We generate artificial Lick maps using $N$--body simulations and compare the angular correlation function, $w(\vartheta)$, measured from the simulations with the APM correlation. For the Gaussian CDM model, neither the standard biassed…

The UH8K wide field camera of the CFHT was used to image 0.68 deg^2 of sky. From these images, ~20,000 galaxies were detected to completeness magnitudes V<23.5 and I<22.5. The angular correlation function of these galaxies is well…
(abridged) We present a study of the angular correlation function as measured in the William Herschel Deep Field. This field covers 50 arcmin$^2$ and with it we are able to investigate the scaling of the angular correlation function to…

The angular correlation is a method for measuring the distribution of structure in the Universe, through the statistical properties of the angular distribution of galaxies on the sky. We measure the angular correlation of galaxies from the…

A photometric survey of faint galaxies in three high Galactic latitude fields (each $\sim49~\rm{arcmin^{2}}$) with sub-arcsecond seeing is used to study the clustering properties of the faint galaxy population. Multi-color photometry of the…
We use ensembles of high-resolution CDM simulations to investigate the shape and amplitude of the two point correlation function of rich clusters. The standard scale-invariant CDM model with $\Omega=1$ provides a poor description of the…
We have measured the angular correlation function w(theta) for a sample of 871 Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs) at z=3. Fitting a power-law to a weighted average of w(theta) from 5 fields, we find the amplitude to be A_w=2 arcsec^{\beta} and the…
We calculate the angular correlation function of galaxies in the Two Micron All Sky Survey. We minimize the possible contamination by stars, dust, seeing and sky brightness by studying their cross correlation with galaxy density, and…
For faint photometric surveys our ability to quantify the clustering of galaxies has depended on interpreting the angular correlation function as a function of the limiting magnitude of the data. Due to the broad redshift distribution of…
We present measurements of the angular correlation function of galaxies selected from the first field of the H-ATLAS survey. Careful removal of the background from galactic cirrus is essential, and currently dominates the uncertainty in our…
We present measurements of the angular correlation function of galaxies selected from a B_J=23.5 multicolour survey of two 5 degree by 5 degree fields located at high galactic latitudes. The galaxy catalogue of approximately 400,000…
Current cosmological tensions motivate investigating extensions to the standard $\Lambda$CDM model. Additional model parameters are typically varied one or two at a time, in a series of separate tests. The purpose of this paper is to…
The 2-point angular correlation function of galaxies, \wt, has been computed on equatorial fields observed with the CTIO 4m prime focus, within a total area of 2.31 deg$^2$. In the magnitude range $19\le m_R \le 21.5$, corresponding to…
We detect a positive angular correlation between bright, high-redshift QSOs and foreground galaxies. The QSOs are taken from the optically selected LBQS Catalogue, while the galaxies are from the APM Survey. The correlation amplitude is…
We analyse the large-scale angular correlation function (ACF) of the CMASS luminous galaxies (LGs), a photometric-redshift catalogue based on the Data Release 8 (DR8) of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey-III. This catalogue contains over $600 \,…
