This paper addresses the problem of detecting high-redshift clustering in deep photometric surveys. We have used photometric redshifts to select different samples of galaxies in the HDF, in order to study their clustering properties within…
The fractal structure of star formation on large scales in disk galaxies is studied using the size distribution function of stellar aggregates in kpc-scale star fields. Achival HST images of 10 galaxies are Gaussian smoothed to define the…
We use a combination of N-body simulations of the hierarchical clustering of dark matter and semi-analytic modelling of the physics of galaxy formation to probe the relationship between the galaxy distribution and the mass distribution. The…
We carry out CCD photometry of galaxies in the 5.25 square region centered on Coma cluster down to $M_R=-16.0$, beyond the limit of conventional morphological classification. We use the angular two-point correlation function as well as…
We investigate galaxy clustering and galaxy-mass correlations in the LCDM cosmological model using a large volume SPH simulation. For the most part, the predicted biases between galaxies and dark matter lead to good agreement with current…
The relative orientation of clusters' major elongation axes and clusters' angular momentum is studied using a large N-body simulation in a box of 500 Mpc/h base length for a standard LambdaCDM model. Employing the technique of mark…
We measure the evolution of galaxy clustering out to a redshift of z~1.5 using data from two MUSYC fields, the Extended Hubble Deep Field South (EHDF-S) and the Extended Chandra Deep Field South (ECDF-S). We use photometric redshift…
I outline the connections between some of the most widely used statistical measures of galaxy clustering and the fundamental issues in the theory of structure formation. I devote particular attention to the problem of biasing, i.e. to a…
We analyse the correlation function of mock galaxy clusters in redshift space. We constructed several mock catalogues designed to mimic the selection biases inherent in a variety of observational surveys. We explore different effects that…
We address the question of whether massive red and blue galaxies trace the same large-scale structure at z~0.6 using the CMASS sample of galaxies from Data Release 12 of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III. After splitting the catalog into…
[Abridged] We use data on massive galaxy clusters ($M_{\rm cluster} > 8 \times 10^{14} h^{-1} M_\odot$ within a comoving radius of $R_{\rm cluster} = 1.5 h^{-1}\Mpc$) in the redshift range $0.05 \lesssim z \lesssim 0.83$ to place…
We present results for the two-point angular correlation function of galaxies to a limiting magnitude of r=26. The final sample is 97% complete to r=26.0, yielding 5730 galaxies over a 90.1 sq. arcmin field. The correlation function for our…
A large sample of young stellar groups is analysed aiming to investigate their clustering properties and dynamical evolution. A comparison of the Q statistical parameter, measured for the clusters, with the fractal dimension estimated for…
The aim of this review article is to give a comprehensive description of the scaling properties detected for the distribution of cosmic structures. Due to the great variety of statistical methods to describe the large-scale structure of the…
We have studied the properties of clusters of colloidal magnetic particles generated from a 2D aggregation model with dipolar interparticle interactions. Particles diffuse off-lattice, experiencing dipolar interactions with the already…
Using accurate positions from very deep radio observations to guide multi-object Keck spectroscopy, we have determined a substantially complete redshift distribution for very luminous, distant submillimeter(submm)-selected galaxies (SMGs).…
We study the physical properties derived from interstellar cloud complexes having a fractal structure. We first generate fractal clouds with a given fractal dimension and associate each clump with a maximum in the resulting density field.…
We present measurements of the two-point galaxy angular correlation function as a function of apparent magnitude, color, and morphology. We present new galaxy number counts to limiting magnitudes of I=24.0 and V=25.0. We find…
Over the past two decades or so, it has become increasingly appparent that, out to quite large distances, galaxies are distributed in a quasi-fractal fashion with fractal dimension $D \approx 2$. Whether or not this behaviour continues onto…
We report results from 21-cm intensity maps acquired from the Parkes radio telescope and cross-correlated with galaxy maps from the 2dF galaxy survey. The data span the redshift range $0.057<z<0.098$ and cover approximately 1,300 square…
