Degeneracy between redshift-space distortions and Alcock Pacyznski Redshift surveys measure the angular positions of galaxies and their redshifts, and these need to be translated to co-moving coordinates before we can measure clustering and compare directly with equation (1.1). We measure Redshift-Space Distortions (RSD) in the two-point correlation function of a sample of 63 163 spectroscopically identied galaxies with z<0:2, an epoch where there are currently only limited measurements, from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 7 Main Galaxy Sample. This paper is part of a set thatĪnalyses the final galaxy clustering dataset from BOSS. The Universe at different redshifts serve as a useful probe, which can helpĭistinguish between a model of the Universe based on dark energy and modelsīased on modified theories of gravity. We measure redshift space distortions in the two-point correlation function of a sample of 63 163 spectroscopically identified galaxies with z < 0. Our constraints on the growth rates of structure in We find a clear dependence of galaxy clustering on luminosity in both projected and redshift spaces, generally being stronger for more.

Since galaxy redshifts are not exact measures of distances, the galaxy distribution in redshift space is distorted with respect to the true distribution.
