Abstract: The Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) is designed to measure the scale of baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) in the clustering of matter over a larger volume than the combined efforts of all previous spectroscopic surveys of large-scale structure. BOSS uses 1.5 million luminous galaxies as faint as i = 19.9 over 10,000 deg 2 to measure BAO to redshifts z < 0.7. Observations of neutral hydrogen in the Lyα forest in more than 150,000 quasar spectra (g < 22) will constrain BAO over the redshift range… Show more

“…At the classical level, we may therefore use this equation to eliminate Φ from the action and reproduce the f (R) action (5.24). 18 We also note that the trace of (5.26) can be cast as an equation for the scalar degree of freedom f R : 28) where V eff (f R ) is an effective potential. Taking another derivative, we obtain the effective mass of the scalar f R…”

“…There is overwhelming observational evidence that the universe is undergoing accelerated expansion from observations of type Ia supernovae [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12], from Cosmic Microwave Background measurements [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22], and from detailed studies of large-scale structure [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30]. All of the measurements are in good agreement, with all data consistent with a Λ-cold dark matter (ΛCDM) cosmology [31,32], with a value of the cosmological constant of about Λ obs.…”

“…BOSS is observing 1.5 million luminous galaxies (mostly LRGs) out to z = 0.7 over 10,000 square degrees Dawson et al, 2013), with a selection that triples the number density of LRGs at z < 0.4 relative to SDSS-II and extends to a new redshift range with a dense sample at 0.5 < z < 0.7. The increased sampling should facilitate accurate density-field reconstruction ( §4.3.3) to boost the BAO performance.…”

“…BOSS, as part of SDSS-III (Eisenstein et al 2011;Dawson et al 2012) measured spectroscopic redshifts of 1 198 006 galaxies making use of the SDSS multi-fibre spectrographs (Bolton et al 2012;Smee et al 2013). The galaxies are selected from multi-colour SDSS imaging (Fukugita et al 1996;Gunn et al 1998;Smith et al 2002;Gunn, Siegmund & et al 2006;Doi et al 2010) over 10 252 deg 2 divided in two patches on the sky and cover a redshift range of z = 0.2 − 0.75.…”
