From Abell's (1958) list of clusters of galaxies, 137 clusters of distance group 5 were observed at 1410 MHz with the 210 ft radio telescope of the Australian National Radio Astronomy Observatory at Parkes. The detected radio sources were further confirmed hy observations at 2650 MHz with the same telescope and at 408 MHz with the east-west arm of the Mills Cross at the Molonglo Radio Astronomical Observatory. A total of 25 radio sources was detected within 5' arc of the centres of corresponding clusters of galaxies, while the mathematical expectation of the number of random coincidences with clusters is about two or three

The positions of 33 radio sources previously identified with distant clusters of galaxies were remeasured more accurately to check the identifications. Observations were made at 1410 and 2650 MHz with the 210 ft radio telescope of the Australian National Radio Astronomy Observatory at Parkes, and at 408 MHz with the east-west arm of the Mills Cross at the Molonglo Radio Astronomical Observatory of the University of Sydney. It was found that 21 sources are situated within 5 min of arc of the centres of the corresponding clusters.

In radio astronomy it is becoming increasingly important to know the distance of the radio sources. An identification with astronomical objects observed optically is then more readily obtained and this in turn may allow further investigation of the mechanism of radio emission. A measurement of the distance of sources will also resolve the problem of their distribution in space, showing which are galactic and which are extra-galactic. Furthermore the surface area and absolute luminosity can be estimated from a knowledge of the distance and angular size of a source.

The existence of ‘haloes’ in clusters of galaxies was deduced by Ryle and Windram (1968) for the Perseus cluster and by Willson (1970) for the Coma cluster at 408 MHz by comparing total flux measured by a single dish with the sum of fluxes of radio sources found in the field. A direct measurement of the extended source Coma C was made by Jaffe et al. (1976) at 610 MHz. the failure to detect the halo of Coma at higher frequencies is attributed by all authors to a steep spectrum of this extended component.

The density of intergalactic gas may be an important parameter in the formation of extended radio sources. It may range from ∼ 0.1 particle cm−3 in the centres of some rich clusters of galaxies down to 10−8cm−3 or less in intercluster space. The possible influence of the intracluster gas surrounding NGC 1275 on its radio emission is discussed, and the possibility that a significant fraction of the X-ray background is due to a hot intergalactic medium is explored in some detail.

Fifty-eight clusters from Abell's catalogue have been examined for radio emission using the Arecibo l000 ft reflector and the Molonglo 1 mile Cross. The positions, sizes, and flux densities at 408 MHz of 30 radio sources close to these clusters have been measured. Nineteen of these offer reasonable identifications with galaxies or blue stellar objects. Thirteen appear to be identifiable with individual cluster galaxies. No evidence for integrated cluster emission has been obtained. It has been concluded that either the centroid of radio sources may sometimes be well displaced from the parent galaxies or, in a significant number of cases, the only detectable radio source in a cluster is associated with a faint cluster galaxy, not a giant.

AbstractIn August 2017 a new radio telescope, the Ghana Radio Astronomy Observatory (GRAO), was officially inaugurated at Kuntunse, Ghana. The GRAO is a former satellite Earth station and now the first operational station in the African VLBI Network (AVN). The Jodrell Bank Centre for Astrophysics (JBCA), supported by the UK’s STFC/Newton Fund, has developed a new pulsar timing system (Hebe) for the GRAO. We present some aspects of the design of Hebe and an outline of the first pulsar detection at GRAO.

The Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope (WSRT) has now been used to make source surveys at frequencies of 610 and 1415 MHz. This paper summarizes the results concerning source counts and anisotropies in the distribution of sources from those surveys not concerned with clusters of galaxies.
