The IRAC galaxy correlation functions from SWIRE
Abstract
We present an analysis of large-scale structure from the Spitzer Wide-area Infrared Extragalactic legacy survey, SWIRE. The two-point angular correlation functions were computed for galaxies detected in the 3.6-micron IRAC band, on angular scales up to a degree. Significant evolution in the clustering amplitude was detected, as the median redshift of the samples increases from z=0.2 to 0.6. The galaxy clustering in the GALICS semi-analytic models was compared with the observed correlation functions and found to disagree with the data at faint flux limits.
