VII/201 Cross-Identifications in Abell and Zwicky clusters (Kalinkov+ 1998) ================================================================================ Cross-Identifications in the Abell and Zwicky clusters of galaxies Kalinkov M., Valtchanov I., Kuneva I. ================================================================================ ADC_Keywords: Clusters, galaxy ; Cross identifications Description: A new identification between Abell and Zwicky clusters of galaxies and vice versa is completed. Two convenient files are generated with necessary data for comparing both catalogs; remarks on the cluster matching are also included.
