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 new constraint on the biased galaxy formation picture. Gravitational instability theory predicts that the two-point mass density correlation function, \xi(r), has an inflection point at the separation r=r_0, corresponding to…

We analyse the redshift-space (z-space) distortions of QSO clustering in the 2dF QSO Redshift Survey (2QZ). To interpret the z-space correlation function, xi(sigma,pi), we require an accurate model for the QSO real-space correlation…

We use the two-point correlation function in redshift space, $\xi(s)$, to study the clustering of the galaxies and groups of the Nearby Optical Galaxy (NOG) sample, which is a nearly all-sky, complete, magnitude-limited sample of $\sim$7000…

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…

We model the evolution of galaxy clustering through cosmic time to investigate the nature of the power-law shape of xi(r), the galaxy two-point correlation function. Departures from a power law are mainly governed by galaxy pair counts on…

Galaxy redshift surveys provide a distorted picture of the universe due to the non-Hubble component of galaxy motions. By measuring such distortions in the linear regime one can constrain the quantity $\beta = \Omega^{0.6}/b$ where $\Omega$…
