High-order 2MASS galaxy correlation functions: probing the Gaussianity of the primordial density field

We use the 2 Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) extended source catalogue to determine area-averaged angular correlation functions, , to high orders (p≤ 9). The main sample used contains 650 745 galaxies below an extinction-corrected magnitude of Ks= 13.5 and limited to |b| > 10° and represents an ord...
