P. ; Iovino, Angela ; Bonometto, Silvio A. Abstract Detecting a 3-point correlation function for a set of clustered objects gives significant information on the nature of the clustering. Analyzing available quasar samples, we find that their 3-point correlation function does not vanish, but is likely to be smaller than for ordinary galaxies. A clustering model based on the Kirkwood superposition hypothesis, as expected for objects related to very high fluctuation peaks, seems to be excluded. Rather, the possibility that quasars are a phenomenon associated with primeval galaxy evolution seems favored. The analysis is significant also from a technical point of view, it outlines some difficulties found when analyzing a sample consisting of many small subsamples, and how they can be possibly overcome.
