We compute the bispectrum of the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS) and use it to measure the bias parameter of the galaxies. This parameter quantifies the strength of clustering of the galaxies relative to the mass in the Universe. By…

The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS) has already measured over 220,000 redshifts of nearby (z ~0.1) galaxies. It allows us to estimate fundamental cosmological parameters and to subdivide the survey into subsets according to the galaxy…
By studying the bispectrum of the galaxy distribution in the 2dF galaxy redhsift survey (2dFGRS), we have shown that 2dFGRS galaxies are unbiased tracers of the mass distribution. This allows us the break the degeneracy intrinsic to power…

We use the observed abundance and clustering of galaxies from the 2dFGRS to determine the matter density Omega_m and the linear amplitude of mass fluctuations sigma_8. We use a method based on the conditional luminosity function, which…
The large-scale structure in the distribution of galaxies is thought to arise from the gravitational instability of small fluctuations in the initial density field of the universe. A key test of this hypothesis is that superclusters of…

We re-examine the effects of redshift space distortion in all-sky galaxy redshift surveys in the formalism of spherical harmonics. Within this framework we show how one can treat both the large-scale linear effects, and the small-scale…
