Ds. Goldwirth et al., THE 2-POINT CORRELATION-FUNCTION AND THE SIZE OF VOIDS, Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 275(4), 1995, pp. 1185-1194
Under the assumption of a void-filled Universe we investigate whether
the characteristic scale of voids can be determined from existing surv
eys, We use the Voronoi tessellation to create mock surveys and study
the properties of the first zero-crossing of the two-point correlation
function for various survey geometries. Our main conclusion is that t
he available data sets should be able to discriminate between 5000 km
s(-1) and 12 000 km s(-1) voids, if one of these scales actually chara
cterizes the distribution of galaxies.
