Abstract

The relation between the mean separationd of clusters of galaxies and their mean richnessN is found to be well represented byd=3.4N2/3. Both this observed result and the Bahcall-Soneira relation(that is, the spatial correlations of clusters of galaxies are increased with their richness) are well explained by the cosmic string picture, lending support to the cosmic-string theory.
