Approaching a homogeneous galaxy distribution: results from the Stromlo-APM redshift survey
Recent results from a number of redshift surveys suggest that the Universe is well described by an inhomogeneous, fractal distribution on the largest scales probed. This distribution has been found to have fractal dimension, D, approximately equal to 2.1, in contrast to a homogeneous distribution in which the dimension should approach the value 3 as the scale is increased. In this paper we demo...
متن کاملPower Spectrum Analysis of the Stromlo-APM Redshift Survey
We test estimators of the galaxy power spectrum P (k) against simulated galaxy catalogues constructed from N-body simulations and we derive formulae to correct for biases. These estimators are then applied to compute the power spectrum of galaxies in the Stromlo-APM redshift survey. We test whether the amplitude of P (k) depends on galaxy luminosity, but find no significant luminosity dependenc...
متن کاملThe richness dependence of galaxy cluster correlations : Results from a redshift survey of rich APM clusters
We analyse the spatial clustering properties of a new catalogue of very rich galaxy clusters selected from the APM Galaxy Survey. These clusters are of comparable richness and space density to Abell Richness Class ≥ 1 clusters, but selected using an objective algorithm from a catalogue demonstrably free of artificial inhomogeneities. Evaluation of the two-point correlation function ξ cc (r) for...
متن کاملHigher Order Clustering in the Durham/UKST and Stromlo-APM Galaxy Redshift Surveys
We present a counts-in-cells analysis of clustering in the optically selected Durham/UKST and Stromlo-APM Galaxy Redshift Surveys. Minimum variance estimates of the second moment, skewness (S3) and kurtosis (S4) of the count probability distribution are extracted from a series of volume limited samples of varying radial depth. The corresponding theoretical error calculation takes into account a...
متن کاملSpectral Analysis of the Stromlo-APM Survey II. Galaxy luminosity function and clustering by spectral type
We study the luminosity function and clustering properties of subsamples of local galaxies selected from the Stromlo-APM survey by the rest-frame equivalent widths of their Hα and [O ii] emission lines. The bJ luminosity function of star-forming galaxies has a significantly steeper faint-end slope than that for quiescent galaxies: the majority of sub-L∗ galaxies are currently undergoing signifi...
