Phys. Rev. Lett. 55, 1801–1804 (1985)Cosmic strings and the correlations of Abell clustersReceived 25 June 1985; published in the issue dated 21 October 1985 The two-point spatial correlation function for cosmic string loops in an expanding universe is determined and shown to closely match the observed two-point correlation function for clusters of galaxies. Further implications for the string theory of galaxy formation are discussed. © 1985 The American Physical Society URL:
