We also present the algorithms used to create large scale structure catalogues for the final Data Release (DR12) samples and the associated random catalogues that quantify the survey mask.

The baryonic acoustic feature is used to obtain model independent constraints cz/H/r_s = 12. 28 +- 0. 82 (6. 7 per-cent accuracy) and D_A/r_s = 9. 05 +- 0. 27 (3. 0 per-cent) with a correlation coefficient of -0. 5, where r_s is the sound horizon scale at the end of the baryonic drag era.
