Resum
Measurements of the baryonic acoustic oscillation (BAO) peak in the redshift-space correlation function yield the angular diameter distance D A ( z ) and the Hubble parameter H ( z ) as a function of redshift, constraining the properties of dark energy and space curvature. We discuss the perturbations introduced in the galaxy correlation function by gravitational lensing through the effect of magnification bias and its cross correlation with the galaxy density. At the BAO scale, gravitational lensing adds a small and slowly varying component to the galaxy correlation function and does not change its shape significantly, through which the BAO peak is measured. The relative shift in the position of the BAO peak caused by gravitational lensing in the angle-averaged correlation function is 10 − 4 at z = 1 , rising to 10 − 3 at z = 2.5 . Lensing effects are stronger near the line of sight; however, the relative peak shift increases only to 10 − 3.3 and 10 − 2.4 at z = 1 and z = 2.5 , when the galaxy correlation is averaged within 5 degrees of the line of sight (containing only 0.4% of the galaxy pairs in a survey). Furthermore, the lensing contribution can be measured separately and subtracted from the observed correlation at the BAO scale.
