The angular two-point correlation function, ω(θ), for galaxies can be used as a probe of their redshift distribution N(z) and, therefore, of galaxy luminosity evolution. Without redshift data, we can still observe the projection onto the two-dimensional sky of the three-dimensional clustering of galaxies. The autocorrelation of this projected distribution is described by ω(θ). Observations have indicated that ω(θ) follows a θ−0.8 power-law (Peebles 1980) and that the index of the power-law remains approximately constant to the faintest limits of photographic surveys (Jones, Shanks & Fong 1987).
