We have used the Optical Redshift Survey (ORS; Santiago et al. 1995) to construct the gravity field due to fluctuations in the galaxy density field out to distances of 8000 km/s. At large scales where linear theory applies, the comparison…

I review progress in the past few years in studying the large-scale structure of the universe through redshift surveys of galaxies. Of the many statistical methods used to describe the galaxy distribution, I concentrate here on the power…

Gravitational waves from inspiraling compact binaries are known to be an excellent absolute distance indicator, yet it is unclear whether electromagnetic counterparts of these events are securely identified for measuring their redshifts,…

Although redshift-space distortions only affect inferred distances and not angles, they still distort the projected angular clustering of galaxy samples selected using redshift dependent quantities. From an Eulerian view-point, this effect…

We present a formulation of observed number density fluctuations of gravitational-wave (GW) sources in a three dimensional space. In GW observations, redshift identification for each GW source is a challenging issue, in particular, for high…

This work serves two-fold purpose. Firstly, we provide an alternative to the traditional method of determining the growth rate of density perturbations $f(z)$. In usual practice, $f(z)$ can not be directly measured from tracer clustering at…

In this work we investigate the evolution of matter density perturbations for two different quintessence models. One of them is based on the Einstein theory of gravity, while the other is based on the Brans-Dicke scalar tensor theory. We…

The peculiar motion of galaxies can be a particularly sensitive probe of gravitational collapse. As such, it can be used to measure the dynamics of dark matter and dark energy as well the nature of the gravitational laws at play on…

Wojtak {\it et al} have stacked 7,800 clusters from the SDSS survey in redshift space. They find a small net blue-shift for the cluster galaxies relative to the brightest cluster galaxies, which agrees quite well with the gravitational…
