Abstract

We present measurements of galaxy clustering from the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS), which is part of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III (SDSS-III).These use the Data Release 9 (DR9) CMASS sample, which contains 264 283 massive galaxies covering 3275 square degrees with an effective redshift z = 0.57 and redshift range 0.43 < z < 0.7.Assuming a concordance CDM cosmological model, this sample covers an effective volume of 2.2 Gpc 3 , and represents the largest sample of the Universe ever surveyed at this density, n ≈ 3 × 10 -4 h -3 Mpc 3 .We measure the angle-averaged galaxy correlation function and power spectrum, including density-field reconstruction of the baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) feature.The acoustic features are detected at a significance of 5σ in both the correlation function and power spectrum.Combining with the SDSS-II luminous red galaxy sample, the detection significance increases to 6.7σ .Fitting for the position of the acoustic features measures the distance to z = 0.57 relative to the sound horizon D V /r s = 13.67 ± 0.22 at z = 0.57.Assuming a fiducial sound horizon of 153.19 Mpc, which matches cosmic microwave background constraints, this corresponds to a distance D V (z = 0.57) = 2094 ± 34 Mpc.At 1.7 per cent, this is the most precise distance constraint ever obtained from a galaxy survey.We place this result alongside previous BAO measurements in a cosmological distance ladder and find excellent agreement with the current supernova measurements.We use these distance measurements to constrain various cosmological models, finding continuing support for a flat Universe with a cosmological constant.

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.
