The luminosity-weighted or ‘marked’ correlation function
We present measurements of the redshift-space luminosity-weighted or ‘marked’ correlation function in the SDSS. These are compared with a model in which the luminosity function and luminosity dependence of clustering are the same as that observed, and in which the form of the luminosity-weighted correlation function is entirely a consequence of the fact that massive halos populate dense regions...
متن کاملTesting Modified Gravity with Globular Cluster Velocity Dispersions
Globular clusters (GCs) in the Milky Way have characteristic velocity dispersions that are consistent with the predictions of Newtonian gravity, and may be at odds with Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND). We discuss a modified gravity (MOG) theory that successfully predicts galaxy rotation curves, galaxy cluster masses and velocity dispersions, lensing, and cosmological observations, yet produc...
متن کاملTesting Modified Gravity with Motion of Satellites around Galaxies
A modified gravity (MOG) theory, that has been successfully fitted to galaxy rotational velocity data, cluster data, the Bullet Cluster 1E0657-56 and cosmological observations, is fitted to the motion of satellite galaxies around host galaxies at distances 50-400 kpc providing a new sensitive test for MOG. We show that observational data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey are consistent with MOG...
متن کاملTesting gravity with motion of satellites around galaxies: Newtonian gravity against Modified Newtonian Dynamics
The motion of satellite galaxies around normal galaxies at distances 50-500 kpc provides a sensitive test for the theories. We study the surface density and the velocities of satellites around isolated red galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. We find that the surface number-density of satellites declines with the projected distance as a power law with the slope −1.5− 2. The rms velocities ...
متن کاملModified Sampling Strategies Using Correlation Coefficient for Estimating Population Mean
This paper proposes two sampling strategies based on the modified ratio estimator using the population mean of auxiliary variable and population correlation coefficient between the study variable and the auxiliary variable by Singh and Tailor (2003) for estimating the population mean (total) of the study variable in a finite population. A comparative study is made with usual sampling strategies...
