Clarke, Alan Bassett, Bruce Mathematics and Applied Mathematics Includes bibliographical references. The Baryon Acoustic Oscillations offer a powerful method of measuring cosmological distances and the expansion history of the Universe. Understanding of the BAO comes from linear physics and allows for accurate predictions of the BAO scale. This will result in accurate measurements of the parameters of the Universe. Currently, most BAO measurements assume a flat cosmology; this work seeks to investigate if the assumption of flatness provides inaccuracies in the measurement process. 2014-12-27T14:04:38Z 2014-12-27T14:04:38Z 2012 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/10211 eng application/pdf Department of Mathematics and Applied Mathematics Faculty of Science University of Cape Town |
