Probing Dark Energy Using Baryonic Oscillations in the Galaxy Power Spectrum as a Cosmological Ruler

Open access
Blake, Chris, Glazebrook, Karl·2003·The Astrophysical Journal

Abstract

We show that the baryonic oscillations expected in the galaxy power spectrum may be used as a "standard cosmological ruler" to facilitate accurate measurement of the cosmological equation of state. Our approach involves a straightforward measurement of the oscillation "wavelength" in Fourier space, which is fixed by fundamental linear physics in the early universe and hence is highly model-independent. We quantify the ability of future large-scale galaxy redshift surveys with mean redshifts z ~ 1 and ~3 to delineate the baryonic peaks in the power spectrum, and we derive corresponding constraints on the parameter w describing the equation of state of the dark energy. For example, a survey of 4 times the Sloan volume at z ~ 1 can produce a measurement with accuracy Δ w ≈ 0.1. We suggest that this method of measuring the dark energy powerfully complements other probes, such as Type Ia supernovae, and suffers from a different (and arguably less serious) set of systematic uncertainties.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
