The galaxy 3-point correlation function of WiggleZ galaxies
Marin Perucci, Felipe (Swinburne University of Technology)

The 3-point correlation function (3PCF) is a complementary measure of clustering which adds important information about galaxy bias, cosmological parameters and galaxy population models. We present results of the 3-point correlation function of galaxies from the WiggleZ galaxy survey. At a median redshift of z=0.6, the highest redshift where the 3PCF has been measured to date, the 3PCF allow us to obtain independent estimations of the galaxy bias, which combined with the 2-point correlation function measurements, provides constraints in the normalization of the dark matter power spectrum and the growth rate, which can be compared with the LCDM expectations.
