Abstract:
We present spectroscopic and photometric data for 920 galaxies
selected in 68 fields of the Aquarius Cluster Catalog. Typically, the
15 brightest candidate members with magnitudes in the range 16<bJ<21
were selected for observations, and ∼71% turn out to be cluster
members. Using the new redshift determinations, we assign galaxies to
groups and clusters, and by including data from the literature we
calculate systemic velocities and velocity dispersions for 74
clusters, each with redshifts measured for at least six individual
galaxies.
Description:
We carried out 25 observing runs between 1994 and 2000, using three
telescopes: the 1.52m telescope of La Silla Observatory (ESO, Chile),
the 1.60m telescope of Observatorio do Pico dos Dias (OPD/LNA,
Brazil), and the 2.15m telescope of Complejo Astronomico El Leoncito
(CASLEO, Argentina).

A = Quality flag A ("Excellent" - absorption and/or emission lines
are well defined, and the R parameter is much greater than 3);
B = Quality flag B ("Good" - absorption and/or emission lines
confirmed by visual inspection or similar radial velocities
for most of the templates, but small R (between 2 and 4));
C = Quality flag C ("Marginal" - value of R greater than 2, but with
features either in absorption and/or emission too weak to be firmly
confirmed).

B# = position of the brightest cluster galaxy (where # is the number of
giant elliptical galaxies considered as BCGs of the cluster),
B? = the BCG is not clearly defined;
G = geometric mean of the positions of galaxies confirmed as cluster
members.
