This paper investigates the clustering properties of a complete sample of 1041 24um-selected sources brighter than F[24um]=400 uJy in the overlapping region between the SWIRE and UKIDSS UDS surveys. We have concentrated on the two…

We measure the projected 2-point correlation function of galaxies in the 180 deg$^2$ equatorial regions of the GAMA II survey, for four different redshift slices between z = 0.0 and z=0.5. To do this we further develop the Cole (2011)…

We present results on the clustering of 282,068 galaxies in the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) sample of massive galaxies with redshifts 0.4<z<0.7 which is part of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III project. Our results cover…

A comparison of the correlation lengths of red galaxies with blue can provide a new cosmic ruler. Using 269,000 galaxies from the SDSS DR6 survey, I show that the 3D correlation length averaged over many clusters remains very nearly…

The LCIR Survey, using the Cambridge IR Survey Instrument (CIRSI), reaches H \~ 20-21 over ~1 deg^2. We present results for 744 arcmin^2 in which public UBVRI data exist. We compare optical-IR colours with predictions of a semi-analytic…

We present an analysis of the two-point angular correlation function of the ELAIS S1 survey. The survey covers 4 deg$^2$ and contains 462 sources detected at 15$\mu$m to a 5$\sigma$ flux limit of 0.45 mJy. Using the 329 extragalactic…

We present results from an investigation of the clustering evolution of field galaxies between a redshift of z~1 and the present epoch. The current analysis relies on a sample of ~3600 galaxies from the Calar Alto Deep Imaging Survey…

Using a suite of $N$-body simulations we study the angular clustering of galaxies, halos, and dark matter in $\mathrm{\Lambda \text{CDM}}$ and Modified Gravity (MG) scenarios. We consider two general categories of such MG models, one is the…

We introduce a novel technique for empirically understanding galaxy evolution. We use empirically determined stellar evolution models to predict the past evolution of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-II) Luminous Red Galaxy (LRG) sample…

We examine masses of hosting haloes of two photometrically-selected high-z galaxy samples: the old passively-evolving galaxies (OPEGs) and Lyman Break Galaxies (LBGs) both taken from the Subaru/XMM-Newton Deep Survey (SXDS). The large…

Daddi et al. have recently reported strong clustering of a population of red galaxies at z~3 in the Hubble Deep Field-South. Fitting the observed angular clustering with a power law of index -0.8, they infer a comoving correlation length…

We measure the evolution of galaxy clustering out to a redshift of z~1.5 using data from two MUSYC fields, the Extended Hubble Deep Field South (EHDF-S) and the Extended Chandra Deep Field South (ECDF-S). We use photometric redshift…
