Description
We present the results of approximately three years of observations of
Planck Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) sources with telescopes at the Canary
Islands observatories as part of the general optical follow-up programme
undertaken by the Planck Collaboration. In total, 78 SZ sources are
discussed. Deep-imaging observations were obtained for most of these
sources; spectroscopic observations in either in long-slit or
multi-object modes were obtained for many. We effectively used 37.5
clear nights. We found optical counterparts for 73 of the 78 candidates.
This sample includes 53 spectroscopic redshift determinations, 20 of
them obtained with a multi-object spectroscopic mode. The sample
contains new redshifts for 27 Planck clusters that were not included in
the first Planck SZ source catalogue (PSZ1).
