2PCF as a function of line of sight (π) and perpendicular distance (r_⊥) for halos (left plot), observed LAEs (middle), and S-LAE sample (right) in real space at z = 4. The dashed contours correspond to ξ = 1, contours are separated by 0.4. The number density of all threshold samples is 4 × 10^-2 Mpc^-3 h³. The plots were averaged over three different lines of sight to reduce cosmic variance.
