We measure the real-space galaxy power spectrum on large scales at redshifts 0.5 to 1.2 using optical colour-selected samples from the CFHT Legacy Survey. With the redshift distributions measured with a preliminary ~14000 spectroscopic…

Large SZ selected galaxy cluster surveys are beginning imminently. We compare the dependence of the galaxy cluster angular power spectrum on cosmological parameters, different modeling assumptions and statistical observational errors. We…

We present a new statistical analysis of the large-scale stellar mass distribution in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (data release 7). A set of volume-limited samples shows that the stellar mass of galaxies is concentrated in a range of…

We cross-correlate the 100 um Improved Reprocessing of the IRAS Survey (IRIS) map and galaxy clusters at 0.1 < z < 0.3 in the maxBCG catalogue taken from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, measuring an angular cross-power spectrum over multipole…

We measured the two dimensional galaxy--galaxy correlation function from the Muenster Red Sky Survey (Ungruhe 1999). This survey has a slightly larger surface as the APM survey and complete up to r_F<18.3 mag (z_{med} \sim 0.14). The large…

We present new evidence for a large deficiency in the local galaxy distribution situated in the 4000 sq.deg. APM survey area. We use models guided by the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS) n(z) as a probe of the underlying LSS. We first…

The 2-point angular correlation function of galaxies, \wt, has been computed on equatorial fields observed with the CTIO 4m prime focus, within a total area of 2.31 deg$^2$. In the magnitude range $19\le m_R \le 21.5$, corresponding to…

We calculate the systematic errors in the weak gravitational lensing power spectrum which would be caused by spatially varying calibration (i.e. multiplicative) errors, such as might arise from uncorrected seeing or extinction variations.…

We investigate the large-scale structure of the local galaxy distribution using the recently completed 2 Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS). First, we determine the K-band number counts over the 4000 sq.deg. APM survey area where evidence for a…

We estimate the two-point angular correlation function (CF) of quasars from SDSS DR3 using a special method of comparison random catalog generation. The best-fit value for the CF power-law index is found to be $\alpha=0.78\pm0.18$ on the…

Forthcoming galaxy surveys will provide measurements of galaxy clustering with an unprecedented level of precision, that will require comparably good accuracy. Current models for galaxy correlations rely on approximations and idealizations…

We have measured the angular correlation function w(theta) for a sample of 871 Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs) at z=3. Fitting a power-law to a weighted average of w(theta) from 5 fields, we find the amplitude to be A_w=2 arcsec^{\beta} and the…

We measure the angular power spectrum of radio galaxies in the NRAO VLA Sky Survey (NVSS) using two independent methods: direct spherical harmonic analysis and maximum likelihood estimation. The results are consistent and can be understood…

We present an analysis of the 2-point correlation function, of the X-ray Brightest Abell-type Cluster sample (XBACs; Ebeling et al. 1998) and of the cosmological constraints that it provides. If \xi(r) is modelled as a power-law, we find…
