Description
We present the results of approximately three years of observations of
Planck Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) sources with the Russian-Turkish 1.5 m
telescope (RTT150), as a part of the optical follow-up programme
undertaken by the Planck collaboration. During this time period
approximately 20% of all dark and grey clear time available at the
telescope was devoted to observations of Planck objects. Some
observations of distant clusters were also done at the 6 m Bolshoi
Telescope Alt-azimutalnyi (BTA) of the Special Astrophysical Observatory
of the Russian Academy of Sciences. In total, deep, direct images of
more than one hundred fields were obtained in multiple filters. We
identified 47 previously unknown galaxy clusters, 41 of which are
included in the Planck catalogue of SZ sources. The redshifts of 65
Planck clusters were measured spectroscopically and 14 more were
measured photometrically. We discuss the details of cluster optical
identifications and redshift measurements. We also present new
spectroscopic redshifts for 39 Planck clusters that were not included in
the Planck SZ source catalogue and are published here for the first
time.
