The Galaxy Angular Two Point Correlation Function from WISE Data
Abstract
The Widefield Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) satellite has surveyed the entire sky at 3.4 microns to a 5σ detection depth of 80 μJy or better. Using a preliminary catalogue we have calculated the angular two point function, w(θ), of generic field galaxies using various standard and non-standard techniques. Herein we present a comparison of our results to previous measurements performed using the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and in the COSMOS field.
