abstract

We measure the anisotropic clustering of the quasar sample from Data Release 16 (DR16) of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey IV extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (eBOSS). A sample of $343,708$ spectroscopically confirmed quasars between redshift $0.8<z<2.2$ are used as tracers of the underlying dark matter field. In comparison with DR14 sample, the final sample doubles the number of objects as well as the survey area. In this paper, we present the analysis in configuration space by measuring the two-point correlation function and decompose using the Legendre polynomials. For the full-shape analysis of the Legendre multipole moments, we measure the BAO distance and the growth rate of the cosmic structure. At an effective redshift of $z_{\rm eff}=1.48$, we measure the comoving angular diameter distance $D_{\rm M}(z_{\rm eff})/r_{\rm drag} = 30.66\pm0.88$, the Hubble distance $D_{\rm H}(z_{\rm eff})/r_{\rm drag} = 13.11\pm0.52$, and the growth rate $f\sigma_8(z_{\rm eff}) = 0.439\pm0.048$. The accuracy of these measurements is confirmed using an extensive set of mock simulations developed for the quasar sample. The uncertainties on the distance and growth rate measurements have been reduced substantially ($\sim 45\%$ and $\sim30\%$) with respect to the DR14 results. We also perform a BAO-only analysis to cross check the robustness of the methodology of the full-shape analysis. Combining our analysis with the Fourier space analysis, we arrive at $D^{\bf{c}}_{\rm M}(z_{\rm eff})/r_{\rm drag} = 30.22 \pm 0.79$, $D^{\bf{c}}_{\rm H}(z_{\rm eff})/r_{\rm drag} = 13.26 \pm 0.47$, and $f\sigma_8^{\bf{c}}(z_{\rm eff}) = 0.464 \pm 0.045$.

    First-year DESI BAO data are consistent with flat LambdaCDM and, when combined with CMB, show a 2.5-3.9 sigma preference for evolving dark energy (w0 > -1, wa < 0) that strengthens with certain supernova datasets.

    First model-light constraints on Ω_R + 3Ω_Q from Pantheon+ and BAO reconstructions are consistent with flat FLRW yet too broad to exclude percent-level backreaction.

    astro-ph.CO 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Bootstrap-based symbolic regression on supernova and BAO data finds mild 2-4 sigma deviations from FLRW consistency relations, which if real would rule out most FLRW-based solutions to cosmological tensions.

    DESI BAO+CMB yielding a positive present-day deceleration parameter q0≈0.10 (vs SDSS's q0≈−0.22) is explained by DESI's higher lowest effective redshift (0.295 vs 0.15), not by new physics.
