Dark Energy Survey Year 1 Results: galaxy mock catalogues for BAO

S. Avila, M. Crocce, A. J. Ross +51

Mock catalogues are a crucial tool in the analysis of galaxy surveys data, both for the accurate computation of covariance matrices, and for the optimisation of analysis methodolog…

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…

Forecasting Cosmological Constraints from Redshift Surveys

Martin White, Yong-Seon Song, Will J. Percival

Observations of redshift-space distortions in spectroscopic galaxy surveys offer an attractive method for observing the build-up of cosmological structure, which depends both on th…
