The angular cross-correlation between two galaxy samples separated in redshift is shown to be a useful measure of weak lensing by large-scale structure. Angular correlations in faint galaxies arise due to spatial clustering of the galaxies…
The two-point correlation function (2PCF) is the most widely used tool for quantifying the spatial distribution of galaxies. Since the distribution of galaxies is determined by galaxy formation physics as well as the underlying cosmology,…

We have calculated the two-point correlation functions in redshift space, xi(sigma,pi), for galaxies of different spectral types in the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey. Using these correlation functions we are able to estimate values of the…
Building accurate and flexible galaxy-halo connection models is crucial in modeling galaxy clustering on non-linear scales. Recent studies have found that halo concentration by itself cannot capture the full galaxy assembly bias effect and…
Galaxy clustering and galaxy-galaxy lensing probe the connection between galaxies and their dark matter haloes in complementary ways. On one hand, the halo occupation statistics inferred from the observed clustering properties of galaxies…
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey is one of the first multicolor photometric and spectroscopic surveys designed to measure the statistical properties of galaxies within the local Universe. In this Letter we present some of the initial results on…
Galaxy clustering data can be used to measure the cosmic expansion history H(z), the angular-diameter distance D_A(z), and the linear redshift-space distortion parameter beta(z). Here we present a method for using effective multipoles of…
We present measurements of the higher-order clustering of red and blue galaxies as a function of scale and luminosity made from the two-degree field galaxy redshift survey (2dFGRS). We use a counts-in-cells analysis to estimate the volume…
The composite galaxy luminosity function (hereafter LF) of 39 Abell clusters of galaxies is derived by computing the statistical excess of galaxy counts in the cluster direction with respect to control fields. Due to the wide field coverage…

We report the results of the spatial two-point correlation function xi(r) for the new X-ray galaxy cluster survey REFLEX, which comprises of 452 X-ray selected clusters (449 with redshifts) detected by the ROSAT satellite during the ROSAT…
We use rich clusters of galaxies in the Northern and Southern Galactic hemispheres up to a redshift z=0.12 to determine the cluster correlation function. We show that superclusters of galaxies and voids between them form a moderately…
Faint red galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey show a puzzling clustering pattern in previous measurements. In the two-point correlation function (2PCF), they appear to be strongly clustered on small-scales, indicating a tendency to…
We use the Updated Zwicky Catalog of galaxies (Falco et al. 1999) to generate a catalog of groups, by means of a friend-of-friend algorithm. The correlation length of the total sample is well fitted with a power law $ \xi(r)=(r/r_0)^\gamma…
We adopt the two point correlation function (2PCF) as a statistical tool to quantify the spatial clustering of halo stars, for galaxy systems spanning a wide range in host halo virial mass ($11.25<\log_{10}M_{200c}/\mathrm{M}_\odot<15$) and…
We determine the spatial distribution function of galaxies from a wide range of samples in the 2MASS survey. The results agree very well with the form of the distribution predicted by the theory of cosmological gravitational many-body…
In this paper, we discuss improvements of the Suto et al. (2000) model, in the light of recent theoretical developments (new theoretical mass functions, a more accurate mass-temperature relation and an improved bias model) to predict the…
We investigate how different galaxy properties - luminosities in u, g, r, J, K-bands, stellar mass, star formation rate and specific star formation rate trace the environment in the local universe. We also study the effect of survey flux…
The 2-point correlation function of the galaxy spatial distribution is a major cosmological observable that enables constraints on the dynamics and geometry of the Universe. The Euclid mission aims at performing an extensive spectroscopic…
