Measuring the BAO scale at multiple redshifts

Adding information on the sound horizon scale

Constraints on the Hubble constant

CMB is sensitive to the sum of neutrino masses

Through:

  • angular diameter distance to recombination
  • neutrino effects in CMB lensing

But it's degenerate with the Hubble constant and matter density.

DESI pushes the constraints to lower masses

DESI + CMB + SN (Pantheon+, Union3 or DES SN5YR) excludes Λ at (2.5σ, 3.5σ, 3.9σ).

In the near future

  • Y1 full-shape

    measurements of the power spectrum
  • Y3 BAO

    following Y1 methodology
  • thecov

    v1 soon to be released for public use.
