SCALING PROPERTIES OF THE PERSEUS-PISCES REDSHIFT SURVEY

One of the most important issue in observational cosmology is the iden tification of the homogeneity scale, i.e. the scale beyond which a con stant density can be defined. In this respect we study the Perseus Pis ces redshift survey. We find therefore that this sample show no tenden cy towards homogenization, and indeed we find that galaxy distribution has fractal long-range correlation up to the sample depth (approximat e to 130h(-1) M pc), with fractal dimension D approximate to 2. Moreov er we find clear evidences that the luminosity segregation phenomenon has no experimental support.
