Probing Dark Energy with Baryonic Acoustic Oscillations from Future Large Galaxy Redshift Surveys

Open access

Abstract

We show that the measurement of the baryonic acoustic oscillations in large high-redshift galaxy surveys offers a precision route to the measurement of dark energy. The cosmic microwave background provides the scale of the oscillations as a standard ruler that can be measured in the clustering of galaxies, thereby yielding the Hubble parameter and angular diameter distance as a function of redshift. This, in turn, enables one to probe dark energy. We use a Fisher matrix formalism to study the statistical errors for redshift surveys up to z = 3 and report errors on cosmography while marginalizing over a large number of cosmological parameters, including a time-dependent equation of state. With redshift surveys combined with cosmic microwave background satellite data, we achieve errors of 0.037 on Ω X , 0.10 on w ( z = 0.8), and 0.28 on dw ( z )/ dz for the cosmological constant model. Models with less negative w ( z ) permit tighter constraints. We test and discuss the dependence of performance on redshift, survey conditions, and the fiducial model. We find results that are competitive with the performance of future Type Ia supernova surveys. We conclude that redshift surveys offer a promising independent route to the measurement of dark energy.

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.
