Abstract
The southern extension of the Abell Catalogue of Rich Clusters of Galaxies has been completed (Abell, Corwin and Olowin 1989, hereafter ACO) and for the most part is compatible with the survey done by Abell in 1957. The southern data have been collected from the ESO/SRC southern sky survey, using the UK 1.2-m Schmidt Telescope IIIa-J plates and films, and have been reduced to the systems defined by the northern data previously published by Abell (1958). A revised northern catalogue, including Bautz-Morgan types and redshifts where known, is also included in the new complilation. The new catalogue contains data on 4073 rich clusters of galaxies, each of which has at least 30 members within the magnitude range m 3 to m 3 +2, where m 3 is the magnitude of the third brightest cluster member, and with each cluster having a nominal redshift less than 0.2.
