A normalized histogram of the number of galaxies as a function of distance from the center of Ho’oleilana. Error bars are computed using simulations fully reproducing the selection function of the data. Ho’oleilana, at a distance ﹩r\approx 150\,{h}_{75}^{-1}\,\mathrm{Mpc}﹩ from the central location, is well fit by a physical BAO model (red line). Compared to the expectations for a random field of galaxies (blue line), Ho’oleilana is detected at greater than 6σ significance as shown by the relative difference in χ 2 statistic.
