Large-Scale Distribution of Galaxies with Different Luminosities
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 July 2016
Extract
Analyses for complete samples of galaxies and clusters of galaxies showed that the two-point correlation function of galaxy-galaxy and cluster-cluster have form of power law with power indices about −1.8 (Peebles, 1980; Bahcall and Soneira, 1983). Because the completeness of a sample means that we have observed completely the objects brighter than a given apparent magnitude in certain sky region. But, we know that a complete sample will be lack of faint objects at distant region. If we attempt to avoid the influences of any non-intrinsic properties on the analysis, we have to use the samples which are complete in certain interval of absolute magnitude.
