Observing large scale structure in redshift space gives rise to the well known redshift space distortions whereby a spherical distribution of galaxies is distorted into an ellipsoid along the line of sight of the observer. This effect is…

We propose cosmological redshift-space distortion of correlation functions of galaxies and quasars as a probe of both the density parameter $\Omega_0$ and the cosmological constant $\lambda_0$. In particular, we show that redshift-space…
Gravitational redshift imprints a slight asymmetry in the observed clustering of galaxies, producing odd multipoles (e.g.\ the dipole) in the cross-correlation function. But there are other sources of asymmetry which must also be considered…
