Galaxy Redshift Surveys: 20 years later
Luiz da Costa
This year marks the 20th anniversary of the effective beginning of large, systematic redshift surveys of galaxies. These surveys have had a major impact on observational cosmology…
ESO Imaging Survey. Hubble Deep Field South: Optical-Infrared Observations, Data Reduction and Photometry
L. da Costa, M. Nonino, R. Rengelink +12
This paper presents ground-based data obtained from deep optical and infrared observations of the HST Hubble Deep Field South (HDF-S) field carried out at the ESO 3.5 New Technolog…
Biasing and high-order statistics from the SSRS2
C. Benoist, A. Cappi, L. N. da Costa +3
We analyze different volume-limited samples extracted from the Southern Sky Redshift Survey (SSRS2), using counts-in-cells to compute the Count Probability Distribution Function (C…
Is the Universe a fractal? Results from the SSRS2
A. Cappi, C. Benoist, L. N. da Costa +1
We perform a fractal analysis of the Southern Sky Redshift Survey 2, following the methods prescribed by Pietronero and collaborators, to check their claim that the galaxy distribu…
