Overview

Abstract

  • We report on the small-scale (0.5 -1 Mpc) clustering of 78 895 massive (M* ˜ 1011.3 M&sun;) galaxies at 0.2 ) galaxies at 0.2 ) galaxies at 0.2 13 h-1 M&sun;, a large-scale bias of ˜2.0 and a satellite fraction of 12 ± 2 per cent. Thus, these galaxies occupy haloes with average masses in between those of the higher redshift BOSS CMASS sample and the original SDSS I/II luminous red galaxy sample.
