Resumo
We present two catalogues of galaxies in the direction of the rich cluster ABCG 85. The first one includes 4232 galaxies located in a region ± 1° from the cluster centre. It has been obtained from a list of more than 25000 galaxy candidates detected by scanning a Schmidt photographic plate taken in the B_J band. Positions are very accurate in this catalogue but magnitudes are not. This led us to perform CCD imaging observations in the V and R bands to calibrate these photographic magnitudes. A second catalogue (805 galaxies) gives a list of galaxies with CCD magnitudes in the V and R bands for a much smaller region in the centre of the cluster. These two catalogues will be combined with a redshift catalogue of 509 galaxies cite[(Durret et al. 1997)]{dur97} to investigate the cluster properties at optical wavelengths cite[(Durret et al., in preparation)]{dur97}, as a complement to our previous X-ray studies cite[(Pislar et al. 1997;]{pis97} cite[Lima-Neto et al. 1997)]{lim97}. Based on plates scanned with the MAMA microdensitometer at CAI, Paris and on observations collected at the European Southern Observatory, La Silla, Chile.
