Scientific paper

The angular correlation function has been computed for a two-color survey of faint galaxies covering an approximately 2.4 sq deg area near the North Galactic Pole. Faint galaxies are found to belong to a population that is more weakly clustered than luminous nearby galaxies, by a factor over about 2 at J = 22 and over about 4 at J = 24. Objects selected in the F (red) band are closer to model predictions than those observed in the J band. These observations are interpreted in terms of models in which (weakly clustered) bursting dwarf galaxies comprise the bulk of the number counts at faint magnitudes.
