MotivationMotivation• Luminous Red Galaxies (LRGs) provide a very
good observational sample to test models of galaxy formation and evolution.
• Excellent tracers of Large Scale Structure (LSS).

MotivationMotivation• Luminous Red Galaxies (LRGs) provide a very
good observational sample to test models of galaxy formation and evolution.
• Excellent tracers of Large Scale Structure.• 2 Point CF simple but powerful statistic.• Redshift-space distortions can provide
cosmological parameter constraints via Alcock-Paczyncski and clustering evolution (explained in due course)
• 2SLAQ extending SDSS LRGs to 0.4<z<0.8. • Extended redshift arm led to photo-z calibration• Proof of concept for future LRG studies e.g. BOSS

• Ratio of observed radial size to angular size, varies with cosmology:
• Have an intrinsically isotropic structure (e.g. the clustering of galaxies) and observe the radial/angular ratio (A&P, 1979; Ballinger, Peacock, Heavens ’96; Popowski+’98; Hoyle+’02; da Angela+’05; Kim&Croft+’07)
• Pros: Geometric test to determine ; no messy galaxy evolution; v. complimentary to BAOs.
• Cons: Peculiar velocities also affect isotropic structure.

Baryon Acoustic OscillationsBaryon Acoustic Oscillations• In the tightly coupled
baryon-photon fluid prior to Recombination, acoustic waves create a characteristic scale – the sound horizon, RS.
• At Recombination, vs 0, wave stalls and the imprint of RS, (BAO), is frozen (but still evolves gravitationally) in the matter, and later, galaxy correlation functions.
• Rs(z=1089) can be determined accurately with CMB (148 Mpc), so BAO become a very promising standard ruler, DA(z) and H(z).
