Context. Studies of galaxy pairs can provide valuable information to jointly understand the formation and evolution of galaxies and galaxy groups. Consequently, taking into account the new high precision photo-z surveys, it is important to…

In the present study, we use the DES Y3 catalog of LRG to incorporate the realistic galaxies' redshift Probability Distribution Function(PDF) into the correlation function cosmological model. We used four different photo-z estimators ANNz2,…
