Abstract

Description

Statistical overdensities of radio sources in the NRAO VLA Sky Survey (NVSS) catalogue have proven to be signposts to high-redshift clusters of galaxies. A similar search for overdensities has been carried out in the Sydney University Molonglo Sky Survey (SUMSS), which is closely matched in resolution and frequency to the NVSS. Sixty potential southern-hemisphere clusters have been found in SUMSS.
