TL;DR: In this paper, a large-scale correlation function measured from a spectroscopic sample of 46,748 luminous red galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey is presented, which is an excellent match to the predicted shape and location of the imprint of the recombination-epoch acoustic oscillations on the low-redshift clustering of matter.

Bamford,Kevin Schawinski,Chris Lintott,Dan Andreescu,Heather Campbell,Heather Campbell,Ben Crowcroft,I Doyle,Edward M. Edmondson,Phil Murray,M. Jordan Raddick,Anÿze Slosar,Alexander S. Szalay,Jan Vandenberg +18 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the spectroscopic properties and environments of red (or passive) spiral galaxies found by the Galaxy Zoo project were studied. But there are no obvious correlations between red spiral properties and environment suggesting that environment alone is not sufficient to determine whether a galaxy will become a red spiral.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a Fourier analysis of the clustering of galaxies in the combined main galaxy and LRG SDSS DR5 sample, and reveal a discrepancy between the shape of the measured power and linear CDM models on scales 0.01 h Mpc-1 < k < 0.15 h MPC-1.
