Abstract

We present a one per cent measurement of the cosmic distance scale from the detections of the baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) in the clustering of galaxies from the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey, which is part of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III.Our results come from the Data Release 11 (DR11) sample, containing nearly one million galaxies and covering approximately 8500 square degrees and the redshift range 0.2 < z < 0.7.We also compare these results with those from the publicly released DR9 and DR10 samples.Assuming a concordance cold dark matter ( CDM) cosmological model, the DR11 sample covers a volume of 13 Gpc 3 and is the largest region of the Universe ever surveyed at this density.We measure the correlation function and power spectrum, including density-field reconstruction of the BAO feature.The acoustic features are detected at a significance of over 7σ in both the correlation function and power spectrum.Fitting for the position of the acoustic features measures the distance relative to the sound horizon at the drag epoch, r d , which has a value of r d,fid = 149.28Mpc in our fiducial cosmology.We find D V = (1264 ± 25 Mpc)(r d /r d,fid ) Hubble Fellow.

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.
