We present an analytic model of nonlinear correlators of galaxy/halo ellipticities in redshift space. The three-dimensional ellipticity field is not affected by the redshift-space distortion (RSD) at linear order, but by the nonlinear one,…
We investigate the effect of redshift-space distortions in the power spectrum parallel and perpendicular to the observer's line of sight, P(k_par,k_perp), using the optically selected Durham/UKST Galaxy Redshift Survey. On small, non-linear…

Redshift space distortion (RSD) observed in galaxy redshift surveys is a powerful tool to test gravity theories on cosmological scales, but the systematic uncertainties must carefully be examined for future surveys with large statistics.…
We study the non-Gaussian tail of the probability distribution function of density in cosmological N-Body simulations for a variety of initial conditions. We compare the behaviour of the non-Gaussian tail in the real space with that in the…
Direct measurements of peculiar velocities of galaxies and clusters of galaxies can in principle provide explicit information on the three dimensional mass distribution, but this information is modulated by the fact that velocity field is…
In this paper, we develop a theory of redshift distortion of the galaxy power spectrum in the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) representation. Because the DWT power spectrum is dependent of both the scale and shape (configuration) of the…
An accurate theoretical template of the redshift-space galaxy power spectrum, if applicable out to nonlinear scales, enables us to extract more stringent and robust constraints on cosmological parameters from the measured galaxy clustering.…
We quantify the degree of nonlinearity and stochasticity of the clustering of biased objects, using cosmological N-body simulations. Adopting the peaks and the halos as representative biasing models, we focus on the two-point correlation of…
We extend the concept of galaxy environment from the local galaxy number density to the gravitational potential and its functions like the shear tensor. For this purpose we examine whether or not one can make an accurate estimation of the…
