We independently analyse the LOWZ and CMASS galaxy samples: the LOWZ sample contains contains 361\,762 galaxies with an effective redshift of $z_{\rm LOWZ}=0.32$, and the CMASS sample consists of 777\,202 galaxies with an effective redshift of $z_{\rm CMASS}=0.57$. We extract the BAO peak position from the monopole power spectrum moment, $\alpha_0$, and from the $\mu^2$ moment, $\alpha_2$. We report $H(z_{\rm LOWZ})r_s(z_d)=(11.64\pm0.62)\cdot10^3\,{\rm km}s^{-1}$ and $D_A(z_{\rm LOWZ})/r_s(z_d)=6.85\pm0.17$ with a cross-correlation coefficient of $r_{HD_A}=0.42$, for the LOWZ sample; and $H(z_{\rm CMASS})r_s(z_d)=(14.56\pm0.38)\cdot10^3\,{\rm km}s^{-1}$ and $D_A(z_{\rm CMASS})/r_s(z_d)=9.42\pm0.13$ with a cross-correlation coefficient of $r_{HD_A}=0.51$, for the CMASS sample. We combine these results with the measurements of the BAO peak position in the monopole and quadrupole correlation function of the same dataset \citep[][companion paper]{Cuestaetal2015} and report the consensus values: $H(z_{\rm LOWZ})r_s(z_d)=(11.64\pm0.70)\cdot10^3\,{\rm km}s^{-1}$ and $D_A(z_{\rm LOWZ})/r_s(z_d)=6.76\pm0.15$ with $r_{HD_A}=0.35$ for the LOWZ sample; and $H(z_{\rm CMASS})r_s(z_d)=(14.66\pm0.42)\cdot10^3\,{\rm km}s^{-1}$ and $D_A(z_{\rm CMASS})/r_s(z_d)=9.47\pm0.13$ with $r_{HD_A}=0.54$ for the CMASS sample. dc.language.iso eng dc.relation.ispartof Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society en dc.rights Copyright © 2016 The Authors Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of the Royal Astronomical Society.
