Abstract:

We present a one per cent measurement of the cosmic distance scale fromthe detections of the baryon acoustic oscillations in the clustering ofgalaxies from the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS), whichis part of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III (SDSS-III). Our results comefrom the Data Release 11 (DR11) sample, containing nearly one milliongalaxies and covering approximately 8500 square degrees and the redshiftrange $0.2
