ESTIMATING THE GALAXY CORRELATION LENGTH r0 FROM THE NUMBER OF GALAXY PAIRS WITH SIMILAR REDSHIFTS
We discuss methods that can be used to estimate the spatial correlation length r0 of galaxy samples from the observed number of pairs with similar redshifts. The standard method is unnecessarily noisy and can be compromised by errors in the assumed selection function. We present three alternatives, one less noisy, one that responds differently to systematic errors, the third insensitive to the ...
متن کاملRedshift distortions of galaxy correlation functions
To examine how peculiar velocities can affect the 2-, 3-, and 4-point redshift correlation functions, we evaluate volume-average correlations for configurations that emphasize and minimize redshift distortions for four different volume-limited samples from each of the CfA, SSRS, and IRAS redshift catalogs. We present the results as the correlation length r0 and power index γ of the 2-point corr...
متن کاملMeasuring Galaxy Bias from the High-order Correlation Functions
In this talk, I will show how to determine the biasing factor b from the high-order moments of galaxies. The determination is based on the analytical modeling of primordial peaks and virialized halos and is independent of the currently unknown density parameter Ω0 and other cosmological parameters. The observed high-oder moments of the APM galaxies require that the biasing factor b be very clos...
متن کاملThe 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey: Higher order galaxy correlation functions
We measure moments of the galaxy count probability distribution function in the two-degree field galaxy redshift survey (2dFGRS). The survey is divided into volume limited subsamples in order to examine the dependence of the higher order clustering on galaxy luminosity. We demonstrate the hierarchical scaling of the averaged p-point galaxy correlation functions, ξ̄p, up to p = 6. The hierarchica...
متن کاملInfant Galaxy Clusters at Low Redshifts?
The population and population composition of galaxies in galaxy clusters at present reflect the mass of the clusters and the mass growth of the galaxies in the past. We investigate them for six clusters. We show that galaxies in massive clusters stopped growing at redshifts of ∼4. Moreover, we find that some small galaxy clusters (groups) have too many massive galaxies for their apparent masses...
