Updated cosmological constraints from 2D BAO measurements: a new compilation and comparison with DESI DR2

Abstract We investigate and update observational constraints on cosmological parameters within the $\Lambda$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> mml:miΛ</mml:mi> </mml:math> CDM and dynamical dark energy frameworks, using a new compilation of the transverse (or 2D) BAO data, measurements that provide a relatively model-independent estimate of the BAO angular scale at a given redshift. Firstly, we assess the consistency of this compilation with CMB-Planck data and recen
