We derive an analytic expression for the two-point correlation function in redshift space which (i) is nonlinear; (ii) is valid on the full sky, i.e. the distant-observer limit is not assumed; (iii) can account for the effect of…

We show, with the help of large N-body simulations, that the real-space two-point correlation function and pairwise velocity dispersion of galaxies can both be measured reliably from the Las Campanas Redshift Survey. The real-space…

We present measurements of the quasar two-point correlation function, \xi_{Q}, over the redshift range z=0.3-2.2 based upon data from the SDSS. Using a homogeneous sample of 30,239 quasars with spectroscopic redshifts from the DR5 Quasar…

We study the redshift space correlation function of galaxy clusters for observational samples constructed in different surveys. We explore correlation amplitudes, pairwise velocity distributions and bias factors. Systematics in cluster…

Galaxies are not uniformly distributed in space. On large scales the Universe displays coherent structure, with galaxies residing in groups and clusters on scales of ~1-3 Mpc/h, which lie at the intersections of long filaments of galaxies…
