We show that the baryonic oscillations expected in the galaxy power spectrum may be used as a "standard cosmological ruler'' to facilitate accurate measurement of the cosmological equation of state. Our approach involves a straight-forward measurement of the oscillation "wavelength'' in Fourier space, which is fixed by fundamental linear physics in the early Universe and hence is highly model-independent. We quantify the ability of future large-scale galaxy redshift surveys with mean redshifts z~1 and z~3 to delineate the baryonic peaks in the power spectrum, and derive corresponding constraints on the parameter w describing the equation of state of the dark energy. For example, a survey of three times the Sloan volume at z ~ 1 can produce a measurement with accuracy dw ~ 0.1. We suggest that this method of measuring the dark energy powerfully complements other probes such as Type Ia supernovae, and suffers from a different (and arguably less serious) set of systematic uncertainties.

    astro-ph.CO 2024-11 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    A data-vector-level systematic covariance from HOD variations is proposed for DESI full-shape fits, validated against parameter-level methods, and found to have minimal impact on DESI DR1 cosmological posteriors.

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Angular power spectra of 610 MHz radio halos show excess power-law fluctuations only in Abell 2744, requiring multiplicative C_ℓ ∝ ℓ^{-3} structure atop an exponential profile and consistent with ICM turbulence.

    astro-ph.CO 2019-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Survey-averaged Alcock-Paczynski parameters recover the BAO scale more accurately than single-redshift parameters in models with strong metric gradients, and a ~1% systematic remains that no constant AP scaling can remove.

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A template-based bispectrum-monopole BAO measurement is shown to be unbiased on simulations and, jointly with the power spectrum, to sharpen BAO constraints while exposing baryon-dark matter velocity biases.

    Gaia quasar proper motions show a significant quadrupole signal matching an axisymmetric Bianchi I anisotropy model, but the amplitude does not increase with redshift as the model requires and the inferred local shear...

    A transverse-BAO angular diameter distance at z≈1.725 is claimed from SDSS DR16 quasars, but the abstract (two shells: θ_BAO=1.911°±0.062° and 1.727°±0.081°, 3.4σ/3.0σ) contradicts the body (one shell: θ_BAO=1.928°±0....
