We measure the two-point angular correlation function of a sample of 4,289,223 galaxies with r < 19.4 mag from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey as a function of photometric redshift, absolute magnitude and colour down to M_r - 5log h = -14 mag.…

The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey is the first to observe more than 100,000 redshifts. This allows precise measurements of many of the key statistics of galaxy clustering, in particular redshift-space distortions and the large-scale power…

We measure moments of the galaxy count probability distribution function in the two-degree field galaxy redshift survey (2dFGRS). The survey is divided into volume limited subsamples in order to examine the dependence of the higher order…

We have evaluated a systematic effect on counts-in-cells analysis of deep, wide-field galaxy catalogues induced by the evolution of clustering within the survey volume. A multiplicative correction factor is explicitly presented, which can…

Due to instrumental limitations, the nature of which vary from case to case, spectroscopic galaxy redshift surveys usually do not collect redshifts for all galaxies in the population of potential targets. Especially problematic is the…
