We examine the projected correlation of galaxies with mass from small scales (<few hundred kpc) where individual dark matter halos dominate, out to 15 Mpc where correlated large-scale structure dominates. We investigate these profiles as a…
We use N-body simulations to study evolution of galaxy clusters over the redshift interval 0 <= z <= 0.5 in cosmological models with a mixture of cold and hot dark matter (CHDM). Four different techniques are utilized: the cluster-cluster…
In the debate about galaxy correlation there are different questions which can be addressed separately: Which are the statistical methods able to properly detect scale invariance and describe, in general, the properties of irregular and…
We consider the model of random sequential adsorption, with depositing objects, as well as those already at the surface, decreasing in size according to a specified time dependence, from a larger initial value to a finite value in the large…
Aims: We measure the clustering properties for a large samples of u- (z~3), g- (z~4), and r- (z~5) dropouts from the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Legacy Survey (CFHTLS) Deep fields. Methods: Photometric redshift distributions along with…
We quantify galaxy correlations using two distinct three-dimensional samples from the first data release of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI): the Bright Galaxy Sample (BGS) and the Luminous Red Galaxy Sample (LRGS).…
This paper discusses if large scale galaxy distribution samples containing almost one million objects can be characterized as fractal systems. The analysis performed by Teles et al. (2021; arXiv:2012.07164) on the UltraVISTA DR1 survey is…
An important problem in the analysis of experimental data showing fractal properties, is that such samples are composed by a set of points limited by an upper and a lower cut off. We study how finite size effect due to the discreteness of…
I outline the connections between some of the most widely used statistical measures of galaxy clustering and the fundamental issues in the theory of structure formation. I devote particular attention to the problem of biasing, i.e. to a…
We show that recently documented trends in galaxy sizes with mass and redshift can be understood in terms of the influence of underlying cosmic evolution; a holistic view which is complimentary to interpretations involving the accumulation…
We present the results of a study of the two-point correlation function for a sample of field galaxies taken from the CNOCI cluster survey. The sample consists of 144 galaxies within a contiguous region of space subtending 225 square…
Deviations from general relativity in order to explain cosmic acceleration generically have both time and scale dependent signatures in cosmological data. We extend our previous work by investigating model independent gravitational…
This work tests if the large-scale galaxy distribution can be characterized as a fractal system. The $\Lambda$CDM cosmology with $H_0=(70\pm 5)$ km/s/Mpc is adopted to study the UltraVISTA DR1, COSMOS2015 and SPLASH surveys, alongside the…
We follow the evolution of the galaxy population in a Lambda-CDM cosmology by means of high-resolution N-body simulations in which the formation of galaxies and their observable properties are calculated using a semi-analytic model. We…
Observations reveal that the Universe has a hierarchy of galaxy clustering with transition to homogeneity on large scales according to the $\Lambda$CDM model. On the other hand some observational estimates suggest a multifractal behavior…
The properties of spatial distribution of luminous matter are investigated analysing all the available three dimensional catalogues of galaxies. In standard view, galaxies are believed to have a fractal distribution at small scale with a…
We describe the results of a search for time variability of the fine structure constant, alpha, using absorption systems in the spectra of distant quasars. Three large optical datasets and two 21cm/mm absorption systems provide four…
Several recent measurements have been made of the angular correlation function $w(\theta,m)$ of faint galaxies in deep surveys (e.g., Hubble Deep Field, HDF). Are the measured correlations indicative of gravitational growth of primordial…
An initially highly biased value of the spatial correlation function, which decreases with time up to a transition redshift z_t ~ 1-2, was predicted theoretically at least as early as 1993, and shown to be consistent with the HDF-N angular…
All the recent redshift surveys show highly irregular patterns of galaxies on scales of hundreds of megaparsecs such as chains, walls and cells. One of the most powerful catalog of galaxies is represented by the LEDA database that contains…
