Description:
The above paper describes the compilation of the second Kiso UV-Excess
galaxies survey as KUG2 catalogue. The result is shown in VII/994. The first
survey catalogue KUG1 is shown in VII/179A.
As is described in the paper, there are some differences between KUG1 and
KUG2, e.g. in photographic plates used and the observation condition in the
surveys, such as emulsions, exposures or seeing sizes. The homogeneity of
these KUG surveys is rather low, but their catalogues form a somewhat large
collection of UV-excess/blue galaxies. In these circumstances, we intend to
merge both catalogues, upon requests from investigators working in follow-up
observations of these galaxies.
In the process of catalogue merging, we met a systematic difference between
the first (KUG1) and the second (KUG2) surveys in overall properties of
objects, such as brightness, degree of UV-excess and morphological type.
This mainly originates from differences in the observation condition and
personal errors in the survey. We scrutinize and discuss those differences
and errors, and finally merge into a comprehensive catalogue of KUGs
(KUG2000) in the machine-readable form including near ten thousand
UV-excess galaxies.
