The best fit for the observed galaxy Counts-in-Cell distribution function

Ll. Hurtado-Gil, V. J. Martínez, P. Arnalte-Mur +3

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) is the first dense redshift survey encompassing a volume large enough to find the best analytic probability density function that fits the galax…

Reliability of the detection of the Baryon Acoustic Peak

Vicent J. Martinez, Pablo Arnalte-Mur, Enn Saar +5

The correlation function of the distribution of matter in the universe shows, at large scales, baryon acoustic oscillations, which were imprinted prior to recombination. This featu…

Correlations at large scale

M. J. Pons-Borderia, V. J. Martinez, B. Lopez-Marti +1

We show point processes generated in different ways and having different structure, presenting very similar power-law two--point correlation functions at small scales and quite dif…

Does the galaxy correlation length increase with the sample depth?

V. J. Martinez, B. Lopez-Marti, M. -J. Pons-Borderia

We have analyzed the behavior of the correlation length, , as a function of the sample depth by extracting from the CfA2 redshift survey volume--limited samples out to increas…

Comparing estimators of the galaxy correlation function

Maria-Jesus Pons-Borderia, Vicent J. Martinez, Dietrich Stoyan +2

We present a systematic comparison of some usual estimators of the 2--point correlation function, some of them currently used in Cosmology, others extensively employed in the field…

Searching for the scale of homogeneity

Vicent J. Martinez, Maria-Jesus Pons-Borderia, Rana A. Moyeed +1

We introduce a statistical quantity, known as the function, related to the integral of the two--point correlation function. It gives us straightforward information about the sc…

A global descriptor of spatial pattern interaction in the galaxy distribution

Martin Kerscher, Maria Jesus Pons-Borderia, Jens Schmalzing +4

We present the function J as a morphological descriptor for point patterns formed by the distribution of galaxies in the Universe. This function was recently introduced in the fiel…

Multiscaling

Vicent J. Martinez, Maria Jesus Pons-Borderia

We introduce the unbiased way statisticians look at the 2--point correlation function and study its relation to multifractal analysis. We apply this method to a simulation of the d…
