摘要
重子振荡光谱巡天 (BOSS) 旨在比以往所有大尺度结构光谱巡天的综合努力更大的体积内，测量物质成团性中的重子声学振荡 (BAO) 尺度。BOSS 利用 10,000 平方度内暗至 i=19.9 的 150 万个亮星系，测量红移 z<0.7 范围内的 BAO。对 150,000 多个类星体光谱 (g<22) 中莱曼森林里的中性氢的观测，将限制红移范围 2.15<z<3.5 内的 BAO。BOSS 的早期结果包括首次探测到莱曼森林的大尺度三维成团性，以及从数据发布 9 (Data Release 9) 数据集中强烈探测到有效红移 z = 0.57 处大质量星系成团性中的 BAO。我们预测，BOSS 将在红移 z=0.3 和 z=0.57 处以 1.0% 的精度测量角直径距离 D_A，并在相同红移处以 1.8% 和 1.7% 的精度测量 H(z)。对莱曼森林约束的预测表明，当巡天完成时，将在 z~2.5 处以 1.9% 的精度测量一个整体膨胀因子，该因子缩放高度简并的 D_A(z) 和 H^{-1}(z) 参数。在此，我们概述了 BOSS 的光谱目标选择、观测规划以及数据和数据质量的分析。
