The ESO Slice Project (ESP) galaxy redshift survey: VI Groups of Galaxies
M. Ramella, G. Zamorani, E. Zucca +17
In this paper we identify objectively and analyze groups of galaxies in the recently completed ESP survey. We find 231 groups above the number overdensity threshold delta(rho)/rho=…
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…
The ESO Slice Project (ESP) galaxy redshift survey IV. A discussion of systematic biases in galaxy redshift determinations
A. Cappi, G. Zamorani, E. Zucca +17
We present a detailed discussion of the redshift errors associated to the ESO Slice Project measurements. For a subsample of 742 galaxies with redshifts determined both from the ab…
The ESO Slice Project (ESP) galaxy redshift survey: III. The Sample
G. Vettolani, E. Zucca, R. Merighi +17
The ESO Slice Project (ESP) is a galaxy redshift survey extending over about 23 square degrees, in a region near the South Galactic Pole. The survey is ~85% complete to the limitin…
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…
The ESO Slice Project [ESP] galaxy redshift survey: V. Evidence for a D=3 sample dimensionality
R. Scaramella, L. Guzzo, G. Zamorani +17
The issue of the approximate isotropy and homogeneity of the observable universe is one of the major topics in modern Cosmology: the common use of the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker [F…
Properties of Very Luminous Galaxies
A. Cappi, L. N. da Costa, C. Benoist +2
Recent analysis of the SSRS2 data based on cell-counts and two-point correlation function has shown that very luminous galaxies are much more strongly clustered than fainter galaxi…
