We apply the reconstruction technique of Nusser & Dekel (1992) to the recently available Point Source Catalogue Redshift Survey (PSCz) in order to subtract the phase correlations that are expected to develop in the mild non-linear regime of…
We present the results of reconstruction analysis of the galaxy distribution in a spherical region of radius 50 Mpc/h centered on the Local Group, as mapped by the IRAS Point Source Catalog Redshift Survey (PSCz). We reconstruct it using 15…
We present a direct comparison of the clustering properties of two redshift surveys covering a common volume of space: the recently completed IRAS Point Source Catalogue redshift survey (PSCz) containing 14500 galaxies with a limiting flux…
We investigate the spatial clustering of galaxies in the PSCz galaxy redshift survey, as revealed by the two-point correlation function, the luminosity mark correlations, and the moments of counts-in-cells. We construct volume-limited…
We study the topology of the Virgo N-body simulations and compare it to the 1.2-Jy redshift survey of IRAS galaxies by means of the genus statistic. Four high-resolution simulations of variants of the CDM cosmology are considered: a flat…
We measure the topology (genus curve) of the galaxy distribution in a mock redshift catalog designed to resemble the upcoming Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). The catalog, drawn from a large N-body simulation of a Lambda-CDM cos- mological…
We apply the formalism of spherical harmonic decomposition to the galaxy density field of the IRAS PSCz redshift survey. The PSCz redshift survey has almost all-sky coverage and includes IRAS galaxies to a flux limit of 0.6 Jy. Using…
We measure the autocorrelation function of galaxies in the IRAS Point Source Catalogue galaxy redshift (PSCz) survey and investigate its dependence on the far-infrared colour and absolute luminosity of the galaxies. We find that the PSCz…
We present the catalogue, mask, redshift data and selection function for the PSCz survey of 15411 IRAS galaxies across 84% of the sky. Most of the IRAS data is taken from the Point Source Catalog, but this has been supplemented and…
We measure the redshift-space power spectrum P(k) for the recently completed IRAS Point Source Catalogue (PSC) redshift survey, which contains 14500 galaxies over 84% of the sky with 60 micron flux >= 0.6 Jansky. Comparison with simulations…
We apply a spherical harmonic analysis to the Point Source Redshift Survey (PSCz), to compute the real-space galaxy power spectrum and the degree of redshift distortion caused by peculiar velocities. We employ new parameter eigenvector and…
We present the catalogue and redshift data for the PSCz survey of 15,000 IRAS galaxies over 84% of the sky. The uniformity, completeness and data quality are assessed, and guidelines and caveats for its use are given.
We measure the topology (genus) of isodensity contour surfaces in volume limited subsets of the 1.2 Jy IRAS redshift survey, for smoothing scales $\lambda=4\hmpc$, $7\hmpc$, and $12\hmpc$. At $12\hmpc$, the observed genus curve has a…
We measure the three-dimensional topology of large-scale structure in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). This allows the genus statistic to be measured with unprecedented statistical accuracy. The sample size is now sufficiently large to…
We have measured the topology (genus) of the density distribution of large-scale structure observed in the Las Campanas Redshift Survey (LCRS). The LCRS is complete to magnitude 17.5, and contains nearly 24000 galaxies with median redshift…
We investigate the topology of the completed 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey, drawing two flux-limited samples of the local Universe from the 2dFGRS catalogue, which contains over 220,000 galaxies at a median redshift of z = 0.11. The samples…
