Spatial clustering

Clustering is a function of mass and colour.

Clustering could be a function of redshift.

How does galaxy clustering evolve?

Trace the same galaxy population with redshift.

Accurate redshifts and restframe selected galaxies.

Red galaxies.

Two preliminary studies using the first data release.

Red galaxies at z<0.9 (Brown et al. 2003).

EROs at 0.8<z<1.4 (Brown et al 2004).

Completed preliminary studies of galaxy clustering.

Red galaxies at z<0.9 (Brown et al. 2003).

EROs at z~1.1 (Brown et al. 2004).

Galaxy clustering is a function of luminosity.

Galaxy clustering does not evolve rapidly with redshift.

Preliminary studies are consistent with LCDM.

Full survey area will be used for robust tests of LCDM.
