20 What is new in DR12 Work in progress! - New CCD extraction algorithm Unbiased estimator of counts More accurate propagation of errors (5% increase) Cleaner mean transmission Less sky residuals 20
21 What is new in DR12 - Throughput correction (Margala++2015) Due to different focal plane configurations between stars and quasars Uncorrected Corrected 21
22 - Null tests Build fake forests Compute correlations What is new in DR12 Expectation Measurement Work in progress! 22
23 What is new in DR12 - Systematics Contributions from sky model, calibration and galactic absorption Work in progress! No significant shift in the BAO peak estimates! 23
24 CONCLUSIONS Lyman-α forest BAO allows us to access expansion at z ~ 2.3 DR12 analysis: 15% more data Robust estimate of astrophysical and instrumental systematics Stay tuned! 24
