Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAOs) provide a "standard ruler" of known physical length, making it one the most promising probes nature dark energy (DE). The detection BAOs as an excess power in galaxy distribution at certain scale requires measuring positions and redshifts.

We investigate how the [O II] properties and morphologies of galaxies in clusters groups at z = 0.4–0.8 depend on projected local galaxy density, compare with field similar redshifts low z. In both nearby distant clusters, higher density regions contain proportionally fewer star-forming galaxies, average equivalent width is independent density. However, current star formation rate (SFR) seems to peak densities ~15-40 Mpc−2. At odds low-z results, high relation between fraction varies from...

The massive exploitation of cosmic voids for precision cosmology in the upcoming dark energy experiments, requires a robust understanding their internal structure, particularly density profile. We show that void profile is insensitive to radius both catalogue observed and from large cosmological simulation. However, simulated display remarkably different shapes, with former having much steeper profiles than latter. Sparsity can not be main reason this discrepancy, as we demonstrate recovered...

Using a sample of cosmic voids identified in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7, we study star formation activity void galaxies. The properties galaxies living are compared with those shells and control sample, representing general galaxy population. Void appear to form stars more efficiently than shell sample. This result can not be interpreted as consequence bias towards low masses underdense regions, subsamples same mass distribution also show statistically different specific...
