摘要： In a recent study, we developed a method to model the impact of photometric redshift uncertainty on the two-point correlation function (2PCF). In this method, we can obtain both the intrinsic clustering strength and the photometric redshift errors simultaneously by fitting the projected 2PCF with two integration depths along the line-of-sight. Here we apply this method to the DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys Data Release 8 (LS DR8), the largest galaxy sample currently available. We separate galaxies into 20 samples in 8 redshift bins from $z=0.1$ to $z=1.0$, and a few $\rm z$-band absolute magnitude bins, with $M_{\rm z} \le -20$. These galaxies are further separated into red and blue sub-samples according to their $M^{0.5}_{\rm r}-M^{0.5}_{\rm z}$ colors. We measure the projected 2PCFs for all these galaxy (sub-)samples, and fit them using our photometric redshift 2PCF model. We find that the photometric redshift errors are smaller in red sub-samples than the overall population. On the other hand, there might be some systematic photometric redshift errors in the blue sub-samples, so that some of the sub-samples show significantly enhanced 2PCF at large scales. Therefore, focusing only on the red and all (sub-)samples, we find that the biases of galaxies in these (sub-)samples show clear color, redshift and luminosity dependencies, in that red brighter galaxies at higher redshift are more biased than their bluer and low redshift counterparts. Apart from the best fit set of parameters, $\sigma_{z}$ and $b$, from this state-of-the-art photometric redshift survey, we obtain high precision intrinsic clustering measurements for these 40 red and all galaxy (sub-)samples. These measurements on large and small scales hold important information regarding the cosmology and galaxy formation, which will be used in our subsequent probes in this series.

摘要： We extend the halo-based group finder developed by \citet[][]{Yang2005a} to
use data {\it simultaneously} with either photometric or spectroscopic
redshifts. A mock galaxy redshift survey constructed from a high-resolution
N-body simulation is used to evaluate the performance of this extended group
finder. For galaxies with magnitude ${\rm z\le 21}$ and redshift $0
