Abstract
We present the fifth list with results(star star) of the Hamburg/SAO Survey for Emission-Line Galaxies (HSS therein, SAO {Special Astrophysical Observ atory, Russia). The list is a result of follow-up spectroscopy conducted wi th the 2.2 m CAHA and 4 m Kitt Peak telescopes in 1999. The data of this sn ap-shot spectroscopy survey confirmed 166 emission-line objects out of 209 observed candidates and allowed their quantitative spectral classification and redshift determination. We could classify 98 emission-line objects as B CG/HII galaxies or probable BCGs, 5 - as QSOs, 3 - as Seyfert galaxies, 2 - as super-associations in subluminous spiral galaxies. 25 low-excitation ob jects were classified as starburst nuclei (SBN), 24 as dwarf amorphous nucl ei starburst galaxies (DANS) and 3 as LINERs. Due to low signal-to-noise ra tio we could not classify 6 ELGs. Furthermore, for another 4 galaxies we di d not detect any significant emission lines. For 131 emission-line galaxies , the redshifts and/or line intensities are determined for the first time. For the remaining 30 previously known ELGs we give either improved data of the line intensities or some independent measurements.
