Description:
We have used the VLA to survey the fields of the three clusters of
galaxies; 0016+16, Abell 665 (0826+66) and Abell 2218 (1635+66) at
1440 MHz, 4860 MHz, and 14940 MHz (for the brighter sources). The
survey was aimed at finding radio sources which might contaminate the
Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect. We have detected 86 sources in these three
clusters and examined Palomar sky survey prints for possible optical
identifications.

Note (1): These columns give the name of the cluster which contains the
source and the number of the source within the field. The sources are
numbered independently for each of the 3 clusters.
Note (2): These columns give the B1950 position of the source The
positions were combined from measurements at each frequency, taking
account of possible systematic, frequency-dependent errors in the
locations of the radio centroids. Where the source was clearly
resolved, the center of the radio emission (either the location of a
point source, or the midpoint of extended lobes) was used for the
source position.
Note (3): flagged with a "<" when the corresponding flux densities are
upper limits.
Note (4): These columns give the flux density at 1440 MHz, 4860 MHz, and
14940 MHz, in mJy. The flux density scale is that of Baars, et. al
(1977A&A....61...99B 1977A&A....61...99B). It is important to note that these fields were
not systematically observed at 15 GHz; only the strongest sources were
targeted at that frequency.
Note (5): These columns are flagged with a "<" when the corresponding
major and minor axes sizes are upper limits.
Note (6): These columns give the angular size and position angle of the
sources. The major and minor axes are listed independently, in arcsec,
and the position angle is listed in degrees.
Note (7): This column gives radio and optical comments on the source,
separated by a semi-colon where both are given. Where reference is
made to a figure, the original paper listed that reference in the
angular size column and this reference has been moved to the comments
column for the electronic version of this catalogue. See the published
paper for the figures.
Note (8): These columns give the B1950 position and error of the optical
candidate of the source.
