A VLA Survey of Rich Clusters of Galaxies III. The weaker sources

Abstract

We present radio and optical parameters for 737 weak sources in 60 Abell cluster fields observed with the Very Large Array (VLA) using scaled arrays at 1.5 and 4.9 GHz. The measurements extend to a lower 1.5 GHz limit of 1.0 mJy and comprise a complete sample with 1.5-GHz flux density 2.5 S1.5 < 20 mJy The combined sky area within the half-power circle on the maps is 3.5 x 10-3 sr, and the cluster fields are distributed over 24 h of right ascension and between declinations +35deg and -30deg. Contour maps of the extended sources at 1.5 GHz are presented and source parameters such as position, angular size and spectral index are tabulated. We also derive the emitted power and linear size for those sources with published redshifts. We try to identify the radio sources with optical images on the Palomar and SERC survey plates and give their accurate optical positions, morphologies and apparent magnitudes.

Description:
    We observed 60 fields towards 57 Abell and one Zwicky cluster of galaxies 
    using the Very Large Array (VLA) with scaled arrays at 1.5 and 4.9 GHz. 
    The source catalogue contains radio and optical parameters for 994 sources 
    up to a lower flux limit of 1.0 mJy at 1.5 GHz and comprises a complete sample 
    above 2.5 mJy. The combined sky area within the half-power circle on the maps 
    is 3.5 10^-3 sr, and the cluster fields are distributed between +35 deg
    and -30 deg declination. The source catalogue list positions, angular
    size, spectral index and optical identification, magnitude and morphology,
    if available.

Note on catalog:
   The source catalogues from papers II and III were merged, as well as
   the radio and the optical information joined into a single table. For
   each source only the most likely optical candidates (if any) were
   retained. This merged table replaces the one published in paper I
   =1989AuJPh..42..633Slee+ ). Tables on structural details of multiple 
   sources as published in papers II and III are available upon request 
   to the authors.

Note (1):
   'A' stands for 'Abell cluster' and Z1518.8 stands for the Zwicky cluster
   Zw1518.8+0747. Two clusters (A 85 and A154) were observed with two
   different field centers.

Note (2):
  *= The RA is from Abell et al. (1989). The incorrect RA of Abell (1958)
     was used for the radio field centre - hence the large offset.

Note (1):
  The source name is composed of the name of cluster (A=Abell, Z=Zwicky, in
  A5 format), an underscore symbol, the source running number within the
  observed field (optionally appended by a roman numeral), and an optional list 
  of subcomponents (a, ab, abc...) which indicate the presence of more detailed 
  structural data in tables 3 and 4 of both papers II and III. Note that Z1518 
  stands for the Zwicky cluster Zw1518.8+0747. The source running numbers are 
  those of paper I. However, a few of the weak sources listed in Paper I (e.g.
  A0133_10) were omitted because subsequent analysis showed that they were 
  probably spurious. To avoid later confusion, the additional sources are 
  inserted in the Table at the correct right ascension but are given an 
  extra lower case Roman numeral.  For example, the source A0013_13 in table 2 
  of paper I is now A0013_13i, while the source A0013_13ii_ab of slightly 
  later RA (as well as two components a and b) has been inserted in the 
  present source list.  In one case two sources (A1913_6 and A1913_8) were 
  merged to a single source (A1913_6,8).


Note (2):
  The spectrum is defined as F(freq)~freq^alpha. The spectral index is
  between 1.5 and 4.9 GHz. When no 4.9 GHz flux is listed in the table,
  the spectral index is between 1.5 GHz and another frequency taken from
  references quoted in the printed version of the papers.

Note (3):
  An elliptical Gaussian was fitted to the source. The quoted values are
  the full widths at half power, deconvolved with the antenna beam,
  and corrected for bandwidth smearing.

Note (4):
  The optical identifications were classified into the following categories:
  E    = elliptical galaxy (ie. visibly extended, surrounded by a diffuse
         structureless halo with axial ratio <~2
  D    = elliptical galaxy several times larger than all neighbouring galaxies
         if well away from cluster centre
  cD   = same as D if close to the cluster centre
  DB   = two barely resolved elliptical galaxies (dumb-bell galaxy)
  G    = galaxy (diffuse image too faint to assign a galaxy class)
  Q    = quasar known from literature
  S0   = as 'E' above but with an axial ratio >~2 
  Sp   = spiral galaxy (galaxy with considerable structure in the halo)
  St   = image with a sharp circular boundary and sometimes showing
         diffraction spikes

  The symbol 'x2' is appended to double objects, for which the summed magnitude
  is quoted in the subsequent colums. Very faint images are difficult 
  to assign to the G or St categories and often the choice is rather arbitrary.
  If an image was detected on the B_j plates, but not on the red POSS prints
  a conservative upper limit of ">19.5" is quoted for the red magnitude.
