We measured the two dimensional galaxy--galaxy correlation function from the Muenster Red Sky Survey (Ungruhe 1999). This survey has a slightly larger surface as the APM survey and complete up to r_F<18.3 mag (z_{med} \sim 0.14). The large…
We present measurements of the two-point galaxy angular correlation function w(\theta) in the COSMOS field. Independent determinations of w(\theta) as a function of magnitude limit are presented for both the HST ACS catalog and also for the…
We use a simple analytic model to compute the angular correlation function of clusters identified in upcoming thermal SZ effect surveys. We then compute the expected fraction of close pairs of clusters on the sky that are also close along…
We present a determination of the real space correlation function for galaxies in the APM Survey, with magnitudes in the range $17 < b_J < 20$. We recover a power law form for the correlation function $\xi(r) = (r/4.5)^{-1.7}$ on scales $r…
We report results for the angular three-point galaxy correlation function in the APM survey and compare them with theoretical expectations. For the first time, these measurements extend to sufficiently large scales to probe the weakly…
Many different techniques to analyze galaxy clustering data and obtain cosmological constraints have been proposed, tested and used. Given the large amount of data that will be available soon, it is worth investigating new observables and…

We discuss how different theoretical predictions for the variance $\sigma^2$ of the distribution of radio sources can be matched to measurements from the FIRST survey at different flux limits. The predictions are given by the integration of…
The evolution of the cluster mass function and the cluster correlation function from z = 0 to z = 3 are determined using 10^6 clusters obtained from high-resolution simulations of the current best-fit LCDM cosmology (\Omega_m = 0.27,…
We cross-correlate APM and SDSS galaxies with background QSOs from the 2dF QSO Redshift Survey, and detect a significant (2.8sigma) anti-correlation. The lack of a signal between 2dF stars and our galaxy samples suggests the…
We present the galaxy-galaxy angular correlations as a function of photometric redshift in a deep-wide galaxy survey centered on the Hubble Deep Field South. Images were obtained with the Big Throughput Camera on the Blanco 4m telescope at…
We detect angular galaxy-QSO cross-correlations between the APM Galaxy Catalogue and a preliminary release (consisting of roughly half of the anticipated final catalogue) of the Hamburg-ESO Catalogue of Bright QSOs as a function of source…
We produce mock angular catalogues from simulations with different initial power spectra to test methods that recover measures of clustering in three dimensions, such as the power spectrum, variance and higher order cumulants. We find that…
Using extensive N-body simulations we estimate redshift space power spectra of clusters of galaxies for different cosmological models (SCDM, TCDM, CHDM, Lambda-CDM, OCDM, BSI, tau-CDM) and compare the results with observational data for…
We analyze the uncertainties in the amplitudes of the spatial correlation functions estimated from angular correlations in a sample from the APM Galaxy Survey, with $b_J=17-20$. We model the uncertainties in the selection function and in…

The two-point angular correlation function, $\w$, is constructed from a catalog of 13,000 objects in 24 fields distributed over an area of 4 deg$^2$ and complete to a limit of $R = 23.5$. The amplitude and slope of our correlation function…
