Scientific paper

The scaling properties of galaxy clustering are explored through an analysis of the new redshift survey of the Perseus-Pisces region and of other published data. At small separations the 'standard' scaling is measured, with the well-known correlation dimension D = 1.2 shown by the two-point correlation analyses. On larger scales, however, the existence of a second range is evidenced with a different scaling characterized by a correlation dimension D = 2.2. Homogeneity seems to be reached for separations greater than 30/h Mpc. The possible implications of this result concerning the origin of structure are discussed.
