Analysis of deep galaxy samples
Abstract
The paper examines the difficulties in interpreting the counts and colors of deep galaxies because of the poor knowledge of the fundamental properties of galaxies. Attention is also given to studies of galaxy clustering. Correlations of galaxy positions have been studied using only samples taken from Schmidt plates; this is because very large areas are required to avoid 'fair sample' problems. It is stressed that this aspect of galaxy analysis should be continued with 4-meter plates and eventually with the Space Telescope.
