Improving baryon acoustic oscillation measurement with the combination of cosmic voids and galaxies

We develop a methodology to optimize the measurement of baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) from a given galaxy sample. In our previous work, we demonstrated that one can measure BAO from tracers in underdense regions (voids). In this study, we combine the o ...

The Sdss-Iv Extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: Overview And Early Data

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

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 ...

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 ...
