Abstract

Observational parameters which can be used for redshift-independent distance determination using the Tully-Fisher (TF) technique are given for 782 spiral galaxies in the fields of 24 clusters or groups. I band photometry for the full sample was either obtained by us or compiled from published literature. Rotational velocities are derived either from 21 cm spectra or optical emission line long--slit spectra, and converted to a homogeneous scale. In addition to presenting the data, a discussion of the various sources of error on TF parameters is introduced, and the criteria for the assignment of membership to each cluster are given. The construction of a TF template, bias corrections and cluster motions are discussed in an accompanying paper.<br />Comment: 38 pages, 3 tables, 18 figures, uses AAS LaTex; to appear in AJ Jan 97 Table 2 consists of 23 pages. Only the first page is included here. If you wish to obtain the full file, contact riccardo@astrosun.tn.cornell.edu. Similarly, figures 2-12 are quite large and require valuable space; only fig. 2 is included here. Figures 3-12 are analogous (for different clusters) and can be obtained by writing to the same address as above
