We develop a new statistical method to reanalyse angular correlations between background QSOs and foreground galaxies that are supposed to be a consequence of dark matter inhomogeneities acting as weak gravitational lenses. The method is…
We announce the detection of correlations on angular scales of $\ga10'$ between optically bright, high-redshift, radio-loud QSOs with diffuse X-ray emission seen by ROSAT in the {\it All-Sky Survey}. These correlations reach significance…
We find angular correlations between high redshift radio selected QSOs from the 1 Jy Catalog and APM galaxies on ~1 degree scales. We demonstrate that observed correlations are qualitatively consistant with a gravitational lensing…
In a recent paper by Rodrigues-Williams \& Hogan (RH94), a correlation between high-redshift, optically-selected QSOs and Zwicky clusters was reported at a very high significance level. Due to the fairly bright flux threshold of the cluster…
Several recent studies show that bright, intermediate and high redshift optically and radio selected QSOs are positively correlated with nearby galaxies on a range of angular scales up to a degree. Obscuration by unevenly distributed…
We have studied the distribution of $B_J<20.5$ galaxies from the ROE/NRL COSMOS/UKST catalogue around two samples of $z>0.3$ QSOs with similar redshift distributions. The first sample is formed by 144 radio-loud QSOs from the Parkes…
We investigate the correlation of gravitational lensing of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) with several tracers of large-scale structure, including luminous red galaxies (LRGs), quasars, and radio sources. The lensing field is…
Gravitational lensing predicts an enhancement of the density of bright, distant QSOs around foreground galaxies. We measure this QSO-galaxy correlation w_qg for two complete samples of radio-loud quasars, the southern 1Jy and Half-Jansky…
Angular correlations of ultra-high energy cosmic rays with cosmologically distant sources may provide clues to these mysterious events. We compare cosmic ray tracks with energies above $ 10^{20}eV$ to a compilation of radio-loud compact QSO…
QSOs and radio-galaxies, together with the CMB, ``normal'' galaxies and clusters, represent the main source of information about the origin and evolution of the Large Scale Structure. They can be used either directly, as tracers of the…
We investigate the possibility that ultra high energy cosmic rays (E > 10^19 eV) are related to the distribution of matter on large scales. The large scale structure (LSS) data stems from the recent IRAS PSCz redshift survey. We present…
The angular two-point correlation function between background QSOs and foreground galaxies induced by gravitational lensing is derived. It is shown that the shape of this correlation function depends sensitively on the spectrum of the…
We have cross-correlated the galaxies from the IRAS 2 Jy redshift survey sample and the 0.7 Jy projected sample with the all-sky cosmic X-ray background (CXB) map obtained from the HEAO-1 A2 experiment. We have developed a formulation to…
We investigate correlation between the arrival directions of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) and the large-scale structure (LSS) of the Universe by using statistical quantities which can find the angular scale of the correlation. The…
For the past several years, our group has pursued a vigorous ground-based program aimed at understanding the nature of ultraluminous infrared galaxies. We recently published the results from a optical/near-infrared spectroscopic survey of a…
Recent observations show a population of active galaxies with milliarcseconds offsets between optical and radio emission. Such offsets can be an indication of extreme phenomena associated with supermassive black holes including relativistic…

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…
K-band imaging of a sample of 21 radiogalaxies with z \sim 1.5 reveals the existence of a statistical association of foreground galaxies with the positions of the radiosources. The excess is detected within a 1' radius at a high…
Radio galaxies are excellent at tracing large-scale structure due to their high bias. We present new results from the TONS08 radio galaxy redshift survey. We find unequivocal evidence for a huge (at least 80 x 80 x 100 Mpc^3)…
