Ob. Slee et al., A VLA SURVEY OF RICH CLUSTERS OF GALAXIES .2. THE STRONGER SOURCES - MAPS, POLARIZATIONS AND IDENTIFICATIONS, Australian journal of physics, 47(2), 1994, pp. 145-243
We present detailed radio and optical parameters for the stronger radi
o sources iri 58 Abell cluster fields observed with the Very Large Arr
ay (VLA) using scaled arrays at 1.5 and 4.9 GHz. These sources compris
e a complete sample with 1.5 GHz flux density greater-than-or-equal-to
20 mJy and cover a combined sky area of 3.5 x 10(-5) sr. The cluster
fields were distributed over 24 h of RA and between declinations +35-d
egrees and -30-degrees. Contour maps at two frequencies are presented
and source parameters such as position, angular size, spectral index,
linear polarisation and core flux density are tabulated. We also deriv
e the emitted power and linear size for those sources close to the clu
ster centres and therefore highly likely to be cluster members. We att
empt to identify all these radio sources with optical images on the Pa
lomar and SERC survey plates and give their accurate optical coordinat
es, morphologies and apparent magnitudes.
