Low redshift measurements of Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) test the late time evolution of the Universe and are a vital probe of Dark Energy. Over the past decade both the 6-degree Field Galaxy Survey (6dFGS) and Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) have provided important distance constraints at $z < 0.3$. In this paper we re-evaluate the cosmological information from the BAO detection in 6dFGS making use of HOD populated COLA mocks for a robust covariance matrix and taking advantage of the now commonly implemented technique of density field reconstruction. For the 6dFGS data, we find consistency with the previous analysis, and obtain an isotropic volume averaged distance measurement of $D_{V}(z_{mathrm{eff}}=0.097) = 372pm17(r_{s}/r_{s}^{mathrm{fid}}),mathrm{Mpc}$, which has a non-Gaussian likelihood outside the $1sigma$ region. We combine our measurement from both the post-reconstruction clustering of 6dFGS and SDSS MGS offering the most robust constraint to date in this redshift regime, $D_{V}(z_{mathrm{eff}}=0.122)=539pm17(r_{s}/r^{mathrm{fid}}_{s}),mathrm{Mpc}$. These measurements are consistent with standard $Lambdamathrm{CDM}$ and after fixing the standard ruler using a Planck prior on $Omega_{m}h^{2}$, the joint analysis gives $H_{0}=64.0pm3.5,mathrm{kms}^{-1}mathrm{Mpc}^{-1}$. In the near future both the Taipan Galaxy Survey and the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) will improve this measurement to $1%$ at low redshift.

This thesis presents the analysis of the clustering of galaxies in the 6dF Galaxy Survey (6dFGS). At large separation scales the baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) signal is detected which allows to make an absolute distance measurement at $z_{rm eff}
= 0.106$. Such a measurement can be used to constrain the Hubble constant, $H_0 = 67.0pm3.2;$km s$^{-1};$Mpc$^{-1}$ (4.8% precision). Modelling the 2D galaxy correlation function of 6dFGS, $xi(r_p,pi)$, allows a measure of the parameter combination $f(z_{rm eff})sigma_8(z_{rm eff}) = 0.423 pm 0.055$, where $f simeq Omega_m^{gamma}(z)$ is the growth rate of cosmic structure and $sigma_8$ is the r.m.s. of matter fluctuations in $8h^{-1},$Mpc spheres. Such a measurement allows to test the relationship between matter and gravity on cosmic scales by constraining the growth index of density fluctuations, $gamma$. The 6dFGS measurement of $fsigma_8$ combined with WMAP-7, results in $gamma = 0.547 pm 0.088$, consistent with the prediction of General Relativity ($gamma_{rm GR} approx 0.55$). The last chapter of this thesis studies the stellar-mass dependence of galaxy clustering in the 6dF Galaxy Survey. Using the Halo Occupation Distribution (HOD) model, this analysis investigates the trend of dark matter halo mass and satellite fraction with stellar mass by measuring the projected correlation function, $w_p(r_p)$. The findings of this analysis are, that the typical halo mass ($M_1$) as well as the satellite power law index ($alpha$) increase with stellar mass. The 6dFGS results are compared to two different semi-analytic models derived from the Millennium Simulation, as well as weak lensing measurements.
The extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (eBOSS) Data Release 14 sample includes 80,118 Luminous Red Galaxies. By combining these galaxies with the high-redshift tail of the BOSS galaxy sample, we form a sample of LRGs at an effective red
shift $z=0.72$, covering an effective volume of 0.9~Gpc$^3$. We introduce new techniques to account for spurious fluctuations caused by targeting and by redshift failures which were validated on a set of mock catalogs. This analysis is sufficient to provide a $2.6$% measurement of spherically averaged BAO, $D_V(z=0.72) = 2353^{+63}_{-61} (r_d/r_{d,rm{fid}}) h^{-1}$Mpc, at 2.8$sigma$ of significance. Together with the recent quasar-based BAO measurement at $z=1.5$, and forthcoming Emission Line Galaxy-based measurements, this measurement demonstrates that eBOSS is fulfilling its remit of extending the range of redshifts covered by such measurements, laying the ground work for forthcoming surveys such as the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Survey and Euclid.
We present angular diameter measurements obtained by measuring the position of Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) in an optimised sample of galaxies from the first three years of Dark Energy Survey data (DES Y3). The sample consists of 7 million gala
xies distributed over a footprint of 4100 deg$^2$ with $0.6 < z_{rm photo} < 1.1$ and a typical redshift uncertainty of $0.03(1+z)$. The sample selection is the same as in the BAO measurement with the first year of DES data, but the analysis presented here uses three times the area, extends to higher redshift and makes a number of improvements, including a fully analytical BAO template, the use of covariances from both theory and simulations, and an extensive pre-unblinding protocol. We used two different statistics: angular correlation function and power spectrum, and validate our pipeline with an ensemble of over 1500 realistic simulations. Both statistics yield compatible results. We combine the likelihoods derived from angular correlations and spherical harmonics to constrain the ratio of comoving angular diameter distance $D_M$ at the effective redshift of our sample to the sound horizon scale at the drag epoch. We obtain $D_M(z_{rm eff}=0.835)/r_{rm d} = 18.92 pm 0.51$, which is consistent with, but smaller than, the Planck prediction assuming flat lcdm, at the level of $2.3 sigma$. The analysis was performed blind and is robust to changes in a number of analysis choices. It represents the most precise BAO distance measurement from imaging data to date, and is competitive with the latest transverse ones from spectroscopic samples at $z>0.75$. When combined with DES 3x2pt + SNIa, they lead to improvements in $H_0$ and $Omega_m$ constraints by $sim 20%$
(abridged) We describe the automated spectral classification, redshift determination, and parameter measurement pipeline in use for the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III (SDSS-III) as of Data Release 9
, encompassing 831,000 moderate-resolution optical spectra. We give a review of the algorithms employed, and describe the changes to the pipeline that have been implemented for BOSS relative to previous SDSS-I/
Baryon Acoustic Oscillations are considered to be a very robust standard ruler against various systematics. This premise has been tested against observational systematics, but not to the level required for the next generation of galaxy surveys such a
s the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) and Euclid. In this paper, we investigate the effect of observational systematics on the BAO measurement of the final sample of quasars from the extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey Data Release 16 in order to prepare and hone a similar analysis for upcoming surveys. We employ catalogues with various treatments of imaging systematic effects using linear and neural network-based nonlinear approaches and consider how the BAO measurement changes. We also test how the variations to the BAO fitting model respond to the observational systematics. As expected, we confirm that the BAO measurements obtained from the DR16 quasar sample are robust against imaging systematics well within the statistical error, while reporting slightly modified constraints that shift the line-of-sight BAO signal by less than 1.1% . We use realistic simulations with similar redshift and angular distributions as the DR16 sample to conduct statistical tests for validating the pipeline, quantifying the significance of differences, and estimating the expected bias on the BAO scale in future high-precision data sets. Although we find a marginal impact for the eBOSS QSO data, the work presented here is of vital importance for constraining the nature of dark energy with the BAO feature in the new era of big data cosmology with DESI and Euclid.
