Extract

The third UHURU catalogue of X-ray sources lists 64 sources at galactic latitudes higher than 20°, many of which have been identified with galaxies and clusters of galaxies. One of the best criteria for identifying a cluster of galaxies with an X-ray source is the extended nature of the X-ray source. Table I is a compilation of all clusters of galaxies known to be within the boundaries of X-ray error boxes. Not all have measured X-ray angular sizes (see column 3). Since the southern sky has been inspected too (Vidal 1975a), we believe that this list may represent a complete sample (down to the sensitivity of the UHURU satellite and the completeness of the Abell catalogue and the southern survey). Column 1 gives the optical identification, column 2 the 3U designation, column 3 the X-ray angular radius, column 4 the radio spectral index (see below), column 5 the redshift (corrected for galactic rotation) and column 6 the X-ray luminosities assuming the Hubble law. Numbers in parentheses give the references for the entries. When no such references are given, the data have been taken from Kellogg et al. (1973) and Bancall (1974).
