Abstract
The radio properties of a sample of 91 cD galaxies in Abell clusters are presented. The radio data consist of new 6 cm VLA maps with a resolution of 1″-2″ as well as data from the literature. The principal goal of this project was to investigate the possible effects of global and local cluster properties on the radio properties of cDs. The dominant predictor of central radio activity is the presence of x-ray cooling flows, as reported in Paper I [Burns, J. O., AJ, 99, 14 (1990)].
