This is the first paper of a series where we study the clustering of LRG galaxies in the latest spectroscopic SDSS data release, DR6, which has 75000 LRG galaxies covering over 1 $Gpc^3/h^3$ at $0.15<z<0.47$. Here we focus on modeling…

We study the reduced skewness, $S_{3,g}\equiv\bar{\xi}_{3,g}/\bar{\xi}_{2,g}^2$ of galaxy distribution at $z=0.5$ in two families of modfied gravity models: the Hu-Sawicki $f(R)$-gravity and normal-branch of Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati (nDGP)…
The observed power spectrum in redshift space appears distorted due to the peculiar motion of galaxies, known as redshift-space distortions (RSD). While all the effects in RSD are accounted for by the simple mapping formula from real to…
