The Shane Wirtanen Counts: Observability of the Galaxy Correlation Function
For an explicit test of the ability to recover the galaxy two-point correlation function from the Lick catalog of Shane and Wirtanen, we have applied the reduction and analysis methods of Seidner et al. and Groth and Peebles to model galaxy distributions that have known plate and field "errors" and that are high-fidelity simulations of the Lick sample. The model galaxy space distribution is con...
متن کاملTwo - Point Angular Correlation Function )
The Two Point Angular Correlation Function (TPACF) is a mathematical equation that has applications in many areas. In our project, the Two Point Angular Correlation Function is used as a way to measure the probability of finding an astronomical body at a given angular distance from another astronomical body. We were given working sequential code as a starting point. The sequential code took in ...
متن کاملThe Galaxy-galaxy Lensing Contribution to the Cosmic Shear Two Point Function
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 cosmological weak lensing two point function if the effect were not taken into account. We compare the size of the galaxy-galaxy lensing contribution to the ch...
متن کاملSuppressing the contribution of intrinsic galaxy alignments to the shear two-point correlation function
Cosmological weak lensing gives rise to correlations in the ellipticities of faint galaxies. This cosmic shear signal depends upon the matter power spectrum, thus providing a means to constrain cosmological parameters. It has recently been proposed that intrinsic alignments arising at the epoch of galaxy formation can also contribute significantly to the observed correlations, the amplitude inc...
متن کاملStatistical Analysis of Galaxy Surveys-II. The 3-point galaxy correlation function measured from the 2dFGRS
We present new results for the 3-point correlation function, ζ, measured as a function of scale, luminosity and colour from the final version of the two-degree field galaxy redshift survey (2dFGRS). The reduced three point correlation function, Q3 ∼ ζ/ξ , is estimated for different triangle shapes and sizes, employing a full covariance analysis. The form of Q3 is consistent with the expectation...
