Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
We study the clustering of the highest z galaxies (from ~0.1 to a few tens Mpc scales) using the BLUETIDES simulation and compare it to current observational constraints from Hubble legacy and Hyper Suprime Cam (HSC) fields (at z = 6-7.2). With a box length of 400 Mpc h-1 on each side and 0.7 trillion particles, BLUETIDES is the largest volume highresolution cosmological hydrodynamic simulation to date ideally suited for studies of high-z galaxies. We find that galaxies with magnitude mUV < 27.7 have a bias (b) of 8.1 ± 1.2 at z = 8, and typical halo masses M ≳ 6 × 10M. Given the redshift evolution between z = 8 and z = 10 [b α (1 + z)], our inferred values of the bias and halo masses are consistent with measured angular clustering at z ~ 6.8 from these brighter samples. The bias of fainter galaxies (in the Hubble legacy field at H ≲ 29.5) is 5.9 ± 0.9 at z = 8 corresponding to halo masses M ≳ 10M. We investigate directly the 1-halo term in the clustering and show that it dominates on scales r ≲ 0.1 Mpc h (Θ ≲ 3 arcsec) with non-linear effect at transition scales between the one-halo and two-halo term affecting scales 0.1 Mpc h≲ r ≲ 20 Mpc h (3 arcsec ≲ Θ ≲ 90 arcsec). Current clustering measurements probe down to the scales in the transition between one-halo and two-halo regime where non-linear effects are important. The amplitude of the one-halo term implies that occupation numbers for satellites in BLUETIDES are somewhat higher than standard halo occupation distributions adopted in these analyses (which predict amplitudes in the one-halo regime suppressed by a factor 2-3). That possibly implies a higher number of galaxies detected by JWST (at small scales and even fainter magnitudes) observing these fields.
