KISS III. [O III]-selected survey list

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

The KPNO International Spectroscopic Survey (KISS) is an objective-prism survey for extragalactic emission-line objects.

Description

It combines many of the features of previous slitless spectroscopic surveys with the advantages of modern CCD detectors, and it is the first purely digital objective-prism survey for emission-line galaxies. Here we present the first list of emission-line galaxy candidates selected from our blue spectral data, which cover the wavelength range 4800-5500{AA}.

In most cases, the detected emission line is [O III] {lambda}5007. The current survey list covers a 1{deg}-wide strip located at {delta}=29{deg}30' (B1950.0) and spanning the right ascension range 8h30min to 17h0min. An area of 116.6d{deg}^2^ is covered.

A total of 223 candidate emission-line objects have been selected for inclusion in the survey list (1.91{deg}^-2^). We tabulate accurate coordinates and photometry for each source, as well as estimates of the redshift, emission-line flux, and equivalent width based on measurements of the digital objective-prism spectra. The median apparent magnitude of the sample is B=18.2, and galaxies with redshifts approaching z=0.1 are detected.
