8 How: BOSS-LRG use galaxies (LRGs) as tracers of matter compute their correlation function C(r) or P(k), measure the position of the acoustic peak guaranteed (peak already observed in SDSS-II data)
9 How: BOSS-LRG C( r) = ρ( r 0 )ρ( r 0 + r) dn pairs d r estimated from the number of pairs of galaxies compare to random data sets (without BAOs) to remove FoV biases use galaxies (LRGs) as tracers of matter compute their correlation function C(r) or P(k), measure the position of the acoustic peak guaranteed (peak already observed in SDSS-II data)
10 How: BOSS-LRG vs SDSS-II 2x volume 5x density 10x statistics 1,600,000 LRGs SDSS main sample SDSS I+II BOSS (SDSS III)
11 How: BOSS-LRG vs SDSS-II SDSS-II data Einsenstein et al (2005) C(r) (a.u.) z~0.3 BAO peak 2x volume 5x densité 10x statistics 1,600,000 LRGs Distance (Mpc/h) SDSS main sample SDSS I+II BOSS (SDSS III)
12 How: BOSS-Lyα z=3 z=2 Distribution of matter sampled by lines of sight of QSO
13 How: BOSS-Lyα { z=3 z=2 15 Distribution of matter sampled by lines of sight of QSO 160,000 QSO expected Flux (a.u.) H H Lyα forest : neutral H absorption ! (nm)
14 How: BOSS-Lyα z=3 C( r) = ρ( r 0 )ρ( r 0 + r) <F(θ, λ)f (θ,λ ) > Estimated from correlations in the transmitted flux In principle little or no bias in the peak position, to be further studied in simulations z=2 15 { Distribution of matter sampled by lines of sight of QSO Flux (a.u.)

18 Current Status commissioning phase 3% of the final survey all Lyα commissioning data is being manually scanned Scan the data three times a day. If you don t know why the data will tell you. (P. Billoir)
19 zansatz = 1.90 Lyα SiIV CIV CIII MgII
20 zansatz = 2.10 Lyα SiIV CIV CIII MgII
21 zansatz = 2.00 SiIV CIV CIII MgII
22 zansatz = 2.05 Lyα SiIV CIV CIII MgII
23 Again...
24 And then, again...

31 BOSS Lyα challenges 3 #1: quasar surface density BAO Peak Resolution (%) estimate from commissioning ideal adapted from MacDonald et al (2005) QSO surface density (deg -2 )
32 BOSS Lyα challenges #2: fit of the continuum simulated QSO spetcrum continuum
33 BOSS Lyα challenges #2: fit of the continuum simulated QSO spetcrum continuum full spectrum impact of the continuum fit on the peak resolution needs to be estimated
34 Conclusions BOSS is taking data since last september in a stable way BOSS will make a precision ( 1%) measurement of the position of the BAO peak at z 0.6 (guaranteed) and z 2.5 (novel technique) This implies measurements of da(z) and H(z) at these z, and O(5%) measurements of w First scientific results in a year
