الوصف: | We measure the two point correlation function (CF) of 1357 galaxy clusters with a mass of $\log_{10}{M_{200}}\geq 13.6$~\hm~and at a redshift of $z \leq 0.125$. This work differs from previous analyses in that it utilizes a spectroscopic cluster catalogue, $\mathtt{SDSS-GalWCat}$, to measure the CF and detect the baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) signal. Unlike previous studies which use statistical techniques, we compute covariance errors directly by generating a set of 1086 galaxy cluster lightcones from the GLAM $N$-body simulation. Fitting the CF with a power-law model of the form $\xi(s) = (s/s_0)^{-\gamma}$, we determine the best-fit correlation length and power-law index at three mass thresholds. We find that the correlation length increases with increasing the mass threshold while the power-law index is almost constant. For $\log_{10}{M_{200}}\geq 13.6$~\hm, we find $s_0 = 14.54\pm0.87$~\h~and $\gamma=1.97\pm0.11$. We detect the BAO signal at $s = 100$~\h~with a significance of $1.60 \sigma$. Fitting the CF with a $\Lambda$CDM model, we find $D_\mathrm{V}(z = 0.089)\mathrm{r}^{fid}_d/\mathrm{r}_d = 267.62 \pm 26$ \h, consistent with Planck 2015 cosmology. We present a set of 108 high-fidelity simulated galaxy cluster lightcones from the high-resolution \U~N-body simulation, employed for methodological validation. We find $D_\mathrm{V}(z = 0.089)/r_d = 2.666 \pm 0.129$, indicating that our method does not introduce any bias in the parameter estimation for this small sample of galaxy clusters.
