The power spectrum (PS) of mass density fluctuations, in the range $0.05 \leq k \leq 0.2 \ihmpc$, is derived from the Mark III catalog of peculiar velocities of galaxies, independent of ``biasing". It is computed from the density field as…
We compute the angular power spectrum C_l from 1.5 million galaxies in early SDSS data on large angular scales, l<600. The data set covers about 160 square degrees, with a characteristic depth of order 1 Gpc/h in the faintest (21<r<22) of…
We compute the power spectrum of galaxy density fluctuations in a recently completed redshift survey of optically-selected galaxies in the southern hemisphere (SSRS2). The amplitude and shape of the SSRS2 power spectrum are consistent with…
