Three-Point Correlations of Abell Clusters
Abstract
The irreducible three-point correlations of Abell clusters are estimated using all distance class 5 + 6 clusters with a latitude greater than or equal to 40 deg. It is found that the clusters satisfy a relation between the two- and three-point correlation functions similar to that for galaxies. There is a strong discrepancy between the northern and southern galactic caps.
