Measuring the Angular Correlation Function for Faint Galaxies at High Galactic Latitudes
1996
Symposium - International astronomical union
The angular correlation function (ω(θ)) for faint, magnitude-limited samples is an important test of large scale structure formation scenarios, as well as being a valuable probe of galaxy evolution. By measuring ω(θ) one hopes to better understand the mechanism or galaxy species responsible for the number counts excess (relative to "no-evolution" models of galaxies) typically observed at blue wavelengths. Images of three 'blank' fields were obtained at the prime focus of the CFHT with
