\tablecomments{Luminosity dependent quasar clustering using a cross-correlation technique between CS82 galaxies ($M < 23.5$) and SDSS, BOSS, and 2SLAQ quasars \hbox{($0.5 < z < 1.0$)}. The quasars were broken up into the \nicefrac{1}{3} brightest and \nicefrac{2}{3} dimmest, and a cross-correlation function was calculated between a range of \hbox{$[0.3-3.0]$ Mpc}. A power-law fit to the data of the form $\xi(r) = (r_0 / r)^\gamma$ found that $\gamma = 1.77$ and $r_0 = 6.19$ for the bright sample and $r_0 = 4.48$ for the dim sample.}
