The Bull's-Eye Effect as a Probe of $\Omega$
  We compare the statistical properties of structures normal and transverse to the line of sight which appear in theoretical N-body simulations of structure formation, and seem also to be present in observational data from redshift surveys. We present a statistic which can quantify this effect in a conceptually different way from standard analyses of distortions of the power-spectrum or correlation function. From tests with $N$--body experiments, we argue that this statistic represents a new and potentially powerful diagnostic of the cosmological density parameter, $\Omega_0$.
