Abstract
A new technique which uses Oo as an input variable. for identifying gravitationally bound, dynamically isolated virialized groups of galaxies £ram a magnitude limited catalog is developed. The technique has been applied to the CfA redshift survey. In this thesis only the binary systems have been analyzed. Using a self-consistency argument. a value of Oo = 0.03 ~ 0.01 was obtained.
