Optimal redshift weighting on eBOSS QSO full-shape data reduces uncertainties on H0 by 43.3%, σ8 by 19.7%, w0 by 20.5% and produces a bounded posterior on wa in the CPL model.

abstract
Future baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) surveys will survey very large volumes, covering wide ranges in redshift. We derive a set of redshift weights to compress the information in the redshift direction to a small number of modes. We suggest that such a compression preserves almost all of the signal for most cosmologies, while giving high signal-to-noise measurements for each combination. We present some toy models and simple worked examples. As an intermediate step, we give a precise meaning to the "effective redshift" of a BAO measurement.

Cosmological inference from the eBOSS QSO full-shape analysis with optimal redshift weights
Optimal redshift weighting on eBOSS QSO full-shape data reduces uncertainties on H0 by 43.3%, σ8 by 19.7%, w0 by 20.5% and produces a bounded posterior on wa in the CPL model.
