2,838 citations recorded by the source corpus.

An instant landmark on its publication, this book remains the essential introduction to this vital area of research. Written by one of the world's most esteemed theoretical cosmologists, it provides an invaluable historical introduction to the subject, and an enduring overview of key methods, statistical measures, and techniques for dealing with cosmic evolution. With characteristic clarity and insight, the author focuses on the largest known structures — galaxy clusters — weighing the empirical evidence of the nature of clustering and the theories of how it evolves in an expanding universe. A must-have reference for students and researchers alike, this edition introduces a new generation of readers to a classic text in modern cosmology.

Towards a Theory of Scale-Free Graphs: Definition, Properties, and Implications (2005, background): “In 1977, Groth and Peebles [46] proposed that this distribution of galaxies is well described by a power-law correlation function, and this has since been called scale-free in the astrophysics literature.”
The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey: The Amplitudes of fluctuations in the 2dFGRS and the CMB, and implications for galaxy biasing (2001, background): “We assume that the mass fluctuations grow as σ8m(z) = σ8m(0)D(z), where D(z) (normalized to 1 at z = 0) is the growing mode of fluctuations in linear theory [it depends on Ωm and ΩΛ, e.g. Peebles (1980)].”

On the Robustness of the Acoustic Scale in the Low-Redshift Clustering of Matter (2006, background): “56m along the line of sight, because the same velocity that gives the real-space displacement also alters the position in redshift space (Peebles 1980; Kaiser 1987).”
Clustering Analyses of 300,000 Photometrically Classified Quasars. I. Luminosity and Redshift Evolution in Quasar Bias (2006, methodology): “For small angles (θ ≪ 1 radian), Limber’s equation can be used to project the power spectrum into the angular autocorrelation (Limber 1953; Peebles 1980; Peacock 1991; Baugh & Efstathiou 1993) via ω(θ) = π ∫ z=∞ z=0 ∫ k=∞ k=0 ∆2(k, z) k J0[kθχ(z)] ( dN dz )2 ( dz dχ ) F (χ) dk k dz (B1) where J0 is…”
The VIMOS Public Extragalactic Redshift Survey (VIPERS): The growth of structure at $0.5 < z < 1.2$ from redshift-space distortions in the clustering of the PDR-2 final sample (2016, methodology): “As shown by Scoccimarro (2004), the dispersion model is a simpliﬁcation of the original streaming model (Peebles 1980; Fisher 1995), in which the full redshift-space correlation function is obtained by convolution with a proper scale-dependent pairwise velocity distribution.”
The three‐point correlation function in cosmology (2002, positive): “Originally, this model was developed to express non-linear clustering as the real-space convolution of halo density profiles (Neyman & Scott 1952; Peebles 1974; McClelland & Silk 1977; and also see Scherrer & Bertschinger 1991; Sheth & Jain 1997; Yano & Gouda 1999; Ma & Fry 2000b,c).”
Initial Conditions to Cosmological N-Body Simulations, or, How to Run an Ensemble of Simulations (2005, background): “In any case, highly nonlinear effects at very high k are expected not to have much effect on the evolution of themodes of interest in a simulation (e.g., Peebles 1980, p. 128).”
Correlation Function in Deep Redshift Space as a Cosmological Probe (2004, background): “The integrated regions are limited within pixels in redshift space.”
Tracing the cosmic web (2017, background): “The second is that these perturbations evolve entirely due to gravity (Peebles 1980).”
Detection of the Baryon Acoustic Peak in the Large-Scale Correlation Function of SDSS Luminous Red Galaxies (2005, neutral): “ing the two-point correlation function (Peebles 1980).”
