Abstract: (arXiv)
When applied to deep photometric catalogs, the two-point angular correlation function, w(theta), is a sensitive probe of the evolution of galaxy clustering properties. Here we present measurements of w(theta) as a function of I_AB magnitude and (R-I) color to a depth of I_AB=24, using a sample of ~350,000 galaxies covering 5 degrees^2 in total over 5 separate fields. Using redshifts of 3319 galaxies in early DEEP2 Galaxy Redshift Survey data, we construct robust galaxy redshift distributions as a function of I_AB and R_AB magnitude and (R-I) color for galaxies between 0- galaxies: evolution
