G. Busca, Timothée Delubac, James Rich +59
We report a detection of the baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) feature in the three-dimensional correlation function of the transmitted flux fraction in the \Lya forest of high-red…
The clustering of galaxies in the SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: Baryon Acoustic Oscillations in the Data Release 9 Spectroscopic Galaxy Sample
Lauren Anderson, Eric Aubourg, Stephen Bailey +73
We present measurements of galaxy clustering from the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS), which is part of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III (SDSS-III). These use the Da…
A 2% Distance to z = 0.35 by Reconstructing Baryon Acoustic Oscillations - III : Cosmological Measurements and Interpretation
Kushal T. Mehta, Antonio J. Cuesta, Xiaoying Xu +2
We use the 2% distance measurement from our reconstructed baryon acoustic oscillations (BAOs) signature using the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 7 (DR7) Luminous Red…
The clustering of galaxies in the SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: cosmological implications of the large-scale two-point correlation function
Ariel G. Sanchez, C. G. Scoccola, A. J. Ross +53
We obtain constraints on cosmological parameters from the spherically averaged redshift-space correlation function of the CMASS Data Release 9 (DR9) sample of the Baryonic Oscillat…
A 2% Distance to z=0.35 by Reconstructing Baryon Acoustic Oscillations - II: Fitting Techniques
Xiaoying Xu, Nikhil Padmanabhan, Daniel J. Eisenstein +2
We present results from fitting the baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) signal in the correlation function obtained from the first application of reconstruction to a galaxy redshift…
A 2% Distance to z=0.35 by Reconstructing Baryon Acoustic Oscillations - I : Methods and Application to the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
Nikhil Padmanabhan, Xiaoying Xu, Daniel J. Eisenstein +4
We apply the reconstruction technique to the clustering of galaxies from the SDSS DR7 LRG sample, sharpening the baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) feature and achieving a 1.9% meas…
Galaxy Bias and its Effects on the Baryon Acoustic Oscillations Measurements
Kushal T. Mehta, Hee-Jong Seo, Jonathan Eckel +4
The baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) feature in the clustering of matter in the universe serves as a robust standard ruler and hence can be used to map the expansion history of th…
A New Statistic for Analyzing Baryon Acoustic Oscillations
X. Xu, M. White, N. Padmanabhan +6
We introduce a new statistic omega_l for measuring and analyzing large-scale structure and particularly the baryon acoustic oscillations. omega_l is a band-filtered, configuration…
High-precision predictions for the acoustic scale in the non-linear regime
Hee-Jong Seo, Jonathan Eckel, Daniel J. Eisenstein +7
We measure shifts of the acoustic scale due to nonlinear growth and redshift distortions to a high precision using a very large volume of high-force-resolution simulations. We comp…
