The Small-Scale Angular Correlation Function for a High-Galactic Latitude Faint Field
Abstract
The galaxies in a high-galactic latitude field are analysed for clustering using angular correlation analysis. Our sample is unique in that, with a total of 10h of exposure time in V, R and I distributed equally between filters, the seeing for the summed frames is ~ 0.7 arcsec. Data of this quality allows us to measure the galaxy correlation function to very small angular separations. A preliminary analysis of the ellipticity distribution of the observed galaxies is also presented.
