We produce mock angular catalogues from simulations with different initial power spectra to test methods that recover measures of clustering in three dimensions, such as the power spectrum, variance and higher order cumulants. We find that…

(abridged) We present a study of the angular correlation function as measured in the William Herschel Deep Field. This field covers 50 arcmin$^2$ and with it we are able to investigate the scaling of the angular correlation function to…

We present a new approach to measuring cosmic expansion history and growth rate of large scale structure using the anisotropic two dimensional galaxy correlation function (2DCF) measured from data; it makes use of the empirical modeling of…

We present results for the two-point angular correlation function of galaxies to a limiting magnitude of r=26. The final sample is 97% complete to r=26.0, yielding 5730 galaxies over a 90.1 sq. arcmin field. The correlation function for our…

We present a simple and efficient phenomenological model for the two-dimensional two-point galaxy correlation function that works well over a wide range of scales, from large scales down to scales as small as 25Mpc/h. Our model incorporates…

We study the tomographic clustering properties of the photometric cluster catalogue derived from the Third Data Release of the Kilo Degree Survey, focusing on the angular correlation function and its spherical harmonic counterpart, the…

The two point angular correlation function is an excellent measure of structure in the universe. To extract from it the three dimensional power spectrum, one must invert Limber's Equation. Here we perform this inversion using a Bayesian…

We present the first analysis of large-scale clustering from the Spitzer Wide-area InfraRed Extragalactic legacy survey: SWIRE. We compute the angular correlation function of galaxies selected to have 3.6 micron fluxes brighter than 32 muJy…

We discuss and compare two alternative models for the two-point angular correlation function of galaxies detected through the sub-millimetre emission using the Herschel Space Observatory. The first, now-standard Halo Model, which represents…

The popular halo model predicts that the power spectrum of the galaxy fluctuations is simply the sum of the large scale linear halo-halo power spectrum and the weighted power spectrum of the halo profile. Previous studies have derived halo…

We correlate the positions of radio galaxies in the FIRST survey with the CMB lensing convergence estimated from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope over 470 square degrees to determine the bias of these galaxies. We remove optically…

In order to construct accurate point sources simulations at the frequencies relevant to 21-cm experiments, the angular correlation of radio sources must be taken into account. This paper presents a measurement of angular two-point…

We present a determination of the real space correlation function for galaxies in the APM Survey, with magnitudes in the range $17 < b_J < 20$. We recover a power law form for the correlation function $\xi(r) = (r/4.5)^{-1.7}$ on scales $r…
