Abstract:
    In this paper we report and discuss the results of a radio survey in
    the A3571 cluster complex, a structure located in the Shapley
    Concentration core, and formed by the three clusters A3571, A3572 and
    A3575. The survey was carried out simultaneously at 22cm and 13cm with
    the Australia Telescope Compact Array, and led to the detection of 124
    radio sources at 22cm. The radio source counts in this region are in
    agreement with the background counts. Among the 36 radio sources with
    optical counterpart, six have a measured redshift that places them at
    the distance of the A3571 cluster complex, and nine radio sources have
    optical counterparts most likely members of this cluster complex. All
    of the radio galaxies emit at low power level, i.e. P_22cm_<=10^22.6^
    W/Hz. A number of them are likely to be starburst galaxies.

Note (1): a: The optical counterpart is most likely a star.
Note (2): R parameter:
          R^2^= Delta(r-o)^2^/(sigma_g_^2^+sigma_r_^2^), where
   Delta(r-o) is the positional offset between the radio and optical
              coordinates,
   sigma_g_ is the optical position error and
   sigma_r_ is the uncertainty in the radio position.
Note (3):
   b: The optical candidate falls within the radio isocontours of the
      double structure.
   c: These identifications have R>3, however, due to the extent of the
      radio emission and/or of the optical counterpart, we can consider them
      reliable since the optical counterpart falls within the radio contours.
