We investigate the anisotropic clustering of the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) Data Release 12 (DR12) sample, which consists of $1,198,006$ galaxies in the redshift range $0.2 < z < 0.75$ and a sky coverage of $10,252,$deg$^2$. We analyse this dataset in Fourier space, using the power spectrum multipoles to measure Redshift-Space Distortions (RSD) simultaneously with the Alcock-Paczynski (AP) effect and the Baryon Acoustic Oscillation (BAO) scale. We include the power spectrum monopole, quadrupole and hexadecapole in our analysis and compare our measurements with a perturbation theory based model, while properly accounting for the survey window function. To evaluate the reliability of our analysis pipeline we participate in a mock challenge, which resulted in systematic uncertainties significantly smaller than the statistical uncertainties. While the high-redshift constraint on $fsigma_8$ at $z_{rm eff}=0.61$ indicates a small ($sim 1.4sigma$) deviation from the prediction of the Planck $Lambda$CDM model, the low-redshift constraint is in good agreement with Planck $Lambda$CDM. This paper is part of a set that analyses the final galaxy clustering dataset from BOSS. The measurements and likelihoods presented here are combined with others in~citet{Alam2016} to produce the final cosmological constraints from BOSS.

We analyse the Baryon Acoustic Oscillation (BAO) signal of the final Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) data release (DR12). Our analysis is performed in Fourier-space, using the power spectrum monopole and quadrupole. The dataset include
s $1,198,006$ galaxies over the redshift range $0.2 < z < 0.75$. We divide this dataset into three (overlapping) redshift bins with the effective redshifts $zeff = 0.38$, $0.51$ and $0.61$. We demonstrate the reliability of our analysis pipeline using N-body simulations as well as $sim 1000$ MultiDark-Patchy mock catalogues, which mimic the BOSS-DR12 target selection. We apply density field reconstruction to enhance the BAO signal-to-noise ratio. By including the power spectrum quadrupole we can separate the line-of-sight and angular modes, which allows us to constrain the angular diameter distance $D_A(z)$ and the Hubble parameter $H(z)$ separately. We obtain two independent $1.6%$ and $1.5%$ constraints on $D_A(z)$ and $2.9%$ and $2.3%$ constraints on $H(z)$ for the low ($zeff=0.38$) and high ($zeff=0.61$) redshift bin, respectively. We obtain two independent $1%$ and $0.9%$ constraints on the angular averaged distance $D_V(z)$, when ignoring the Alcock-Paczynski effect. The detection significance of the BAO signal is of the order of $8sigma$ (post-reconstruction) for each of the three redshift bins. Our results are in good agreement with the Planck prediction within $Lambda$CDM. This paper is part of a set that analyses the final galaxy clustering dataset from BOSS. The measurements and likelihoods presented here are combined with others in~citet{Alam2016} to produce the final cosmological constraints from BOSS.
We explore the cosmological implications of anisotropic clustering measurements in configuration space of the final galaxy samples from Data Release 12 of the SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey. We implement a new detailed modelling of
the effects of non-linearities, galaxy bias and redshift-space distortions that can be used to extract unbiased cosmological information from our measurements for scales $s gtrsim 20,h^{-1}{rm Mpc}$. We combined the galaxy clustering information from BOSS with the latest cosmic microwave background (CMB) observations and Type Ia supernovae samples and found no significant evidence for a deviation from the $Lambda$CDM cosmological model. In particular, these data sets can constrain the dark energy equation of state parameter to $w_{rm DE}=-0.996pm0.042$ when assumed time-independent, the curvature of the Universe to $Omega_{k}=-0.0007pm 0.0030$ and the sum of the neutrino masses to $sum m_{ u} < 0.25,{rm eV}$ at 95 per cent CL. We explore the constraints on the growth rate of cosmic structures assuming $f(z)=Omega_{rm m}(z)^gamma$ and obtain $gamma = 0.609pm 0.079$, in good agreement with the predictions of general relativity of $gamma=0.55$. We compress the information of our clustering measurements into constraints on the parameter combinations $D_{rm V}(z)/r_{rm d}$, $F_{rm AP}(z)$ and $fsigma_8(z)$ at the effective redshifts of $z=0.38$, $0.51$ and $0.61$ with their respective covariance matrices and find good agreement with the predictions for these parameters obtained from the best-fitting $Lambda$CDM model to the CMB data from the Planck satellite.

(2016) to produce the final cosmological constraints from BOSS.
We perform a tomographic baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) analysis using the monopole, quadrupole and hexadecapole of the redshift-space galaxy power spectrum measured from the pre-reconstructed combined galaxy sample of the completed Sloan Digital
Sky Survey (SDSS-III) Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) Data Release (DR)12 covering the redshift range of $0.20<z<0.75$. By allowing for overlap between neighbouring redshift slices, we successfully obtained the isotropic and anisotropic BAO distance measurements within nine redshift slices to a precision of $1.5%-3.4%$ for $D_V/r_d$, $1.8% -4.2%$ for $D_A/r_d$ and $3.7% - 7.5%$ for $H r_d$, depending on effective redshifts. We provide our BAO measurement of $D_A/r_d$ and $H r_d$ with the full covariance matrix, which can be used for cosmological implications. Our measurements are consistent with those presented in citet{Acacia}, in which the BAO distances are measured at three effective redshifts. We constrain dark energy parameters using our measurements, and find an improvement of the Figure-of-Merit of dark energy in general due to the temporal BAO information resolved.

We present measurements of the local primordial non-Gaussianity parameter fNLloc from the clustering of 343,708 quasars with redshifts 0.8 < z < 2.2 distributed over 4808 square degrees from the final data release (DR16) of the extended Baryon acoust
ic Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (eBOSS), the largest volume spectroscopic survey up to date. Our analysis is performed in Fourier space, using the power spectrum monopole at very large scales to constrain the scale dependent halo bias. We carefully assess the impact of systematics on our measurement and test multiple contamination removal methods. We demonstrate the robustness of our analysis pipeline with EZ-mock catalogues that simulate the eBOSS DR16 target selection. We find $f_mathrm{NL}=-12pm 21$ (68% confidence) for the main clustering sample including quasars with redshifts between 0.8 and 2.2, after exploiting a novel neural network scheme for cleaning the DR16 sample and in particular after applying redshift weighting techniques, designed for non-Gaussianity measurement from large scales structure, to optimize our analysis, which improve our results by 37%.
With the largest spectroscopic galaxy survey volume drawn from the SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS), we can extract cosmological constraints from the measurements of redshift and geometric distortions at quasi-linear scales (e.
g. above 50 $h^{-1}$Mpc). We analyze the broad-range shape of the monopole and quadrupole correlation functions of the BOSS Data Release 12 (DR12) CMASS galaxy sample, at the effective redshift $z=0.59$, to obtain constraints on the Hubble expansion rate $H(z)$, the angular-diameter distance $D_A(z)$, the normalized growth rate $f(z)sigma_8(z)$, and the physical matter density $Omega_mh^2$. We obtain robust measurements by including a polynomial as the model for the systematic errors, and find it works very well against the systematic effects, e.g., ones induced by stars and seeing. We provide accurate measurements ${D_A(0.59)r_{s,fid}/r_s$ $rm Mpc$, $H(0.59)r_s/r_{s,fid}$ $km s^{-1} Mpc^{-1}$, $f(0.59)sigma_8(0.59)$, $Omega_m h^2}$ = ${1427pm26$, $97.3pm3.3$, $0.488 pm 0.060$, $0.135pm0.016}$, where $r_s$ is the comoving sound horizon at the drag epoch and $r_{s,fid}=147.66$ Mpc is the sound scale of the fiducial cosmology used in this study. The parameters which are not well constrained by our galaxy clustering analysis are marginalized over with wide flat priors. Since no priors from other data sets, e.g., cosmic microwave background (CMB), are adopted and no dark energy models are assumed, our results from BOSS CMASS galaxy clustering alone may be combined with other data sets, i.e., CMB, SNe, lensing or other galaxy clustering data to constrain the parameters of a given cosmological model. The uncertainty on the dark energy equation of state parameter, $w$, from CMB+CMASS is about 8 per cent. The uncertainty on the curvature fraction, $Omega_k$, is 0.3 per cent. We do not find deviation from flat $Lambda$CDM.
