Nicolaci Abstract The two-point spatial correlation function for loose groups of galaxies is computed, using the recently compiled catalog of groups in the southern hemisphere. We find that the correlation function for groups has a similar slope to that of galaxies but with a smaller amplitude, confirming an earlier result obtained from a similar analysis of the CfA group catalog. This implies that groups of galaxies are more randomly distriubuted than galaxies, which may be consistent with the predictions of Kashlinsky for a gravitational clustering scenario for the formation of large-scale structures.
