The 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 کاملGalaxy-galaxy-galaxy lensing: Third-order correlations between the galaxy and mass distributions in the Universe
Abstract. Galaxy-galaxy lensing (GGL) measures the 2-point cross-correlation between galaxies and mass in the Universe. In this work we seek to generalise this effect by considering the third-order correlations between galaxies and mass: galaxy-galaxy-galaxy lensing. Third-order correlations in the cosmic shear field have recently been reported in the VIRMOS-DESCART and CTIO surveys. Such data ...
متن کاملGalaxy-galaxy Flexion: Weak Lensing to Second Order
In this paper, we develop a new gravitational lensing inversion technique. While traditional approaches assume that the lensing field varies little across a galaxy image, we note that this variation in the field can give rise to a “Flexion” or bending of a galaxy image, which may then be used to detect a lensing signal with increased signal to noise. Since the significance of the Flexion signal...
متن کاملQuantitative analysis of galaxy-galaxy lensing
Gravitational light deflection due to mass along the line-of-sight will distort the images of background sources. This effect has been used successfully to investigate the mass distribution of galaxy clusters. Although an individual galaxy is not massive enough to cause a detectable lensing distortion in the background population, this effect can be measured statistically for a population of ga...
متن کاملCross-correlation Weak Lensing of Sdss Galaxy Clusters I: Measurements
This is the first in a series of papers on the weak lensing effect caused by clusters of galaxies in Sloan Digital Sky Survey. The photometrically selected cluster sample, known as MaxBCG, includes ∼130,000 objects between redshift 0.1 and 0.3, ranging in size from small groups to massive clusters. We split the clusters into bins of richness and luminosity and stack the surface density contrast...
