Mon, Nov 8 |
TCC / Astro Theory Seminar Measuring the Universe: Recent Developments in Baryon Acoustic Oscillations [abstract] I will discuss using baryon acoustic oscillations as a standard ruler
to measure the expansion rate of the Universe, focusing on recent
theoretical
and observational developments, On the theoretical side, I will
discuss developments in a perturbative description of nonlinear
effects, as well
as techniques to undo these nonlinearities. I will also present
initial results from the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey, that
aims to measure the
distance scale at redshifts of 0.3, 0.6, and 2.5. I will conclude with
comments on possible future surveys, including the proposed BigBOSS
survey. |
