Baryon Acoustic Oscillations
Observations of baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) in the clustering of galaxies offer an attractive method for setting cosmological constraints. The physics of the BAO production is well understood, and it is hard to imagine that galaxy formation processes will significantly distort this large-scale signal. The large volume of the Universe and redshift range probed by proposed SKA surveys will...
متن کاملBaryon Oscillations as a Cosmological Probe
Mapping the expansion of the universe gives clues to the underlying physics causing the recently discovered acceleration of the expansion, and enables discrimination among cosmological models. We examine the utility of measuring the rate of expansion, H(z), at various epochs, both alone and in combination with distance measurements. Due to parameter degeneracies, it proves most useful as a comp...
متن کاملDark Energy Constraints from Baryon Acoustic Oscillations
Baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) in the galaxy power spectrum allows us to extract the scale of the comoving sound horizon at recombination, a cosmological standard ruler accurately determined by the cosmic microwave background anisotropy data. We examine various issues important in the use of BAO to probe dark energy. We find that assuming a flat universe, and priors on Ωm, Ωmh , and Ωbh 2 a...
متن کاملImproved Forecasts for the Baryon Acoustic Oscillations and Cosmological Distance Scale
We present the cosmological distance errors achievable using the baryon acoustic oscillations as a standard ruler. We begin from a Fisher matrix formalism that is upgraded from Seo & Eisenstein (2003). We isolate the information from the baryonic peaks by excluding distance information from other less robust sources. Meanwhile we accommodate the Lagrangian displacement distribution into the Fis...
متن کاملMeasuring the speed of light with baryon acoustic oscillations.
In this Letter, we describe a new method to use baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) to derive a constraint on the possible variation of the speed of light. The method relies on the fact that there is a simple relation between the angular diameter distance (D(A)) maximum and the Hubble function (H) evaluated at the same maximum-condition redshift, which includes speed of light c. We note the clos...
