## Abstract

We apply second order Andersen-Weeks-Chandler perturbation theory to the one-component sticky-hard-spheres fluid. We compare the results with the mean spherical approximation, the Percus-Yevick approximation, two generalized Percus-Yevick approximations, and the Monte Carlo simulations.
