Measuring Cosmological Parameters with Galaxy Surveys
Open accessAbstract
We assess the accuracy with which future galaxy surveys can measure cosmological parameters. By breaking parameter degeneracies of the Planck cosmic microwave background satellite, the Sloan digital sky survey may be able to reduce the Planck error bars by about an order of magnitude on the large-scale power normalization and the reionization optical depth, down to percent levels. However, pinpointing attainable accuracies to within better than a factor of a few depends crucially on whether it will be possible to extract useful information from the mildly nonlinear regime.

“We calculated the effective volume of the survey using the estimate of Tegmark (1997) Veff = ∫ d3~x [ n(~x)P0 1 + n(~x)P0 ]2 (1) where n(~x) is the mean galaxy density at position ~x, determined from the data, and P0 is the characteristic power spectrum amplitude of the BAO signal.”

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.
