ANGULAR-CORRELATIONS OF GALAXY DISTRIBUTION

We study the angular correlations of various galaxy catalogs (the CfA1 , SSRS1, Perseus-Pisces, APM Bright Galaxies, and Zwicky catalogs). We find that the angular correlation exponent is gamma(a) = 0.1 +/- 0.1 rather than gamma(a) = 0.7, as usually found by the standard correlati on function omega(theta). We identify the problem in the artificial de cay of omega(theta). Moreover, we find that no characteristic angular scale is present in any of the analyzed catalogs. Finally, we show tha t all the available data are consistent with each other, and the angul ar distribution of galaxies is quite naturally compatible with a fract al structure with D approximate to 2.
