ABSTRACT We present an efficient estimator for higher order galaxy clustering using small groups of nearby galaxies, or multiplets. Using the Luminous Red Galaxy sample from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) Data Release 2, we identify galaxy multiplets as discrete objects and measure their cross-correlations with the general galaxy field. Our results show that the multiplets exhibit stronger clustering bias as they trace more massive dark matter haloes than individual galaxies. When comparing the observed clustering statistics with the mock catalogues generated from the N-body simulation AbacusSummit, we find that the mocks underpredict multiplet clustering despite reproducing the galaxy two-point autocorrelation reasonably well. This discrepancy indicates that the standard Halo Occupation Distribution (HOD) model is insufficient to describe the properties of galaxy multiplets, revealing the greater constraining power of this higher order statistic on galaxy–halo...
