Scientific paper

The 3-point correlation function of clusters of galaxies, with the moment method, on 3D samples is studied. A fit with the so-called hierarchical model expression is found to be acceptable. Discrepancies between north and south hemispheres, previously detected in 2D samples, are substantially reduced, and the results of north and south estimates are marginally consistent within internal errors. The mean value of the constant Q is about 0.7, in accordance with the previous studies. The Kirkwood superposition expression, possibly indicating strong bias, cannot be excluded by this 3D study.
