We present the first measurement of the angular correlation function in a $K$-selected galaxy survey, from two fields covering almost 10 square degrees. The angular correlation function at small angles is well described by a $\theta^{-0.8}$…

We present a theoretical model which aims at predicting the clustering properties of X-ray clusters in flux-limited surveys for different cosmological scenarios. The model uses the theoretical and empirical relations between mass,…

We investigate the large-scale distribution of galaxy clusters taken from several X-ray catalogs. Different statistics of clustering like the conditional correlation function (CCF) and the minimal spanning tree (MST) as well as void…

This is the first in a series of papers on the weak lensing effect caused by clusters of galaxies in Sloan Digital Sky Survey. The photometrically selected cluster sample, known as MaxBCG, includes ~130,000 objects between redshift 0.1 and…

This paper reviews the measurements of galaxy correlations at high redshifts, and discusses how these may be understood in models of hierarchical gravitational collapse. The clustering of galaxies at redshift one is much weaker than at…
