We present the large-scale 3-point correlation function (3PCF) of the SDSS DR12 CMASS sample of $777,202$ Luminous Red Galaxies, the largest-ever sample used for a 3PCF or bispectrum measurement. We make the first high-significance…

The 3-Point Correlation Function (3PCF), which measures correlations between triplets of galaxies encodes information about peculiar velocities, which distort the observed positions of galaxies along the line of sight away from their true…
