Abstract

We present the large-scale correlation function measured from a spectroscopic sample of 46,748 luminous red galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. The survey region covers 0.72 h -3 Gpc 3 over 3816 deg 2 and 0.16 < z < 0.47, making it the best sample yet for the study of large-scale structure. ...
