From Baryon Acoustic Oscillation measurements with Sloan Digital Sky Survey SDSS DR14 galaxies, and the acoustic horizon angle measured by the Planck Collaboration, we obtain Ωm=0.2724±0.0047, and h+0.020⋅∑mv=0.7038±0.0060, assuming flat space and a cosmological constant. We combine this result with the 2018 Planck “TT, TE, EE + lowE + lensing” analysis, and update a study of ∑mv with new direct measurements of σ8, and obtain ∑mv=0.27±0.08 eV assuming three nearly degenerate neutrino eigenstates. Measurements are consistent with Ωk=0, and Ωde(a)=ΩΛ constant.
