The UH8K wide field camera of the CFHT was used to image 0.68 deg^2 of sky. From these images, ~20,000 galaxies were detected to completeness magnitudes V<23.5 and I<22.5. The angular correlation function of these galaxies is well…

(abridged) We present measurements of galaxy-galaxy lensing from early commissioning imaging data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). We measure a mean tangential shear around a stacked sample of foreground galaxies in three…

The properties of the galaxy distribution at large scales are usually studied using statistics which are assumed to be self-averaging inside a given sample. We present a new analysis able to quantitatively map galaxy large scale structures…

We calculate the redshift-space power spectrum of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Luminous Red Galaxy (LRG) sample, finding evidence for a full series of acoustic features down to the scales of ~0.25 h Mpc^{-1}. This corresponds up to…

We present bright galaxy number counts in five broad bands ($u', g', r', i', z'$) from imaging data taken during the commissioning phase of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). The counts are derived from two independent stripes of imaging…

We discuss some of the basic implications of recent results on galaxy correlations published by the SDSS collaboration. In particular we focus on the evidence which has been recently presented for the scale and nature of the transition to…

We investigate the clustering properties of galaxies in the recently completed ELAIS-S1 redshift survey through their spatial two point autocorrelation function. We used a sub-sample of the ELAIS-S1 catalog covering approximately 4 deg^2…

Significant uncertainties exist in the measured amplitude of the angular two-point correlation function of galaxies at magnitudes $I\approx26$ and fainter. Published results from HST and ground-based galaxy catalogs seem to differ by as…

We present galaxy-galaxy lensing measurements over scales 0.025 to 10 Mpc/h in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Using a flux-limited sample of 127,001 lens galaxies with spectroscopic redshifts and mean luminosity <L> = L_* and 9,020,388…

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 measure the variance in the distribution of off-plane (|b|>20 deg.) galaxies with m_K<13.5 from the 2MASS K-band survey in circles of diameter between 0.344 deg. and 57.2 deg. The use of a near-infrared survey makes negligible the…
