Improving cosmological measurements from galaxy surveys

Reconstructing an estimate of linear Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) from an evolved galaxy field has become a standard technique in recent analyses. By partially removing non-linear damping caused by bulk motions, the real-space baryon acoustic peak in the correlation function is sharpened, and...
