Acoustic-scale distance ratio D_V(z) /r_drag in the base ΛCDM model divided by the mean distance ratio from Planck TT+lowP+lensing. The points with 1σ errors are as follows: green star (6dFGS, Beutler et al. 2011); square (SDSS MGS, Ross et al. 2015); red triangle and large circle (BOSS “LOWZ” and CMASS surveys, Anderson et al. 2014); and small blue circles (WiggleZ, as analysed by Kazin et al. 2014). The grey bands show the 68% and 95% confidence ranges allowed by Planck TT+lowP+lensing.
