The Gravitational Shear--Intrinsic Ellipticity Correlation Functions of Luminous Red Galaxies in Observation and in the $\Lambda$CDM Model

Teppei Okumura, Y. P. Jing

We examine whether the gravitational shear--intrinsic ellipticity (GI) correlation function of the luminous red galaxies (LRGs) can be modeled with the distribution function of a m…
