Spectroscopic Redshift Measurements for Galaxy Clusters Detected in the Planck All-Sky Survey

Abstract: We present the results of spectroscopic redshift measurements for galaxy clusters from the catalogue compiled previously from Planck all-sky survey data in combination with Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and WISE data in the optical and infrared ranges. Most of these clusters are massive objects that will also be detected in future all-sky surveys, such as the eROSITA all-sky X-ray survey onboard the Spectrum–Roentgen–Gamma (SRG) space observatory. The spectroscopic observations of these galaxy clusters have been carried out with the 1.5-m Russian–Turkish telescope (RTT150), the 1.6-m Sayan Observatory AZT-33IK telescope, and the 6-m SAO RAS telescope (Bolshoi Teleskop Azimutalnyi, BTA). The spectroscopic redshift measurements have been obtained for 67 galaxy clusters, including 12 galaxy clusters from the second Planck catalogue of Sunyaev–Zeldovich sources.
