Description
We perform a tomographic analysis of structure growth and expansion rate
from the anisotropic galaxy clustering of the combined sample of Baryon
Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) Data Release 12, which covers
the redshift range of 0.2 < z < 0.75. In order to extract the
redshift information of anisotropic galaxy clustering, we analyse this
data set in nine overlapping redshift slices in configuration space and
perform the joint constraints on the parameters \big [D_ V × (r_
d^fid/r_ d), F_{AP}, fσ _8\big ] using the correlation function
multipoles. The analysis pipeline is validated using the
MultiDark-Patchy mock catalogues. We obtain a measurement precision of
1.5{{ per cent}}-2.9{{ per cent}} for D_ V × (r_ d^fid/r_ d),
5.2{{ per cent}}-9{{ per cent}} for FAP, and 13.3{{ per
cent}}-24{{ per cent}} for fσ8, depending on the
effective redshift of the slices. We report a joint measurement of \big
[ D_ V × (r_ d^fid/r_ d), F_{AP}, fσ _8\big ] with the full
covariance matrix in nine redshift slices. We use our joint baryon
acoustic oscillations and redshift-space distortions measurement
combined with external data sets to constrain the gravitational growth
index γ, and find γ = 0.656 ± 0.057, which is
consistent with the Λ Cold Dark Matter (ΛCDM) prediction
within 95 per cent confidence level.

The Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) contains the statistical information about the early seeds of the structure formation in our Universe. Its natural counterpart in the local universe is the distribution of galaxies that arises as a result of gravitational growth of those primordial and small density fluctuations.
