Abstract

We study the large-scale anisotropic two-point correlation function using 46,760 luminous red galaxies at redshifts 0.16-0.47 from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. We measure the correlation function as a function of separations parallel and perpendicular to the line of sight in order to take account of anisotropy of the large-scale structure in redshift space. We find a slight signal of baryonic features in the anisotropic correlation function, i.e., a "baryon ridge" corresponding to a baryon acoustic peak in the spherically averaged correlation function, which has already been reported using the same sample. The baryon ridge has primarily a spherical structure with a known radius in comoving coordinates. It enables us to divide the redshift distortion effects into dynamical and geometrical components and provides further constraints on cosmological parameters, including the dark energy equation-of-state. With an assumption of a flat Λ cosmology, we find the best-fit values of Ω m = 0.218 −0.037 +0.047 and Ω b = 0.047 ± 0.016 (68% CL) when we use the overall shape of the anisotropic correlation function of 40 < s < 200 h −1 Mpc including a scale of baryon acoustic oscillations. When an additional assumption of Ω b h 2 = 0.024 is adopted, we obtain Ω DE = 0.770 −0.040 +0.051 and w = − 0.93 −0.35 +0.45 . These constraints are estimated only from our data of the anisotropic correlation function, and they agree quite well with values both from the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies and from other complementary statistics using the LRG sample. With the CMB prior from the 3 year WMAP results, we give stronger constraints on those parameters.

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.
