Title: The clustering of galaxies in the completed SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: Double-probe measurements from BOSS galaxy clustering and Planck data – towards an analysis without informative priors

Abstract

Here, we develop a new methodology called double-probe analysis with the aim of minimizing informative priors in the estimation of cosmological parameters. We extract the dark-energy-model-independent cosmological constraints from the joint data sets of Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) galaxy sample and Planck cosmic microwave background (CMB) measurement. We measure the mean values and covariance matrix of {R, la, Ωbh2, ns, log(As), Ωk, H(z), DA(z), f(z)σ8(z)}, which give an efficient summary of Planck data and 2-point statistics from BOSS galaxy sample, where R = √ΩmH20, and la = πr(z*)/rs(z*), z* is the redshift at the last scattering surface, and r(z*) and rs(z*) denote our comoving distance to z* and sound horizon at z* respectively. The advantage of this method is that we do not need to put informative priors on the cosmological parameters that galaxy clustering is not able to constrain well, i.e. Ωbh2 and ns. Using our double-probe results, we obtain Ωm = 0.304 ± 0.009, H0 = 68.2 ± 0.7, and σ8 = 0.806 ± 0.014 assuming ΛCDM; and Ωk = 0.002 ± 0.003 and w = –1.00 ± 0.07 assuming owCDM. The results show no tension with the flat ΛCDM cosmological paradigm. By comparing with the full-likelihoodmore » analyses with fixed dark energy models, we demonstrate that the double-probe method provides robust cosmological parameter constraints which can be conveniently used to study dark energy models. We extend our study to measure the sum of neutrino mass and obtain Σmν < 0.10/0.22 (68%/95%) assuming ΛCDM and Σmν < 0.26/0.52 (68%/95%) assuming wCDM. This paper is part of a set that analyses the final galaxy clustering dataset from BOSS.« less
