Overview

Spectroscopic survey reveals precise baryon acoustic oscillation scales across 5.7 million cosmic tracers, suggesting subtle deviations from standard Planck cosmological models.

Key Points

  • Measure baryon acoustic oscillation distance scales across cosmic time using first-year galaxy and quasar spectra to test and constrain cosmological expansion models.
  • Analyzed catalog-level blinded spectroscopic data covering ~7,500 square degrees and an effective volume of ~18 Gpc³, utilizing over 5.7 million unique redshifts spanning 0.1 < z < 2.1.
  • Divided tracers into 300,017 Bright Galaxy Survey galaxies (0.1 < z < 0.4), 2,138,600 Luminous Red Galaxies (0.4 < z < 1.1), 2,432,022 Emission Line Galaxies (0.8 < z < 1.6), and 856,652 quasars (0.8 < z < 2.1).
  • Applied unified, physically motivated fitting and reconstruction pipelines validated on mock catalogs and benchmarked against re-analyzed SDSS BOSS and eBOSS datasets.
  • Detected baryon acoustic oscillations across all six redshift bins with an aggregate precision of ~0.52%, achieving a peak detection significance of 9.1σ (0.86% scale constraint) at z = 0.93.
  • Observed baryon acoustic oscillation scales that are systematically larger than the predictions of the Planck 2018-ΛCDM cosmological model at z < 0.8.
