Statistical analysis of catalogs of extragalactic objects. VI - The galaxy distribution in the Jagellonian field

Abstract

The Jagellonian catalog lists more than 10,000 galaxies in a 6° x 6° area. Estimates of the two-point and three-point correlation functions for the distribution are presented. The results for both functions agree very well with the correlation functions derived from the Zwicky catalog of galaxies and scaled to take account of the greater depth in the Jagellonian survey.
