Fecha de publicación: | mar-2011 | Editor: | Wiley-Blackwell | Citación: | Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society - Letters 412 (1) : L98-L102 (2011) | Resumen: | Recent publications claim that there is no convincing evidence for measurements of the baryonic acoustic oscillation (BAO) feature in galaxy samples using either monopole or radial information. Different claims seem contradictory: data are either not consistent with the BAO model or data are consistent with both the BAO model and featureless models without BAO. We investigate this point with a set of 216 realistic mock galaxy catalogues extracted from MICE 7680, one of the largest volume dark matter simulation run to date, with a volume of 1300 cubical gigaparsecs. Our mocks cover similar volume, densities and bias as the real galaxies and provide 216 realizations of the lambda or ω=−1 cold dark matter (ωCDM) BAO model. We find that only 20 per cent of the mocks show a statistically significant (3σ) preference for the true (input) ωCDM BAO model as compared to a featureless (non-physical) model without BAO. Thus the volume of current galaxy samples is not yet large enough to claim that the BAO feature has been detected. Does this mean that we cannot locate the BAO position? Using a simple (non-optimal) algorithm we show that in 50 per cent (100 per cent) of the mocks, we can find the BAO position within 5 per cent (20 per cent) of the true value. These two findings are not in contradiction: the former is about model selection and the later is about parameter fitting within a model. We conclude that current monopole and radial BAO measurements can be used as standard rulers if we assume ωCDM type of models. | Descripción: | Publicado en línea el 11 de febrero de 2011 | Versión del editor: | http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1745-3933.2011.01012.x | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/37450 | DOI: | 10.1111/j.1745-3933.2011.01012.x | E-ISSN: | 1745-3933 |
