Abstract

Future deep galaxy surveys will cover a range in redshift over which the galaxy-bias and density field evolve significantly. In this brief conference proceedings contribution, we describe how models for these effects can be factored into a clustering analysis and can then be constrained by the data. Even for recent low-redshift surveys such as the 2dF galaxy redshift survey (2dFGRS), luminosity-dependent galaxy-bias can change the recovered clustering signal from that of the underlying density field [5].
