| Popis: | We analysed the clustering of a photometric sample of galaxy clusters selected from the Third Data Release of the Kilo-Degree Survey, focusing on the redshift-space two-point correlation function (2PCF). We compared our measurements to theoretical predictions of the standard $\Lambda$ cold dark matter ($\Lambda$CDM) cosmological model. We measured the 2PCF of the sample in the cluster centric radial range $r\in[5,80]$ $h^{-1}$Mpc, considering 4934 galaxy clusters with richness $\lambda^*\geq15$ in the redshift range $z\in[0.1,0.6]$. A Markov chain Monte Carlo analysis has been performed to constrain the cosmological parameters $\Omega_{\rm m}$, $\sigma_8$, and $S_8 \equiv \sigma_8(\Omega_{\rm m}/0.3)^{0.5}$, assuming Gaussian priors on the mass-richness relation given by the posteriors obtained from a joint analysis of cluster counts and weak lensing. In addition, we constrained the normalisation of the mass-richness relation, $\alpha$, with fixed cosmological parameters. We obtained $\Omega_{\rm m}=0.28^{+0.05}_{-0.04}$, $\sigma_8=0.82^{+0.14}_{-0.12}$, and $S_8=0.80^{+0.08}_{-0.08}$. The constraint on $S_8$ is consistent within 1$\sigma$ with the results from WMAP and Planck. Furthermore, by fixing the cosmological parameters to those provided by Planck, we obtained $\alpha=0.12^{+0.06}_{-0.06}$, which is fully consistent with the result obtained from the joint analysis of cluster counts and weak lensing performed for this sample.
