Abstract:

We explore the cosmological implications of the angle-averagedcorrelation function, xi(s), and the clustering wedges, xi_perp(s) andxi_para(s), of the LOWZ and CMASS galaxy samples from Data Release 10and 11 of the SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey. Ourresults show no significant evidence for a deviation from the standardLCDM model. The combination of the information from our clusteringmeasurements with recent data from the cosmic microwave background issufficient to constrain the curvature of the Universe to Omega_k =
