英文摘要 | Using a method to correct redshift-space distortion (RSD) for individual galaxies, we mapped the real-space distributions of galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 7 (DR7). We use an ensemble of mock catalogs to demonstrate the reliability of our method. Here, in the first paper in a series, we focus mainly on the two-point correlation function (2PCF) of galaxies. Overall the 2PCF measured in the reconstructed real space for galaxies brighter than M-0.1(r)-5logh = -19.0 agrees with the direct measurement to an accuracy better than the measurement error due to cosmic variance, if the reconstruction uses the correct cosmology. Applying the method to the SDSS DR7, we construct a real-space version of the main galaxy catalog, which contains 396,068 galaxies in the North Galactic Cap with redshifts in the range 0.01 <= z <= 0.12. The Sloan Great Wall, the largest known structure in the nearby universe, is not as dominant an overdense structure as it appears to be in redshift space. We measure the 2PCFs in reconstructed real space for galaxies of different luminosities and colors. All of them show clear deviations from single power-law forms, and reveal clear transitions from one-halo to two-halo terms. A comparison with the corresponding 2PCFs in redshift space nicely demonstrates how RSDs boost the clustering power on large scales (by about 40%-50% at scales similar to 10 h(-1) Mpc) and suppress it on small scales (by about 70%-80% on a scale of 0.3 h(-1) Mpc). |
