Baryon Acoustic Oscillations from galaxy surveys
Paula S. Ferreira, Ribamar R. R. Reis

TL;DR
This paper reviews methods for detecting Baryon Acoustic Oscillations in galaxy surveys, presents new results from spectroscopic datasets, compares different surveys, and discusses the redshift dependence of the BAO scale.
Contribution
It introduces new analyses of power spectra from BOSS and eBOSS datasets, compares BAO measurements across multiple surveys, and discusses the implications of redshift evolution of the BAO scale.
Findings
BOSS data yields smaller error bars on the dilation scale parameter than eBOSS.
Photometric surveys have larger uncertainties in BAO measurements.
Results from DESI III agree within 1σ with the findings in this paper.
Abstract
We conducted a review of the fundamental aspects of describing and detecting the Baryon Acoustic Oscillation (BAO) feature in galaxy surveys, emphasizing the optimal tools for constraining this probe based on the type of observation. Additionally, we included new results with two spectroscopic datasets to determine the best-fit model for the power spectrum, . Using the framework described in a previous analysis, we applied this to a different sub-sample of the BOSS survey, specifically galaxies with redshifts . We also examined the eBOSS dataset with redshifts , adjusting the number of parameters in the traditional polynomial fit to account for the higher redshift range. Our results showed that the dilation scale parameter derived from the BOSS dataset had smaller error bars compared to the eBOSS dataset, attributable to the larger number of…
