A WIDE-FIELD K-BAND SURVEY .2. GALAXY CLUSTERING

We present the first measurement of the angular correlation function i n a K-selected galaxy survey, from two fields covering almost 10 deg(2 ). The angular correlation function at small angles is well described by a theta(-0.8) power law, as for optically selected samples. The clu stering amplitude is reduced by a factor of similar to 4 between galax ies with K <15 and a fainter magnitude slice with 15 <K <16. This allo ws us to place constraints upon the redshift distribution of the galax ies and their spatial correlation function. We find no clear evidence for a change in clustering amplitude when galaxies are selected by the ir observed B-K colours.
