Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (0910.5224v1)
Published 27 Oct 2009 in astro-ph.CO, gr-qc, hep-ex, and hep-ph
Abstract: Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) are frozen relics left over from the pre-decoupling universe. They are the standard rulers of choice for 21st century cosmology, providing distance estimates that are, for the first time, firmly rooted in well-understood, linear physics. This review synthesises current understanding regarding all aspects of BAO cosmology, from the theoretical and statistical to the observational, and includes a map of the future landscape of BAO surveys, both spectroscopic and photometric.
