摘要：Aims. ThePlanckcatalogues of Sunyaev –Zeldovich (SZ) sources, PSZ1 and PSZ2, are the largest catalogues of galaxy clusters selected through their SZ signature in the full sky. In 2013, we started a long-term observational programme at Canary Island observatories with the aim of validating ∼500 unconfirmed SZ sources. In this work we present results of the initial pre-screening of possible cluster counterparts using photometric and spectroscopic data of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey DR12. Our main aim is to identify previously unconfirmed PSZ2 cluster candidates and to contribute in the determination of the actual purity and completeness ofPlanckSZ source sample.Methods. Using the latest version of the PSZ2 catalogue, we selected all sources overlapping with the SDSS DR12 footprint and without redshift information. We validated these cluster fields following optical criteria (mainly distance with respect to thePlanckpointing, magnitude of the brightest cluster galaxy, and cluster richness), and combined these criteria with the profiles of thePlanckComptony-maps. This combined procedure allows for a more robust identification of optical counterparts compared to simply cross-matching with existing SDSS cluster catalogues that have been constructed from earlier SDSS data releases.Results. The sample contains new redshifts for 37Planckgalaxy clusters that were not included in the original release of PSZ2Planckcatalogue. We detect three cases as possible multiple counterparts. We show that a combination of all available information (optical images and profile of SZ signal) can provide correct associations between the observedPlanckSZ source and the optically identified cluster. We also show thatPlanckSZ detection is very sensitive even to high-z(z> 0.5) clusters. In addition, we also present updated spectroscopic information for 34PlanckPSZ1 sources (33 previously photometrically confirmed and 1 new identification).
