The similarity between QSO-galaxy clustering and galaxy-galaxy clustering suggests that QSOs are unbiased with respect to galaxies and make useful tracers of large-scale structure in the Universe.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1995-04-20T13:07:13.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "environments", "galaxy angular correlation function", "5sigma galaxy excess", "x-ray selected qsos", "cross-correlation analysis" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 412531 } } }
