Abstract: We present a measurement of clustering properties of low-mass galaxies at 1 < z < 4 in 24.4 arcmin2 of the GOODS-North region with a depth of KAB ∼ 25. For massive galaxies with M* ≥ 1010M, we estimate the correlation length and bias to be r0 ∼ 4.5 h−1 Mpc and b = 1.9–3.5, which are much larger than those of low-mass (M* ≤ 109−10M) galaxies. The comparison of our measurements with analytic cold dark matter (CDM) models constrains the properties of hosting dark halos, and indicates that the low-mass galaxies are progenitors of galaxies with a typical luminosity of LL* in the local Universe.
