EMISSION-LINE GALAXIES IN THE HAMBURG QUASAR SURVEY

We present long-slit CCD spectroscopy of 32 emission-line galaxies dis covered by the Hamburg Quasar Survey. Classification of these galaxies using emission-line intensity ratios shows them to be excited by phot oionization of hot stars with one exception showing Seyfert characteri stics. Photographic reproductions of direct Schmidt plates are present ed as finding charts and for morphological studies. In approximately 2 5% of the objects there is evidence for interaction with neighbouring galaxies.
