abstract

We present cosmological parameter measurements from the publicly available Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) data on anisotropic galaxy clustering in Fourier space. Compared to previous studies, our analysis has two main novel features. First, we use a complete perturbation theory model that properly takes into account the non-linear effects of dark matter clustering, short-scale physics, galaxy bias, redshift-space distortions, and large-scale bulk flows. Second, we employ a Markov-Chain Monte-Carlo technique and consistently reevaluate the full power spectrum likelihood as we scan over different cosmologies. Our baseline analysis assumes minimal $\Lambda$CDM, varies the neutrino masses within a reasonably tight range, fixes the primordial power spectrum tilt, and uses the big bang nucleosynthesis prior on the physical baryon density $\omega_b$. In this setup, we find the following late-Universe parameters: Hubble constant $H_0=(67.9\pm 1.1)$ km$\,$s$^{-1}$Mpc$^{-1}$, matter density fraction $\Omega_m=0.295\pm 0.010$, and the mass fluctuation amplitude $\sigma_8=0.721\pm 0.043$. These parameters were measured directly from the BOSS data and independently of the Planck cosmic microwave background observations. Scanning over the power spectrum tilt or relaxing the other priors do not significantly alter our main conclusions. Finally, we discuss the information content of the BOSS power spectrum and show that it is dominated by the location of the baryon acoustic oscillations and the power spectrum shape. We argue that the contribution of the Alcock-Paczynski effect is marginal in $\Lambda$CDM, but becomes important for non-minimal cosmological models.

Multi-tracers, multi-surveys: a joint Fisher analysis of DESI+PFS

astro-ph.CO · 2026-04-28 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0 · 2 refs

A joint multi-tracer Fisher analysis of DESI and PFS cross-spectra calibrates bias parameters from data, improving forecasted constraints on fσ8 by 33%, neutrino mass by 80%, and Ωm by 49% compared to single-tracer baselines.

The Hubble tension: A decade review

astro-ph.CO · 2026-06-18 · conditional · novelty 3.0

Pure early or late fixes to the Hubble tension are tightly constrained; remaining options are combined early-late interacting dark energy or new physics at the local-to-homogeneous transition.
