Baryon Acoustic Oscillations
Baryon Acoustic Oscillations are imprints of sound waves in the early universe that appear as a characteristic scale in the large-scale distribution of galaxies today. First predicted theoretically by Piet Peebles and Joseph Yu in 1970, and detected observationally by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey in 2005, BAO provides a standard ruler for measuring cosmic distances and constraining the expansion history of the universe.
