We present the results of optical identification of 248
interplanetary scintillating (IPS) radio sources from the Pushchino Survey
(PS) in the area of 0.11 sr with the center at
.
All 260 counterparts of IPS radio sources from the 7C and FIRST
catalogues, which had been found in Paper I, were considered.
We used USNO–B1.0 catalogue (limiting magnitude
)
for the optical identification
and searched the literature to find optical data for fainter objects.
Photometric and spectroscopic observations were conducted on the 1 m and 6 m
telescopes of SAO RAS. Optical magnitudes or deep limits for 22 objects
and redshifts for 26 ones have been obtained.
In total, we collected optical data for 116 (68 with redshift)
counterparts of the PS radio sources.
For the subsample of the PS quasars (41 objects) the redshift distribution
was compared to those of several other samples of quasars
(BRL, 3CRR, MQS, B3–VLA, 7CRS I–III and PKS 0.25 Jy)
which have complete or nearly complete redshift information.
