Wiener Reconstruction of Galaxy Surveys in Spherical Harmonics
O. Lahav, K. B. Fisher, Y. Hoffman +2
The analysis of whole-sky galaxy surveys commonly suffers from the problems of shot-noise and incomplete sky coverage (e.g. at the Zone of Avoidance). The orthogonal set of spheric…
A Spherical Harmonic Approach to Redshift Distortion: Implications for and the Power Spectrum
Karl B. Fisher
We examine the nature of galaxy clustering in redshift space using a method based on an expansion of the galaxian density field in Spherical Harmonics and linear theory. We derive…
A Spherical Harmonic Approach to Redshift Distortion and a Measurement of Omega from the 1.2 Jy IRAS Redshift Survey
Karl B. Fisher, Caleb A. Scharf, Ofer Lahav
We present a formalism for analysing redshift distortions based on a spherical harmonic expansion of the density field. We use a maximum likelihood estimator for the combination of…
Clustering in the 1.2 Jy IRAS Galaxy Redshift Survey II: Redshift Distortions and ξ(r_p,π)
Karl B Fisher, Marc Davis, Michael A Strauss +2
We examine the effect of redshift space distortions on the galaxy two-point correlation function as a function of separations parallel () and perpendicular () to…
Fourier Analysis of Redshift Space Distortions and the Determination of Omega
Shaun Cole, Karl B. Fisher, David H. Weinberg
The peculiar velocities of galaxies distort the pattern of galaxy clustering in redshift space, making the redshift space power spectrum anisotropic. In the linear regime, the stre…
Clustering in the 1.2 Jy IRAS Galaxy Redshift Survey I: The Redshift and Real Space Correlation Functions
Karl B. Fisher, Marc Davis, Michael A. Strauss +2
We present analyses of the two-point correlation function derived from an all-sky redshift survey of 5313 galaxies extracted from the Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) databas…
Moments of the Counts Distribution in the 1.2 Jy IRAS Redshift Survey
Francois R. Bouchet
We derive the volume-averaged 2, 3, 4, and 5-point correlation functions from the moments of the Count probability distribution function of a redshift survey of IRAS galaxies, and…
