abstract

Pre-recombination acoustic oscillations induce non-adiabatic perturbations between baryons and dark matter, corresponding to a constant relative-density $\delta_{bc}$ and decaying relative-velocity perturbation $\vec{v}_{bc}$. Due to their significant large-scale correlations and prominent baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) features, these modes are potentially important for the use of the BAO as standard ruler. We present a complete treatment of the effects of the baryon-CDM perturbations on galaxy clustering in the context of a rigorous perturbative bias expansion. The leading effects are proportional to $\delta_{bc}$ and $\theta_{bc} = \partial_i v_{bc}^i$. We estimate the magnitude of these terms through the excursion set approach. The contribution from $v_{bc}^2$, which has attracted significant attention recently, contributes at subleading (1-loop) order. The relative-density contribution $\delta_{bc}$ is expected to be by far the largest contribution. We also point out contributions to the galaxy velocity bias, the largest of which is simply $v_{bc}$, leading to a term $\propto \mu^2\theta_{bc}$ in the redshift-space galaxy power spectrum $P_g^s(k,\mu)$. Complete expressions of the galaxy power spectrum at 1-loop order are given, which contain several new terms.

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Ignoring the percent-level phase offset between BAO and VAO features in the cosmic-dawn 21-cm power spectrum biases H(z) by ~2%; joint BAO–VAO templates are required for standard-ruler inference.

    astro-ph.CO 2025-10 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    An anti-symmetric 'shift' response in the clustering of two galaxy populations carries a 1/K equivalence-principle-violation signal, and a fast quadratic estimator can extract it at the same projected sensitivity as t...

    astro-ph.CO 2026-03 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    DDE sound modes induce scale-dependent growth and halo bias comparable to massless neutrinos; multi-tracer P+B forecasts detect it for c_s^{2} ~ 10^{-2}–10^{-4}, while lower speeds produce ~10% drag on cluster growth-...

    astro-ph.CO 2025-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    BOSS full-shape data do not tighten Planck bounds on velocity-dependent dark matter-baryon scattering, but adding a DES S8 prior yields a greater than 2 sigma preference for a velocity-independent cross section and lo...

    astro-ph.CO 2024-11 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    DESI DR1 full-shape galaxy clustering constrains Omega_m = 0.296 ± 0.010, H0 = 68.63 ± 0.79 km/s/Mpc, and sigma_8 = 0.841 ± 0.034, consistent with LambdaCDM and Planck.

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A template-based bispectrum-monopole BAO measurement is shown to be unbiased on simulations and, jointly with the power spectrum, to sharpen BAO constraints while exposing baryon-dark matter velocity biases.
