UV-selected galaxy redshift survey

DOI

The table contains the first results of a spectroscopic survey of galaxies constructed from a flux-limited sample of stars, galaxies and QSOs imaged at 2000{AA} with the FOCA balloon-borne imaging camera (see Milliard et al., 1992A&A...257...24M) The galaxies were selected in the rest frame ultraviolet (UV), in Selected Area 57. Accurate positions for the UV sources have been obtained by matching with optical counterparts using APM scans of the Palomar Sky Survey limited at B=20.5. The results presented here are derived from optical spectroscopy conducted with the WIYN telescope and the WHT for 142 faint sources. The redshift distribution for this UV- selected sample extends over 0<z<0.5, and a high fraction of the sources show intense nebular emission lines and UV-optical colours bluer than normal Hubble sequence galaxies. Updated results for these galaxies were published later (see Sullivan et al. 2000, Cat. )
