Abstract:
Changes in galaxy clustering properties with time reflect both evolution in the dark matter halo distribution and galaxy evolution and are key diagnostics for theoretical models. I will highlight recent results on galaxy clustering properties at z=1 using data from the DEEP2 Redshift Survey. I will show how the galaxy bias depends on luminosity and scale at redshift unity and compare these results to local SDSS findings and theoretical models. I will also show how groups and galaxies within groups cluster at z=1, which can be used to infer the radial distribution of galaxies within groups. Finally, I will discuss the relative bias of QSOs to galaxies at z=1, placing constraints on the types of galaxies that can host QSOs.
