Cosmological constraints with the linear point from the BOSS survey

The Linear Point (LP), defined as the mid-point between the baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) peak and the associated left dip of the two-point correlation function (2PCF), xi(s), is proposed as a new standard ruler which is insensitive to non-linear effec ...

Probing the nature of Dark Energy through the study of large scale structures using spectroscopic surveys and their simulations

Andrei Variu

Measurements of large-scale structure (LSS), as performed on the largest 3D map of over two million extragalactic sources from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, together with measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies, are in complete a ...

TDCOSMO I. An exploration of systematic uncertainties in the inference ofH(0)from time-delay cosmography

Frédéric Courbin

Strong-lensing time delays enable the measurement of the Hubble constant (H0) independently of other traditional methods. The main limitation to the precision of time-delay cosmography is mass-sheet degeneracy (MSD). Some of the previous TDCOSMO analyses b ...

Time-delay Cosmography with Strongly Lensed Quasars

Martin Raoul Robert Millon

The LCDM model has emerged as the concordance model of cosmology for its ability to explain a variety of observations, ranging from the anisotropies of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) to the accelerated expansion of the Universe. However, with the ev ...

Completed SDSS-IV extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: Cosmological implications from two decades of spectroscopic surveys at the Apache Point Observatory

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Zheng Zheng, Andrei Variu, Cheng Zhao, Johan Comparat, Anand Stéphane Raichoor, Yuting Wang, Amélie Tamone

We present the cosmological implications from final measurements of clustering using galaxies, quasars, and Ly alpha forests from the completed Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) lineage of experiments in large-scale structure. These experiments, composed of ...

Testing parallaxes with local Cepheids and RR Lyrae stars

Stephan Morgenthaler, Mikaël Martino, Shuangqing Liao

Context. Parallaxes for 331 classical Cepheids, 31 Type II Cepheids, and 364 RR Lyrae stars in common between Gaia and the HIPPARCOS and Tycho-2 catalogues are published in Gaia Data Release 1 (DR1) as part of the Tycho-Gaia Astrometric Solution (TGAS). Ai ...

SDSS-IV eBOSS emission-line galaxy pilot survey

Yi Zhang, Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Eduardo Sanchez, Zhirui Xu, Johan Comparat, Anand Stéphane Raichoor, David Schlegel, Timothée Guy Olivier Delubac

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey IV extended Baryonic Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (SDSS-IV/eBOSS) will observe 195 000 emission-line galaxies (ELGs) to measure the baryonic acoustic oscillation (BAO) standard ruler at redshift 0.9. To test different ELG s ...

Signatures of the Primordial Universe from Its Emptiness: Measurement of Baryon Acoustic Oscillations from Minima of the Density Field

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Cheng Zhao, Yu Liang

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 measure the scale of the Universe. These oscillations have already been detec ...

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Zheng Zheng, Cheng Zhao, Johan Comparat, Anand Stéphane Raichoor, David Schlegel, Timothée Guy Olivier Delubac, Yuting Wang, Pierre Laurent, Cheng Li, Yu Liang

In a six-year program started in 2014 July, the Extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (eBOSS) will conduct novel cosmological observations using the BOSS spectrograph at Apache Point Observatory. These observations will be conducted simultaneous ...

The clustering of galaxies in the SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: single-probe measurements from CMASS anisotropic galaxy clustering

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, David Schlegel, Yuting Wang

With the largest spectroscopic galaxy survey volume drawn from the SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS), we can extract cosmological constraints from the measurements of redshift and geometric distortions at quasi-linear scales (e.g. abo ...
