We show that the baryonic oscillations expected in the galaxy power spectrum may be used as a "standard cosmological ruler'' to facilitate accurate measurement of the cosmological equation of state. Our approach involves a straight-forward measurement of the oscillation "wavelength'' in Fourier space, which is fixed by fundamental linear physics in the early Universe and hence is highly model-independent. We quantify the ability of future large-scale galaxy redshift surveys with mean redshifts z~1 and z~3 to delineate the baryonic peaks in the power spectrum, and derive corresponding constraints on the parameter w describing the equation of state of the dark energy. For example, a survey of three times the Sloan volume at z ~ 1 can produce a measurement with accuracy dw ~ 0.1. We suggest that this method of measuring the dark energy powerfully complements other probes such as Type Ia supernovae, and suffers from a different (and arguably less serious) set of systematic uncertainties.

  1. DESI DR2 Results II: Measurements of Baryon Acoustic Oscillations and Cosmological Constraints

    astro-ph.CO 2025-03 accept novelty 7.0

    DESI DR2 BAO data exhibits 2.3 sigma tension with CMB in Lambda-CDM but prefers evolving dark energy (w0 > -1, wa < 0) at 3.1 sigma with CMB and 2.8-4.2 sigma when including supernovae.

  2. DESI 2024 VI: Cosmological Constraints from the Measurements of Baryon Acoustic Oscillations

    astro-ph.CO 2024-04 accept novelty 7.0

    First-year DESI BAO data are consistent with flat LambdaCDM and, when combined with CMB, show a 2.5-3.9 sigma preference for evolving dark energy (w0 > -1, wa < 0) that strengthens with certain supernova datasets.

  3. A Simulation Based Inference Approach to Modelling of Type Ia Supernova Populations

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    A simulation-based inference pipeline (Stjörnumál) fits SN Ia dust and intrinsic scatter models to DES 5-year data, enabling fast Bayesian model comparison across seven SN Ia population models.

  4. Intensity fluctuations of radio halo in galaxy cluster: Insights from power spectrum estimation

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    Angular power spectra of 610 MHz radio halos show excess power-law fluctuations only in Abell 2744, requiring multiplicative C_ℓ ∝ ℓ^{-3} structure atop an exponential profile and consistent with ICM turbulence.

  5. Bispectrum BAO and the baryon-dark matter relative velocity

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0

    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.

    Gaia quasar proper motions show a significant quadrupole signal matching an axisymmetric Bianchi I anisotropy model, but the amplitude does not increase with redshift as the model requires and the inferred local shear...

    gr-qc 2026-01 conditional novelty 4.0

    A viscous version of unimodular gravity fits late-time cosmological data as well as ΛCDM, but the fitted viscosity is consistent with zero and the claimed energy nonconservation is not statistically significant.
