Superseded  Redshifts & Velocity Dispersions for Abell Clusters (Strubel+ 1987)

A Compilation of Redshifts and Velocity Dispersions for Abell Clusters

Abstract:
   The catalog contains redshifts and velocity dispersions for all Abell
   clusters for which these data had been published up to 1986 July. Also
   included are 1950 equatorial coordinates for the centers of the listed
   clusters, numbers of observations used to determine the redshifts, and
   bibliographical references citing the data sources.

Introduction:
   The present compilation was undertaken in connection with the authors'
   statistical studies of the morphological and structural properties of
   Abell clusters (Struble and Rood 1982, 1984, 1987b, 1987c). The list
   contains redshift data for 578 Abell clusters and velocity-dispersion
   data for 77. It supersedes previous compilations of Fetisova (1982) and
   Sarazin, Struble, and Rood (1982). A separate file contains a list of 16
   Abell clusters having published redshifts that are probably measurements
   of foreground or background galaxies in the line of sight toward each
   referenced Abell cluster.
