VLA OBSERVATIONS OF DRAGNS IN THE 3CR AND 6C B2 2-JY SURVEYS/

We present total intensity radio images of a collection of 48 radio ga laxies and quasars, drawn from a combined sample of the 3CR catalogue and the overlapping 6C and B2 catalogues. The 6C and B2 samples are se lected at a flux density level at which the differential source counts exceed by the greatest amount the counts predicted for a non-evolving Friedmann cosmology. The new observations presented here complete a s et of high-quality radio data for these samples: in conjunction with n ew optical/infrared data they should provide new insight into the cosm ological evolution of this source population. The sources were observe d with the VLA, at one or more of the following frequencies: 1.4 GHz, 5 GHz, 8.4 GHz. Basic source parameters are derived from each image, I mages of individual sources are briefly discussed. The sources are cla ssified morphologically according to their degree of core dominance R. The distributions of morphologies for 3CR and '6C/B2' sources are com pared and discussed.
