The study presents an effective approach for deriving and utilizing polarity-based cross-correlation functions to forecast Galactic Cosmic Ray (GCR) fluxes based on solar activity proxies. By leveraging a universal correlation framework…
[Abridged] We test the reliability of a method to measure the mean halo mass of Damped Ly-alpha absorbers (DLAs). The method is based on measuring the ratio of the cross-correlation between DLAs and galaxies to the auto-correlation of the…
The AGN-galaxy cross-correlation function of radio-quiet AGN and radio galaxies has been measured with the Panoramic Deep Fields. Colour selection criteria and photometric redshifts have been used to significantly increase the…
The Two-Point Angular Correlation Function is a standard analysis tool used to study angular anisotropies. Since BATSE's sky exposure (the angular sampling of gamma-ray bursts) is anisotropic, the TPACF should at some point identify…
Cosmic flexion, like cosmic shear, is a correlation function whose signal originates from the large-scale structure of the universe. Building on the observational success of cosmic shear, along with the unprecedented quality of large-scale…
We report a first detection, at very high significance ($25\sigma$), of the cross-correlation between cosmic shear and the diffuse X-ray background, using data from the Dark Energy Survey and the ROSAT satellite. The X-ray cross-correlation…
Optical single-short measurement of the cross-correlation function between periodic sequences is demonstrated. The sequences are encoded into the broadband ultrashort phase-shaped pulses which are mixed in the nonlinear medium with…
Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) is a powerful probe to study the early universe and various cosmological models. Weak gravitational lensing affects the CMB by changing its power spectrum, but meanwhile, it also carries information about…
We present a novel technique for calculating the two-point autocorrelation function of the Lyman-alpha forest based on the relation between the two-point correlation function and the Neighbor Probability Distribution Functions. The…
Galaxy clustering on very large scales can be probed via the 2-point correlation function in the general case of wide and deep separations, including all the lightcone and relativistic effects. Using our recently developed formalism, we…
Within the Landau-Ginzburg-Wilson approach we derive the effective Hamiltonian governing fluctuations of an interface between two phases, one of them adsorbed on a disclike substrate. For large disc radii and for temperatures close to the…
We describe the construction of catalogues of galaxy clusters from the APM Galaxy survey using an automated algorithm based on Abell-like selection criteria. We investigate the effects of varying several parameters in our selection…
We present a physically motivated semi-analytic model to understand the clustering of high redshift Lyman Alpha Emitters (LAEs). We show that the model parameters constrained by the observed luminosity functions, can be used to predict…
Models for the formation of galaxies and clusters of galaxies require strong feedback in order to explain the observed properties of these systems. We investigate whether such feedback has observational consequences for the intergalactic…
Quasar lines of sight intersect intervening galaxy discs or circum-galactic environments at random impact parameters and potential well depths. Absorption line velocity widths ($\Delta v_{90}$) are known to scale with host galaxy stellar…
The connection between galaxies and dark matter halos is often quantified using the stellar mass-halo mass (SMHM) relation. Optical and near-infrared imaging surveys have led to a broadly consistent picture of the evolving SMHM relation…
As soon as Lyman or Balmer lines overlap, the net absorption cross section rapidly approaches the value at the series limit. Independent of the difficult question of the relative contributions of line and continuous opacity, we can get a…
Angular x-ray cross-correlation analysis (XCCA) is an approach to study the structure of disordered systems using the results of x-ray scattering experiments. In this paper we summarize recent theoretical developments related to the Fourier…
We report the detection of molecular absorption lines at z=0.7645 towards the radio-loud QSO PMN 0134-0931. The CO J=2-1 and HCO+ J=2-1 lines are seen in absorption along two different lines of sight to lensed images of the background QSO.…
We present galaxy-galaxy lensing measurements over scales 0.025 to 10 Mpc/h in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Using a flux-limited sample of 127,001 lens galaxies with spectroscopic redshifts and mean luminosity <L> = L_* and 9,020,388…
