Cc. Popescu et al., SEARCH FOR EMISSION-LINE GALAXIES TOWARDS NEARBY VOIDS - LIST 2, Astronomy & astrophysics. Supplement series (Print), 133(1), 1998, pp. 13-24
We present a second list of emission-line galaxies (ELGs) discovered d
uring our survey of nearby voids. The project aims to answer the quest
ion of whether the giant galaxies are fair tracers of the large scale
structure and whether the voids are really empty. This pa per is the t
hird of a series of papers dedicated to this project. The survey was b
ased on a sample selected from the HQS (Hamburg Quasar Survey) - IIIa-
J digitised objective prism plates and the main selection criteria was
the presence of emission-lines, mainly of the [OIII] lambda 5007 line
. Positions, heliocentric redshifts, detected emission lines and findi
ng charts are provided for ELGs in a region North of the Coma Superclu
ster, 30.5 degrees < delta < 45.5 degrees, centred around 13.5(h). Mos
t of the galaxies presented here are from the extreme faint candidates
, close to the detection limit of the photographic plates. Brighter ga
laxies detected among the candidates of the same region were discussed
in Popescu et al. (1996) (Paper I). A few redshifts of other emission
line galaxies observed since the publication of Paper I are also incl
uded; in total, we present new redshifts for a total of 47 galaxies.
