Significant uncertainties exist in the measured amplitude of the angular two-point correlation function of galaxies at magnitudes $I\approx26$ and fainter. Published results from HST and ground-based galaxy catalogs seem to differ by as…
Recently, a tight correlation among three quantities that characterize the prompt emission of long Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) with known redshift z, was discovered (Firmani et al. 2006). We use this correlation to construct the Hubble diagram…
We search for angular correlation of gamma-ray bursts with cataloged quasars, BL Lac objects, and AGN using a large sample of relatively well-localized bursts detected by WATCH on board GRANAT and EURECA, IPN, and BATSE (327 bursts total).…
We calculate the spectrum of blast wave models of gamma-ray burst sources, for various assumptions about the magnetic field density and the relativistic particle acceleration efficiency. For a range of physically plausible models we find…
Since their first discovery in the late 1960s, Gamma-ray bursts have attracted an exponentially growing interest from the international community due to their central role in the most highly debated open questions of the modern research of…
We compute the two-point angular correlation function and number-magnitude relation of Hubble Deep Field sources in order to assess their nature. We find that the correlation peaks between 0.25 arcsec and 0.4 arcsec with amplitude of 2 or…
Deep multi-color galaxy surveys with photometric redshifts will provide a large number of two-point correlation observables: galaxy-galaxy angular correlations, galaxy-shear cross correlations, and shear-shear correlations between all…
Angular cosmological correlators are infamously difficult to compute due to the highly oscillatory nature of the projection integrals. Motivated by recent development on analytic approaches to cosmological perturbation theory, in this paper…
If gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are cosmological they need not necessarily be spatially coincident with a host galaxy--in many cosmological models the progenitors are ejected to large distances from their parent galaxies. While the optical…
In order to reveal possible non-homogeneities in the spatial distribution of long (T_90 > 2^s) gamma-ray bursts we have examined 201 of them with known redshifts z. For different functional forms of metric distance r(z)we use the…
We compute the three-point temperature correlation function of the COBE Differential Microwave Radiometer (DMR) two-year sky maps to search for evidence of non-Gaussian temperature fluctuations. We detect three-point correlations in our sky…
It has been widely accepted that relativistic effects have to be used for modelling the wide classes of events associated with active galactic nuclei and galactic superluminal sources. Here we propose a simple analytical model of…

When applied to deep photometric catalogs, the two-point angular correlation function, w(theta), is a sensitive probe of the evolution of galaxy clustering properties. Here we present measurements of w(theta) as a function of I_AB magnitude…
A general formula for the correlation function in redshift space is derived in linear theory. The formula simultaneously includes wide-angle effects and cosmological distortions. The formula is applicable to any pair with arbitrary angle…

Gamma Ray Bursts are among the most powerful astrophysical sources and they release up to 1.e54 erg, if isotropic, in less than few hundred seconds. Their detection in the hard X/gamma ray band (at energies >10 keV) and out to very high…
This paper presents an angular correlation analysis of the Green Bank 4.85 GHz radio catalog (Gregory \& Condon 1991) of 54,579 sources (S \gsim 25 mJy). The Green Bank catalog is found to be complete to S $\geq$ 35 mJy over 20$^{\circ}…
