The existence of primordial magnetic fields can induce matter perturbations with additional power at small scales as compared to the usual $\Lambda$CDM model. We study its implication within the context of two-point shear correlation…
The amplitude of the angular two-point galaxy correlation function w(\theta) for galaxies at z~2 is estimated for galaxies in the Hubble Deep Field by using a U < 27 complete sub-sample. (i) It is confirmed that the amplitude of the…

Inflationary models predict a definite, model independent, angular dependence for the three-point correlation function of $\Delta T/T$ at large angles (greater than $\sim 1^\circ$) which we calculate. The overall amplitude is model…
Angular particle correlations are a powerful tool to study collective effects and in-medium jet modification as well as their interplay in the hot and dense medium produced in central heavy-ion collisions. We present measurements of…
The Pan-STARRS1 survey is currently obtaining imaging in 5 bands (grizy) for the $3\pi$ steradian survey, one of the largest optical surveys ever conducted. The finished survey will have spatially varying depth, due to the survey strategy.…
Padmanabhan (1996) has suggested a model to relate the nonlinear two - point correlation function to the linear two - point correlation function. In this paper, we extend this model in two directions: (1) By averaging over the initial…
The most common statistic used to analyze large-scale structure surveys is the correlation function, or power spectrum. Here, we show how `slicing' the correlation function on local density brings sensitivity to interesting non-Gaussian…
We compute the two-, three- and four-point correlation functions from the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) first-year data, and compare these to a Monte Carlo ensemble of 5000 realizations, based on the best-fit WMAP…
We study the space distribution of Abell and X-ray selected clusters of galaxies from the ROSAT Bright Source Catalog, and determine correlation functions for both cluster samples. On small scales the correlation functions depend on the…
Two-point density-density correlation functions for the diffusive binary reaction system $A+A\to\emptyset$ are obtained in one dimension via Monte Carlo simulation. The long-time behavior of these correlation functions clearly deviates from…

It has been recently discovered that the angular autocorrelation function of gamma-ray bursts exhibits sharp peaks at angular separations of $\lesssim 4\deg$ (Quashnock and Lamb 1993), and at $\gtrsim 176\deg$ (Narayan and Piran 1993).…
