We calculate the normalized angular three-point correlation function (3PCF), $q$, as well as the normalized angular skewness, $s_3$, assuming the small-angle approximation, for a biased mass distribution in flat and open cold-dark-matter…

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 note that galaxy-galaxy lensing by non-spherical galaxy halos produces a net anti-correlation between the shear of background galaxies and the ellipticity of foreground galaxies. This anti-correlation would contaminate the tomographic…

The weak lensing effects are known to change only weakly the shape of the power spectrum of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) temperature fluctuations. I show here that they nonetheless induce specific non-Gaussian effects that can be…

The assumption of homogeneity and isotropy on large scales is one of the main hypotheses of the standard cosmology. In this paper, we test the hypothesis of isotropy from the two-point angular correlation function of 2626 gamma-ray bursts…

We discuss full-sky convolution of the instrumental beam with the CMB sky signal in CMB single-dish and interferometry experiments, using the method (Challinor et al. 2000) that the measured temperature and polarization anisotropies are…

A cosmic ray observatory with full-sky coverage can exploit standard anisotropy analysis methods that do not work if part of the celestial sphere is never seen. In particular, the distribution of arrival directions can be fully…

Recent ROSAT surveys suggest that galaxies constitute the new class of X-ray sources required to explain the full phenomenology of the cosmic X-Ray Background (XRB). To test this hypothesis, we compute the two-point cross-correlation…

Methodology is presented for analysis of two-particle azimuthal angle correlation functions obtained in collisions at ultra-relativistic energies. We show that harmonic and di-jet contributions to these correlation functions can be reliably…

Two-particle correlation functions are calculated for bosons emitted from a localized thermal source (the ``glow'' of a ``hot spot''). In contrast to existing work, non-equilibrium effects up to first order in gradients of the particle…
