We define Baryon Acoustic Oscillation (BAO) observables $\hat{d}_\alpha(z, z_c)$, $\hat{d}_z(z, z_c)$, and $\hat{d}_/(z, z_c)$ that do not depend on any cosmological parameter. From each of these observables we recover the BAO correlation…

Baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) represent one of the cleanest probes of dark energy, allowing for tests of the cosmological model through the measurement of distance and expansion rate from a 3D galaxy distribution. The signal appears at…

We measure the baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) observables $\hat{d}_\alpha(z, z_c)$, $\hat{d}_z(z, z_c)$, and $\hat{d}_/(z, z_c)$ as a function of redshift $z$ in the range 0.1 to 0.7 with Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) data release…

We reverse the logic behind the apparent existence of $H_0$-tension, to design diagnostics for cosmological models. The basic idea is that the non-constancy of $H_0$ inferred from observations at different redshifts is a null hypothesis…
