          large-scale structure of universe

Abstract:
    We present a comparison of how well the large-scale structure of the
    universe is traced by clusters from the Abell catalog and from the
    Automated Plate Measuring Facility (APM). We investigate selection
    functions for both cluster catalogs, using samples of all clusters
    (including clusters with estimated redshifts) and samples of clusters
    with measured redshifts. We present a catalog of superclusters of
    galaxies, based on APM clusters up to a redshift z_lim_=0.13.
